idk if its js me. but in east asia and parts of southeast asia, homophobia is fuckin rampantttt. either straight up, or in a passive aggressive way. i know in western countries it’s more open, but this manhwa lowk reminding me of what it was like in the west back in 2010-2015. bein queer was blatantly hated against. even where i grew up in my home country, it was so easy to throw the f-slur and have no one bat an eye.
idk. it’s kinda eye-opening to see a new manhwa show the homophobia so. aggressively. especially considering we in the big 26
I remember slurs and homophobia definitely being a lot more prevalent back in the day. I don't think I really lived through the extremes but do remember it being a thing. Like politically there was gay marriage which was a thing for a couple years and how big deal broke back mountain was lol. The start of Queer media and representation in the public. I think I definitely grew up right in the middle of these times and I honestly sometimes forget how crazy shit was back then.
I think it's kinda cool that manhwas are bringing this theme back, it def makes the characters more dimensional. This is a major theme in Pearl Boy 2 too and it has a choke hold on me.
That behavior is very normal in Latin American countries too, even in Spain, some countries are pass that but not others , they still live in the 1900.
i want that oyasumi punpun, the horizon, junji ito, monster, shit. or any horror series. i’ve read a lot and i kinda just wanna be scared for once lmao and not have it be a result of cheap webtoon jumpscares
something identical to “breaking through the clouds 2” or “payback” except with lesbians HDKDHCK i’m already reading the current GL manhua with the black haired mc and the blonde FL, so far it’s good. ive also read the other one with the pathologist and the detective. basically i’ve been through the baihe hole LOL, but the novels i want arent translated yet :(( also, the manhua adaptations aren’t that gud :(( i just want sumn identical to breaking through the clouds 2 LMAODIFODKF im a sucker for series with plot but sprinkle in a dose of romance. JUST GIVE IT TO ME PLEASE IM IN A YURI DROUGHT AND I CANT KEEP READING LIVING WILL AND GETTING TO KNOW GRACE ALL OVER AGAIN
