With all due respect, we've been seeing sensitive topics in manga/manwha for years now: child abuse, SA, human trafficking, drug addiction, torture, you name it..
I'm Italian and I've seen the mafia trope being romanticized in so many ways (and yes, mafia is a sensitive topic in Italy and we all despise them) but never, ever, I thought about criticizing a work of fiction!
It's extremely disturbing that an author, who has been working on a story for months, feels the need to cancel months of hard work after just one chapter. ONE CHAPTER.
Months of hard work wasted for the premiere, the first chapter, the prologue of the story.... this is not the first time we see an owner-slave relationship, and it's only the premise to start the story.
THIS IS THE WORST AND THE MOST TOXIC FANDOM EVER, YOU SHOULD ALL FEEL ASHAMED AF WHAT YOU DID, NOT EVEN GIVING THE AUTHOR THE CHANCE TO DROP A FEW MORE CHAPTERS
Edit: based on the comments, I have to say that you guys get really pissed off only when your country is involved, because as long as your country is not involved, you actually don't give a shit about other countries' sensitive topics :)
Ewww what a gross take. Comparing the Italian mafia to slavery is wild work.
There's nothing wrong with criticizing a story that is culturally insensitive.
Just because you don't feel like you need to criticize something doesn't mean that other people don't. You aren't Black or Indigenous, so you don't get it. Simple as that. Even so, you should still educate yourself.
U do know that some people in Italy is still facing slavery from Mafia right…… they r still doing trafficking , getting killed, underpaid, harassed and abused. But no one is talking about bc it’s not certain race. U can literally search rn to see brutally they r doing in Italy, it just not highlighted to the world. So I hope u wont disregard her/ his comment. Cause it is real current situation rn
So because you don't think to criticize that shit we shouldn't either? It seems like you don't care about your own country if you're not pissed off about it either. That's so odd. For the sake of what? Art? You mean to tell me that if your voice could prevent the work of something so disgusting you wouldn't use it? Well I'm sorry but we are not built like that nor were we raised like that. And I'm sorry but the mafia cannot be compared to slavery at all. Slavery is way worse than anything that has ever happened in history. It's so bad that our schools don't let teachers teach us about what was really going on. Turning us into furniture, feeding our babies to alligators, using our teeth as dentures (George Washington had these) our hair as stuffing for pillows, they medically experimented on us, raped us made us rape each other (the term mother fucker came from that) I'm not trying to down play the mafia I'm just letting you know that American slavery is way worse than anything you can even think of. It's horrific. They didn't see us as human so they treated us like that and we are still feeling the affects to this day.
You shouldn't tolerate the mafia and we shouldn't tolerate slavery. Some things just shouldn't be romanticized.
Okay I understand now calm down. I get ur point . Sorry as I said I accidentally commented instead of other person . So I get y u would get angry. I didn’t wanan degrade u like that.
Peace so let’s start cancelling all mafia and slavery content reacted to real historic events form now on . It’s very injustice to people.
I hope this will teach Arthur not to write touchy sensitive anymore. Hopefully all is well.
I writing commmt here and there so I myself m getting confused which comment is which content it’s talking about. TT thx thx
No it’s my fault. This kinda embarrassing. I, myself m lost in content and whom I m commenting cause I m getting so many hate for saying I don’t understand where is the racism TT XD lol.
I m gonna hide now cause the misunderstanding, we had is creating some drama. People name are so similar I thought I saw u everywhere I comment sorrrrrreyyyyyyy
Frankly speaking, how much are the possibilities for our lists to go back to normal...?
At the beginning of this mess I read a comment saying that they would come back at some point and I was pretty optimistic... but I am really starting to lose hope tbh... I had more than 1k titles in my want to read list, now all gone...and I'm not even sure if my already read list is 100% complete or if it still miss something...
Scrolling down other comments, some users are saying that the series we had rated/tagged are the ones coming back, at least for now...and in fact the only list that is back to "normal" is my already read (since I rate every title I read) - though I can't be sure if it's complete or nor.
But yeah, all my reading and want to read look nowhere to be found... I'll wait a few more weeks and then I'll probably start all over again
Based on the comments, I have to say that you guys get really pissed off only when your country is involved, because as long as your country is not involved, you actually don't give a shit about other countries' sensitive topics :)
I’m gonna kiss you because you are so damn right
So true. We have seen a lot of other authors using slave x master relationship but not getting cancelled. Also it's a story and the civil war has nothing to do with the real world. I don't think jaxx hates black people. As u can see Gerald freed them. I mean, these readers should really chill out, just don't read it if you don't like it...
Gerald freed them? Whoa you can not be fr
Ppl from the USA are insufferable and I just hope Jaxx is doing ok
Yeah write about your own shit from your own country not that hard ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
that's the problem, there are so many slave × master relationships, and it's getting out of hand that it's ridiculous. Apparently, it's considered romantic to buy a slave and groom them to be your future partner. but hey, it's okay because they're slaves, right? they're bound to follow their master's orders... right?
As if Americans have never written and interpreted other countries shit ahahahhaha every country has done that
i’m not really from the usa, i’m from venezuela i just think it’s weird were using the slavery of black and native people for sexual content, i’m indigenous myself but not from any usa tribe, but i can empathize with not wanting a romance written with my colonizer
Dont read ir?
And I tell them the same shit you racist mf
I hope not that racist bitch needs to stay in it's place
I won’t, you won’t either because it got cancelled
I hope so too, I can't with the comments fr. It's like hearing teenagers argue, grow up
It is probably safe to assume more than half of the community are hard headed teens, I was not this hateful at that age tho, I dont understand why or how they are so determined to push people to their limits just because of disagreements? These new gens are so full of pent of rage and taking it out on the most random things... The emotions are valid but not their actions when they are harassing people to no end...
How did it get this bad (⊙…⊙ )
Its insane how openly racist and hateful the community is. You'd think cuz this has prevalent lgbtq themes it'll ward of bigots,but alas.
