I actually fucking despise meta glass users. So I’m walking to the convenience store to get some snacks, as I’m walking in the corner of my eye I spot a group of men on bikes. Obviously I’m just minding my own business, then one of them fucking swerves and almost hits me. They also had meta glasses. This might be my 13th reason why 1 reply
guys I genuinely can’t stop reading… how do I get over my addiction? I used to hate reading bcuz I thought it was boring, but then I read this life changing novel and from that day on I couldn’t stop. I’ve read like 500+ manhwa and manga this year and it’s gotten so bad to the point I cry if I go a day without reading… I’ve spent like...... 3 reply
I just felt the worst betrayal I am truly heartbroken and don’t think I can recover from this. Fuck this stupid manhwa I DO NOT recommend this bs. 3 reply
I think if you really like that person and your feelings are mutual it shouldn’t matter what their sexuality is. Although I think the discourse of not wanting to date a bi person stems from insecurity and homophobia. Like a straight woman being embarrassed that her boyfriend was a bottom. Could also be a preference though reply
I used to call every mid to mid trash BL “revolutionary” and slap a 5/5 on it. Looking back now? Solid 2s, most of them. That’s exactly why I don’t trust anyone who calls a yaoi “peak”, half these people will call anything peak.
Sad ending ≠ peak. Angst ≠ amazing writing. And “psychological” doesn’t mean peak either, half the time it just means there’s a bunch of rape in it and people mistake trauma dumping for depth.
So, genuine question: what’s a BL you rated 5 stars back in the day that you’d rate way lower now? And what actually changed, the story, or just you? (It doesn’t necessarily have to be a BL I just used it as an example.)
I want to ask something, genuinely curious what people think. Do you guys believe that not wanting straight side couples in BL/GL is inherently misogynistic? I came across a thread where a girl said exactly that, she didn’t like straight side couples in her BL/GL, and the response was cruel. People called her every word in the book. Misogynistic, fetishizing, generalizing, basically anything that ended in “ize” or “ic” got thrown at her, whether or not it actually applied.
Here’s my take, I don’t think it’s misogynistic. Not even a little. If I’m reading a BL or a GL, I’m there for queer representation. That’s the reason I picked it up in the first place. So when a straight side couple gets inserted into the story, it’s not that I have a problem with hetero romance, I read plenty of it and enjoy it, it’s that it’s not what I came for. Wanting the media you turn to for representation to actually represent you isn’t a problem.
What bothers me is how casually people throw around words like “misogynistic” and “fetishizing.” These aren’t just insults you get to deploy because someone has a preference you don’t like. They mean something. And when you use them this loosely, you drain them of any weight for the situations where they genuinely apply.
The part that really gets me is that it’s usually the same people making these accusations who don’t actually care about gay men being fetishized, and don’t actually care about misogyny. They’re not defending anyone. They’re using the language of social justice as cover for what is, plainly, homophobia. Calling someone a “gay fetishizer” for reading BL, or “misogynistic” for not wanting heterosexual relationships in queer media isn’t concern about representation, it’s an excuse to be upset that queer stories exist without needing to justify themselves to people who dislike gay people in the first place. What’s your opinion on this?
The tropes that I hate is the ugly bastard with no face x hot guy, reincarnation trope where they only like the mc for their past self, age gaps, younger top x older bottom, ntr, and any type of imprisonment toxic yaoi or whatever u call that genre. IM SICK OF SEEING IT
Have you guys ever had a fake friend? Well, here's my experience.
I went through some mental health stuff and ended up dropping out of school for a bit. My friends were supportive in their own way, but never really asked why. I didn't mind that, it's not really their job to fix me.
One day I was kinda struggling and at a point where I just wanted to die, and I told one of them. First time I'd ever opened up like that. She said she'd pray for me and left me on delivered. After that I just kind of stopped venting to her.
My other friend already knew I was struggling, she'd give advice but nothing I hadn't already heard before, and she used to stick up for me when people talked crap, so I did appreciate her. But after I dropped out, we just naturally drifted, calls got less frequent, texts got shorter. I know she was busy with school too, so it wasn't all on her.
When I’d ask to hang out, they’d say they were busy but then post them hanging out with other friends on their story. They also never came to my birthdays, they said they were busy but again, I saw them posted up with other friends. They'd also talked crap about me before, multiple times actually. It used to bother me a lot, but after a while I just kind of got used to it.
Now that I've graduated, it feels like we've drifted even more. And it's a little awkward since we still live in the same town and run into each other sometimes.
Anyway, are my friends fake, or am I just reading into it too much? And did you ever have fake friends? What was your experience with them like.
did give life advice
