I found the art of this bl on TikTok, and I thought that it looked interesting, two attractive men who are cowboys?? I was soo hyped, however, I did not know that the whole setting and story is… this.
What shocks me is how the creator decided to make a story like this in the first place, plus the last bit of dialogue? Insane. I’m just glad they decided to cancel this, because, honestly, this bl would’ve become even more problematic if it had continued. Romanticizing slavery??? I just saw a comment literally brushing off the movie Pocahontas, claiming it never received criticism, when it clearly did for a long time. Plus, someone said that ‘it’s not that deep’. Are you fucking kidding me??
I don’t think I’ve read this creator’s other stories, however, I feel like a lot of BL creators brush aside things like rape, domestic violence, and such, that this creator just decided to brush aside racism and slavery and romanticize it with white savior complex. WTF. I’m just glad that at least 50% of commenters are also calling this out
If there’s anyone who can recommend me an actual good cowboyxcowboy story, please put a few recommendations
