can we talk about how blatantly racist this was? i’ll try to summarize, please just hear me out.
darker skinned man is “savage,” needs to be “tamed,” literally has a COLLAR put on him by a white skinned, white-haired, civilized, prim and proper man. he’s literally referred to as a brute and a savage (historical racism) and is put in a collar with a chain on it (again, historical racism.) this whole thing reeks of a white savior complex (granted it *is* korean, ig) and is poisoned with constant microaggressions.
the story was shit, too. after all of that, mooksan STILL stole the antler and sold it? zero logic, zero character development, it’s just cheongyeom being perfect, poised and patient and mooksan causing chaos, being cruel and inconsiderate, just being extremely shitty. :/ the art was good, but it barely made it readable for me.
S/A is still S/A even if he’s the one penetrating, he literally said wait/stop/it hurts/etc. i hope wongyeom (blondie) actually faces consequences for his actions like woojeong (black hair) insisted.
i am aware there is possibly a bit of nuance to the situation because wongyeom wasn’t in his right mind + was planning on rewinding time anyways, but assault is never okay. i really want to like this since the art is killer and there is a SEVERE lack of muscular bottoms, let alone *power bottoms,* in BL, but we shouldn’t look past something so despicable imo.
in the extremely rare event that the author will explore the trauma and careless cruelty/immorality/indifference of wongyeom, it’s a useful scene that adds to the story.
in the infinitely more likely scenario, it’s just a rape fetish, just with the roles reversed, and is unnecessary. the author could’ve changed the scene to perhaps woojeong being provoked into it, a sense of urgency/a duty to protect as a guide/even just plain reluctant attraction because wongyeom’s a douchebag (WHICH THEY ALREADY EXPLORED.) why do authors shoehorn rape into literally everything!!! i’m tired!!!
sorry for rambling, i’m sad and disappointed. T_T
Tbf you have to consider it similar to cpr in real life, given that it's only done to save a life
Would consider the lip to lip for rescue breath or touching the chest for chest compression as SA? Also if an esper/sentinel go into rampage they aren't only one who die but everyone around them would also be in danger
minoru and yamadera’s queer relationship is the focus of the story, and minoru’s journey to self acceptance. queer people are demonized and compared to “monsters,” which makes what this represents extremely obvious: yamadera (the younger office guy) is fully gay. he has accepted himself as a “monster,” and feels resentment towards how minoru wishes he wasn’t a “monster”, aka he wishes he was straight. it’s no mystery why someone who accepted himself as gay feels insecure in a relationship with a self-hating bisexual man.
i mean, ffs, the ENTIRE manga is about their relationship and identity struggles, why are people ignoring that??
it can, but again, this is seinen genre. im sure the reason the author chose not to put sex scenes is because of self-proclaimed “horny perverts” that would completely miss the point of the story. even without sex scenes, it’s too difficult for fujos to grasp the story, hence all of the complaining.
You know, I agreed with all your points until you started belittling others just to make a point. That's really uncalled for man. If people *seriously* are complaining about not enough smut, they'd bring it up to the authors or sounded more serious like how your message are worded.
But most of the comments here are just lighthearted jokes of wanting to see more intimacy between the characters. Whether the author includes it or not is still not as important as the messages the authors are trying to convey, amazing plot, and character developments (which, all are what I believe most of us came here for).
Yet, there is also nothing wrong with voicing out hope for more intimacy or be against it so that the message and significance of their relationship can be conveyed more intensely. It's just not right to belittle other's opinions in order to make ours appear 'better than thou'. That's really not cool.
You’re doing to much seinen doesn’t mean explicit homosexuality can’t be shown they literally have straight sex in seinen mags lol there are in fact seinen BLs with intimacy they author just didn’t put it cause they didn’t want to not some grand misogynistic reason that fujos wouldn’t understand this. Your interpretation might not even be correct either.
girl me disliking most fujos has nothing to do w hating women, in my experience they completely disregard stories and everything in favor of poorly written porn. looking past the fetishizing of rape/incest/pedophilia in favor of low tier goons is unforgivable. my interpretation might not be correct, however it is a possibility. seinen can show sex scenes, absolutely, even S/A like berserk does. it just doesn’t particularly make sense for this one, as the narrative focus isn’t reliant on it
is it a nitpick to say the sex scenes kinda sucked? that’s not how it goes for gay sex like, at all. it’s pretty rare for someone to be able to climax from prostate stimulation alone, and difficult and rare for people w dicks to get hard immediately after busting. so many sauceless smut scenes, but the story was so good










of COURSE the rape is trivialized and made into the punchline. of course it is deliberately dismissed and included as nothing more than the author’s fetish.
im so sick of everything having S/A shoehorned into it, esp since it doesn’t need to be. by the “comedy” of this chapter alone, it’s abundantly clear that the trauma it could’ve (should’ve) caused woojeong won’t be explored or even slightly elaborated on, im extremely disappointed. was looking forward to finally having a masculine uke (and a power bottom, at that!!! holy shit!!) but then it’s just rapeslop.
