She isn't oda, just an author who was harassed
These people preach not understanding history and that a story like this had potential but no, they'd rather focus on the negatives and in consequence, writers or anyone overseas probably wouldn't want to know about the Civil War now.
The point went over your head （￣へ￣） ,
Even if she decided to keep writing the manhwa and just made it for LezhinKR (like WebtoonsKR did with Get Schooled) it still wouldn’t have deep world building because that is not the focus— the romance, sexual tension, sex—are *not only* the important parts of the story but as well as the only focus of said story; going by her track record of her other series. And the lack of world building when it comes to this era or others isn’t limited to Jaxx only (outside BLs & as well as BLs set in said era) manhwas set in renaissance era (especially ones without transmigration) don’t go deep into world building or heavy into social class —- because the era/world building is not important (hence the Oda comment). Also Jaxx is not the first nor the last manhwa author to place a story in the Civil War, the same applies to other war eras. There are other mangas and manhwas that are based in the Civil War, so to state that it will never happen is ridiculous. Finally Oda gets harassed too and made fun very often on social media(if you are not apart of OP fandom or fan of OP you wouldn’t be aware); and it’s a pretty popular notion that a lot of One Piece fans aren’t fans of Oda.
I know what you mean, I agree she isn't world building, that doesn't change the fact that this was her story, in a setting she probably did research before hand. The Civil War is no secret after all. Regardless the hate probably made her doubt her story and now it's canceled. I'm more angry at the fact that the mob seems to only interpret the civil war from their view instead of actually looking at it as it was.
god that user who keeps bringing up pocahontas as a gotcha is a dumbass
I agree, but don't say anything sane or they'll mob hunt you, protect yourself #－.－)
Which is what? Hate to break it to you but the Civil War is an easy to understand and very black and white type of war; just like the level of harm and cruelty as the Korean & Vietnam war type of black & white. But also she stated she didn’t do enough research when it comes to the context of slavery/“post” slavery in regards to the Civil War. Because like I said it’s very B&W with one sided being the physical, mental, emotional etc toll it took on a lot of soldiers and the side that affected African Americans. The trauma of war could have easily been applied without the slavery especially if it was going to be done in a half ass way. This is the very first chapter the chapter that is supposed the grab the audience and set the stage/tone for the rest of the season—-it fail terribly flat especially with people that can truly understand the gravity of issue. I honestly think she bring back these characters without the slavery and if it’s still in there then there seriously needs to be enough space to tackle his privilege (class & race) & the harm his family caused.
The Civil wasn't black and white, it was actually very great which is why it's a very important even in American history. I implore you dig deeper into that rabbit hole it's very interesting and historians would agree. What the jaxx was writing was a bl between a union solider and a half native American, id have more issues if it was set a Confederate x a native, but there's evidence of union soliders becoming slave abolishonists which is why I'm saying this BL had a possibility of being great, but the hate mob will do what they do
Great!? Omg I meant GREY
This is last time I am writing under this post then I’m moving on with my life especially when I’m on this website, but imma need you birdbrain bitches to stop mentioning Pocahontas and El Dorado—saying they have never been called out for their white savior troupe, fetishization and racism—-this is completely untrue. The same goes for saying Black people never came for the inaccuracies of American history; y’all are so damn ignorant. And stop saying that this would have been an eye opener on the history of Chattel Slavery, the Civil War era & Indigenous genocide/mass rape; it wouldn’t.
I like Jaxx but she is not about turn into Oda when it comes BL and start heavy world building
