All these people in manhwa comment sections keep saying, "Oh my God, why are you so offended if the ML has experience? It's his choice. Why the fuck are you so bothered about whether he's experienced or not?" But these are the exact same people whose comments I've read defending a manwhore ML while turning around and slut-shaming the MC for doing the exact same fucking thing.
I've literally seen people say, "If the ML is a player, it's fine." But the moment the bottom sleeps with someone else, suddenly he's "dirty," "used," or "slutting around." I even saw someone comment that the MC should go and fuck someone else instead of wasting his life on this fucking manwhore. The replies? "Are you 12?" "Grow up." The irony is fucking hilarious.
See, this is where culture plays a huge role. Different countries have completely different attitudes toward sex. In many conservative societies, sex isn't treated as casually as it is in some more liberal cultures. In my country, it's completely normal for people to have their first sexual relationship in their early or even mid-twenties. Meanwhile, if you grow up in an environment where dating and sex at 15 or 16 are common, then obviously your perspective on sexual experience is going to be different.
So when people mock others by saying, "Are you a kid?" or "Why the fuck do you care if he's experienced?", they're speaking from a completely different cultural lens. To them, having multiple partners isn't a big deal. Fine. But stop acting like your fucking perspective is the universal standard everyone else has to follow.
What pisses me off is the blatant fucking hypocrisy. If it's genuinely "his choice" for the ML to sleep around, then it should also be the MC's choice. But the second someone suggests the MC should go out, fuck someone else, or have his own experience before ending up with this manwhore, suddenly everyone loses their fucking minds. So which is it? Is sexual experience normal, or does it only become a fucking problem when the MC does it?
And let's not pretend these authors don't know exactly what the fuck they're doing. If this is fiction, they could easily write both characters as experienced adults. Instead, they intentionally make one character a serial manwhore and the other a complete virgin. Why? Because it creates a massive fucking power imbalance. The ML becomes the MC's first for everything, emotionally and sexually, making it much easier to trap the MC in this bullshit "first love" narrative no matter how badly the ML treats him.
Then the fandom reinforces that same garbage by saying, "Well, the ML was his first, so of course they have to end up together." That's the same tired-ass narrative that's been shoved into these stories for decades, and people keep eating it up without questioning the obvious double standard behind it.
Now imagine the opposite. If the MC had already been through multiple healthy relationships, he'd recognize every single red flag this asshole throws up. He'd know exactly what a player looks like, wouldn't romanticize bare-minimum affection, and would be far less likely to tolerate the ML's bullshit. The author knows that. That's exactly why the MC is almost always written as sexually inexperienced while the ML has fucked half the damn city. It isn't a coincidence. It's a deliberate narrative choice to create dependency, imbalance, and make readers accept a relationship they probably wouldn't buy if both characters were on equal footing.
And for fuck's sake, can people stop with this pathetic "Are you 12?" or "You must be a teenager" bullshit? That's not a fucking argument it's just a lazy-ass attempt to dodge the discussion because you don't actually have a point. Since when did being an adult automatically mean you're intelligent? Some of the dumbest, most hypocritical, most emotionally immature, and downright insufferable people I've ever seen have been fully grown adults.Im an adult btw
So stop acting like adulthood is some fucking achievement that makes your opinion objectively superior. It doesn't. I've seen adults throw tantrums over fictional characters, defend toxic relationships with Olympic-level mental gymnastics, and then have the audacity to call someone else "childish" for disagreeing with them. The irony is fucking embarrassing.
And stop using "teenager" like it's an insult. Even if someone is a teenager, so fucking what? That doesn't mean they're incapable of thinking critically or making a valid point. If anything, it's pretty pathetic that a grown-ass adult's best comeback is, "You must be 12." Congratulations you've proven absolutely nothing except that you'd rather mock someone's age than actually defend your argument.
If your entire rebuttal is just age-shaming instead of addressing the actual fucking point, then maybe you're the one who needs to grow the fuck up. Because maturity isn't measured by the number of birthdays you've had it's measured by whether you can have a discussion without hiding behind childish insults and acting like your age automatically makes you right.
