I have not survived 15 years reading yaoi for a manga to be cancelled like this.There are ...

Go read jinx and stfu all that porn is rotting your brain

I love your pfp :')

why are you admitting you're racist lmao

Stop groveling over a cancelled manhwa (rightfully so), because atp this is just giving fetishizing. Honestly be glad the author took accountability and cancelled this and recognized their own ignorance because what was the thought process while serializing this? Slave x owner, really? And mind you, two things can be true at once. YES there are other horrible manhwas out there but YES this one by JAXX is very clearly problematic and blatantly racist. The manhwa's theme settings does not change the fact that the relationship dynamic is harmful, (opressed x opressor) because no amount of good writing will ever erase the years of torture, racism, and discrimination that slaves went through that still very much bleeds through the present time.

Ateeee

I feel like it could've been so good man. Honestly so dissapointed, we didn't even get past episode one?! I wish people could of held their judgements until at least the first few episodes which usually get released in bulk for new stories. And the way people are just throwing around accusations of racism for people making logical arguments in the comment sections here is crazy lol.

A whole lot nothing to say you're probably racist. Also blindly worshiping authors is cultists behavior

a whole lot of nothing to call it worshiping an author. It's not inherently racist to tell a fictional story set during a period of slavery. Why cancel the entire story when you could correct and inform the author, so they can correct the story/language used instead.

It's not inherently racist yes but the author literally admitted they did no research on this sensitive topic. Excuse what you want.. but don't act like you're taking the moral high ground

Nobody said it's inherently racist to tell a story set during slavery. The problem is how the story is told. When your protagonist is a slave owner's son who's portrayed as "one of the good ones," loses his wealth, frees his slave (not really cuz the way he did it in this story is not how slave are actually legally freed) and then gets treated like a saint by the very people his family enslaved, you're not really telling a story about slavery. You're telling a story about how noble a white character is. The issue is that the enslaved characters seem to exist mainly to validate the white protagonist's morality and nobody is obligated to "correct and inform" an author before criticizing their work. Readers are allowed to say a story is poorly written, historically tone-deaf, or built on racist tropes. Criticism isn't cancellation the author herself CHOSE to cancel it after hearing the criticism.

Haven't really excused anything as far as i've read my own comment.

For real… we can see bl with far eastern and European slavery but American? Oh nooo! Tf? We seen crazy tops literally fuck ppl to DEATH but this is where we draw the line?

How about they're all bad but Jaxx is the only author that actually listened to the criticism? Why do y'all always have to make it the oppression Olympics?

Exactly my thoughts
So we can never have a historic BL? And it even seemed to be accurate, she seemed to have done research
We don’t even know more about that character who showed up for a frame and already judging? This is embarassing for people

Not sure if you guys've read more of the chapters than I have, but where is the white guy being treated as a saint by the enslaved men? The story literally has one chapter, the story hasn't even begun or been told in any sort of way to give judgement of how the author writes (or would write) these difficult topics.

Of course we can talk about the fetishization of the master/slave relationship, being put in this very sore historical topic. And maybe I am desensitized by having grown up reading fanfics, but I am of the belief of "don't like, don't read", but in the realm of yaoi and BL... fetishization comes with the territory. Especially BL with smut. Like every title from this author.

He is literally glazed my the faceless slaves???

Exactly…
You’re right… can’t argue with those who have bananas for brains… they just keep repeating the words “racist” and “fetish” everywhere without making sound arguments

I love how y'all ignore everyone explaining the problem with this story

They literally thanked him and said their goodbyes and "by the way the cowhand is gonna arrive soon". I literally had to pull the chapter up again, because of your comment. I'm a bit astounded by how you view that interaction, to be honest.

Is it possible you guys have your guard up because of racism in the US?

You are genuinely blind atp
