I know this is a small and personal gripe, but I im tired of the excessive alcoholism in manwhas and roll my eyes everytime. I understand peer pressure and the Korean culture around alcohol, but does NO ONE have a spine?
Idk I just think its weird that the characters know better and know that bad shit will happen if they get blackout drunk but still always drink anyways. Having both parents be alcoholics sways my views tho ig...
no i get u i hate shit like this too
Its not just Korea, Japan has the same issue. Its why they also have non alcoholic beer as not everyonelikes to drink. They can fire you for not being a team player, bully you at work, or some other bs. Also if you don't stay at a company for at least 5 yrs you are seen as a bad employee.
idfk if this applies similarly but in Mexican culture u will get ur ass grilled if u don’t drink,, it doesn’t matter if u have a backbone. also they are all men living in harsh conditions so I imagine it’s sm worse. this type of alcoholism is unfortunately brushed off as normal
Wow this actually makes me think that the author knows a bit about the gay experience. Its nice to see one's that show part of the reality of the queer experience instead of "omg what if the two hot dudes kissed and homophobia didn't exist".
Don't get me wrong, not every story has to be realistic and sad because of it, but I like seeing it when it does :)
