I, honestly, hate how some people treat trauma like it doesn't exist. The amount of negative comments on the uke is astounding; and it's all based on him being "swayed" by Reo...
All of these comments really go to show that people really don't understand what it's like to be queer in a place that's so against it - not to mention having a family that's also perceived to be against it.
When your entire existence is constantly being questioned, or is being told to you is "wrong," it's - without a doubt - going to crush your confidence.
When you're growing up in a place so dark that you can't even see your own hands in front of your face, how are you going to see that the thing you're touching isn't venomous? Once you get bit the first time, everything feels like a threat, even when you know it's not. One wrong word, from the wrong person, makes the soft bunny you thought you were petting turn into a bear cub. Now you know the mama bear's just around the corner, waiting, and it's your fault because you couldn't open your eyes that were glued shut
Oh, I'm 100% sure the majority of people reading this aren't queer. That's how gay media is... Sure, there are the mass amount of queer folk who read and love it, but then there's the majority of readers who just fetishize it and aren't actually queer. It's also, conveniently the non-queer folk who tend to have an opinion on these types of things. I've been reading BL for so long that I've slowly stopped feeding into it (unless I run into slander like the comments on this BL.)
*Should probably mention, I'm a gay dude :)*
EXACTLY!!! If I were to treat my boyfriend - or be treated by my boyfriend - like a straight couple would, I wouldn't be with a man in the first place... (Not that I really have to option to just choose who to love.) The normatives in straight relationships and queer relationships are going to be different. I'm not saying unhealthy, but they're definitely different. Social pressure plays a lot in a queer relationship whether you want it to or not. That's what gets me the most with some of the people who just fetishize...
As someone with ASPD, I absolutely love the representation!! The author conveys the ML as someone with a disability, rather than a lunatic. There's constantly negative stipulations around ASPD and the people with it. I've been told numerous times that I'm a horrible human for simply not having "enough empathy." (Even though that's just the surface of ASPD.) Everyone is different, ASPD is a spectrum, but the disorder itself isn't the problem. I have emotions, desires, interests and other "social normative behaviors," but I still have the disorder. I'm a human being. That why I love this series so much! The ML is human, not a "monster."









My glasses have the little dots on them from how hard I was crying
I don't ever cry from anything, so this stuff's sad
