(p.s.: I mean genre as in “a bit outdated yaoi reflecting fetishizing of gay ppl in a pretty conservative society”) but it’s okay to not dig that deep into practical porn-with-a-plot I guess.
Uhh I don't think he was that bad I just think he had a hard time coming to terms with us sexuality. Like you said it's not that deep and I quite liked the fact he was defiant because it made the moments when he opened up all the more special.
yep! +++ . and it’s sad that such a hard time has to be portrayed like this so often :(
For sure. I do get what you mean as this trope is used a lot and sometimes it can be frustrating. (￣∇￣")
Damn way to ruin the story Karen baby, if you don't like it don't read it, no need to read into everything
lmao i literally said that it stinks with over analyzing myself. r u ok? )
and “no-need-to-read-into-everything” is sometimes a harmful mindset. just so you know. not everyone is blessed with ignorance. sometimes people do talk, and it’s not always pleasant. you could’ve followed your own advice and just ignored it <3
Yes because your 'analysing self' told you that if you didn't ruin the story for people reading or still reading- you'd see yourself as ignorant lmfao and about the comment above, I cba to read thru that cuz I'm blessed with ignorance, feeling blessed
but i didn’t tell anyone to not read it hahahaha the story is funny and cool, and the characters DO get development. why do you think that critique goes hand-in-hand with not liking something>:c
it was just weird to see some unnecessary misogyny and stuff and it’s soooo on surface it can’t be overlooked. because sth pretty and amusing had to be darkened with sh*t like this. BUT THE STORY IS C U T E. and fun af. sorry if you had to feel like sth was ruined for you, but the problem is not ME ruining it,but society working in ugly ass ways
I don't wanna argue, but its a book, its not society. You don't watch series like YOU and then tell everyone whats wrong with with it. Its doesn't refer to anyones thoughts or opinions.
well yeah,because the consumers form opinions for themselves. but i shared my th0ts because i’d experienced internalized misogyny for years and wouldn’t even notice thinking it was okay when women were dragged down,jokingly or not. or it’s literally a norm in my patriarchal-ass country, just like in Japan, to be “funny homophobic gay”, and ppl traumatize each other like that. thinking it’s all jokes. like do u even know that so many ppl in Japan/China/Korea etc. rarely even believe that lesbians/gays EXIST, even with all the queer baiting they get in the media? because it’s about fetishizing, not accepting. lmao. don’t pick at ppl when you don’t know what they went through,or witness,or why they point out the obvious when it’s “not necessary”. everyone chooses what they give sense and meaning to. u don’t have to shame them for that. hope you a nice day, bye.
DUDE THATS WHAT IM SAYINGGGG like it was a complete turn off :/ i was really disappointed by that
like it was so icky to read how he perceives women and how he didnt respect the other’s boundaries when going to a club when it would make ANYONE uncomfortable man OR woman like.. ik i shouldnt expect anything more from a yaoi that isnt real gay rep but still
YES, thank you for saying this. like… i’m not much of a mOrALisT but this just sucks all the fun out.
nah bestie i always speak up abt this stuff and get lots of hate but honestly it just gets frustrating at this point yknow :// i’m bi so i just hate stereotypes in general
same, i’m bi too. this felt like …. hetero-coded. i said what i said. lmao
until you realize how the black-haired guy is actually the epitome of toxic masculinity with his stupid jokes towards his gay lover like “I thought you’d understand we’re both men” and non-stopping misogynistic remarks. eww. it’s like “yes I’m gay yes I’m homophobic yes we exist” meme. made it a bit uncomfortable to read, even when knowing the genre itself is not some high morals shit.
