Right here with ya
I dropped it when the "I'm actually straight but I'm gay for you" trope was the center of the story. When I saw all the comments on the front page I thought something finally happened and wanted to find out what it was.
And to be honest, when I saw all the annoyed and disappointed comments I couldn't help but giggle a little bit.
Back when I dropped it everyone who had a problem with the trope and how slow the story was, was accused of being narrow-minded because they "labeled" him as straight and humans shouldn't be labeled. Also he could be demisexual or something similar and the slow development is actually totally realistic.
Some people tried to explain why this trope is problematic, why tumblr mentality didn't apply here and that the slow development is just supposed to stretch out the story and has nothing to do with portraying their relationship in a more realistic way.
But any kind of criticism was pointless. The die-hard fans already decided that it was a flawless masterpiece and everybody who thought differently simply had no taste or couldn't understand its beauty.
I know it's mean to laugh about it but the contrast between the comments I read when I left and the comments I read today makes this situation pretty funny ;).
I totally agree. Just before i dropped this months ago, i started to feel kinda restless because of the lack progress, and at that point every character started to annoy the hell out of me, i dont even know why
And then i left a comment not much different from my first comment, and everybody bit my head off saying i read too much yaoi and couldn’t appreciate the pureness of shonen ai love sweet jesus
Now my same comment got 19 likes. Look where we are now
:D And not a single dislike on your post either. How times have changed ;) .
I dropped this like 4 months ago hoping to come back here like “oh hey guys long time no see wow they finally did it!” but nah.
See yall in another 6 months i guess
