first neurodivergent rep and then aro rep??? oh my god this was so peak
love seeing aro rep!
Id love to see a side story with the community he has around him!
hes super caring and understanding by how he treats his nephew so I'm sure thered be a lot of people who'd be drawn to him. it'd be nice to see some kinda story with him just bonding in a close way (not romantic) with someone like in a QPR!
basically when the mc tells him he didn't understand before meeting the ml, his uncle says something like yeah I don't understand romantic love either but I'm happy you know that's what you feel go for it basically that's what says he doesn't feel romantic love, hence aro. dunno about ace since well nothing is mentioned about sexual attraction but yah
it's still insane to me how normalized this still is, no one is talking about how there's NSFW scenes drawn in detail even though they're high schoolers, minors.
and ''sweetie'' it IS a real problem, both in GL and BL how half of the stuff out there is literally either rape culture, minors being in relationships with adults, or the author drawing smut of underage characters. and this is just as much of a problem irl and all those works just seem to keep on making more people think it's normal to groom younger people or to sexualize people who are underage. I honestly posted my first comment because I was literally just shocked how people still seem to still not gaf about all those works where all this stuff happens and everyone just excuses it every single time
donât let them silence you, itâs so weird how barely anyone talks about how much sa, manipulation, and lack of accountability there is in this godforsaken manga. not to mention this is all happening when theyre minors in HIGH SCHOOL!
the normalisation of sexualising minors is absolutely terrible - from the classic âschool girlâ porn category, to highschoolers in anime getting a panty and boob shot every 5 seconds, to nobody giving a fuck about minors being depicted having sex, and even people defending actual CHILDREN being sexualised and/or beinf with older/maturer people (loli/shotacon, and yes, it happens a LOT. iâve argued with SO many people over this one shotacon manga).
all of u who are saying âitâs fictionâ, fiction affects reality, how do you think kids are taught their future morals and values during their childhood? partially movies/tv shows (which are FICTION). how do you think people became prejudiced against sharks? the movie jaws. how do you think flip phones were invented? literally star trek.
normalising the sexualisation of minors in fiction normalises the objectification of children, which can desensitise our society to actual, real csa and grooming. also, as weâve seen, it lowers societal taboos against these themes (like how so many people are accepting of this).
not only that, these websites arenât 18+ at ALL. so children and teenagers can easily access these sites, which is not ok and happens a LOT. so many yaoi consumers (actual smut bl, not shounen ai) nowadays are teenage girls as well, which is hella weird.
anyway, i find it odd to defend against a manga which includes highschoolers having sex, beinf assaulted, and from what iâve seen of the comments, a student being with a TEACHERâŚeughâŚtop 10 worst tropes of all time istfg itâs disgusting
it is also the very same porn industry - the one that has ruined and tortured thousands upon millions of peoples lives, both their physical and mental health - which has contributed to the sexualisation of minors in real life and in fictional media. they are connected and the problem that we are addressing at hand right now is not unimportant just because how terrible the porn industry is.
thats like saying âoh you have depression? well i was abused my whole life, my parents died, iâm broke, and i have nothing to live for anymore. i donât know how to cope at this pointâ. itâs not a competition on which thing is worse for society, weâd never get anything done with that mindset.
there is 8.3 billion people on this earth. we donât need to do things one by one, little by little. plus, from the amount of damage porn has done to this world, it would take years to remove the effects of it, and i personally donât think many people actually care about it enough to stop it. not to mention the amount of money companies and corrupt people rake in by exploiting people. we canât just postpone one important matter just because something else is a lot more important.
my point is, please donât invalidate the significance of sexualising minors in media only because the porn industry is absolutely fucking terrible, and because you donât understand that fiction affects reality.
as others have said I do think the comments are harsh, I reread this again after a few years (rip I read it on bato and now it's gone) like it's a good story and I do agree the only issue being the best friend staying in their lives even though he didn't change any of his doodoo dogwater behavior and even his sob story in the middle wasn't interesting, but like genuinely apart from that the rest of the manwha just felt like two normal overthinkers falling in love with each other lol










watch me reread this because it's getting an anime (this is literally the best BL that anyone could ever read)
