I loved this story as someone who relates to him I like the dark humor. Hooni is so adorable. Def got lost with the plot and didn’t like it towards the end. I don’t get why people are crying “I’m intentilized edgy dark humor” keep crying who cares it’s not for you and some people are into this type of stuff where it’s a cute twink doing stuff like this bc it’s relatable
The yaoi community used to be so good back in 2020 but the new community ruined it…we used to be so nice to eachother but now there’s drama “you read jinx bc it means you support rape”
anytime I go on TikTok it’s just filled with people hating on others for dumb reasons…like ppl who read “toxic” yaoi “you can’t like him” despite the point of it is for the development. For example backlight people attacked me for liking him…like who cares?there’s also double standards bc how come you’re okay with ho bottoms but when a top is like that then it’s bad? When ppl attack others for reading jinx “it’s a grape story” like I only read it for the slow build up of the character development… I don’t read it for the grape especially bc they act like it’s “only rape” when there’s so much more to the story…
The new community is just so annoying
unpopular opinion the yaoi community is still almost exactly the same as it was back in the pandemic. there are still rape apologists, and there are still people who don't support it. i read jinx too (dont particularly enjoy it but, well, i have a severe case of fomo), nobody shits on me for that. u will get shitted on, though, when u go out of ur way to justify what a character does. if someone tells me jaekyung is a rapist who does not deserve kim dan, i will 100% agree. whats not to agree? why r u so pressed when someone points out a very very correct thing? isn't it a good thing? if you're actually reading it for the character development or the 'plot', then i dont see why you're so pressed about the people calling the rape fetishizers out. they're not talking about u. unless... they are?
It's not even about the community. I've been in the community for 8 years now and in my opinion it was worse back then because people would literally read anything and say it's good even if it had morally questionable content.
HOWEVER I totally understand where you're coming from. It's not a matter of community but popular culture. People attack Jinx while simultaneously reading other stuff I won't name or attack, of the same nature. The hypocrisy comes from their inability to critically think that you can just choose NOT to engage and mind your own business. Simply, it's also like that because Jinx is extremely popular and mainstream media. It's a sort of promotion.
I suggest you don't get too bothered by it. Those who are just like you aren't too far away. I can't say all Jinx enjoyers are all good people but I can say that to each their own opinion and you can simply disengage from those who can't think for themselves. (Like bw fr it's already chapter 69 how are you gonna hate and still keep reading)
:( the fujoshi hate is so force. Without us this site wouldn't even exist. Who was there when yaoi wasn't "cool"? Who was there to see the evolution of yaoi art styles? Who was there when yaoi was nothing? The disrespect towards the foundation of this site is beyond me. SHAME ON YOU! The straight shits and woke gays are my ick - I swear
Woaaa everywhere i go theres this 'woke' 'unwoke' drama TTTT (just got back from ig n twitter)
I thought i can escape from it here.. ig not TTTT Everytime i scroll this section to find interesting manhwa ppl talk about, there must be 1 type of comment thats like this (im talking bout both sides)
Byee2 comment/question/ppl sharing things section (。・´д`・。)
Wait ! Did rape happened? Actually it's been so long I forgot ! And I am not particularly reading it so I don't know about now but did rape happened? Cuz i only remember them bring in contract of fuck buddies, so not really rape i would say, cuz boy dan definitely became sex slave, well kinda. jaekyung was definitely shitty man, but i don't get these bottoms who tryna sell their body. If he was too broke to afford the hospital bill and got in the fuck buddy contract then why tf did he leave the contract? Was his pride and ego not wounded before ? Is it because he got emotionally attached? But i think realistically if a person is desperate enough to sell their body then they will also cope with shitty personality, humiliation even to emotional level. Well but the person trying to buy a body is worse. Well but I read it and I'll read it again haha. Ig i don't know. ( Don't come cursing me pls )
nigga wait it's taking me a fuckload amount of time before i process all ts are u deadass? chap 4 was him sa-ing dan cus he can't keep that shit in his pants, yea they had a contract but dan backed out b4 they do the deed cus aint no way that huge dick is going in his ass, and what did jaekyung do? he forced dan to do it w him still cus he couldn't keep that shi in his pants no more. be serious
A few people on Mangago aren't very chill — they're loud and seem to have anger management issues, but not everyone is like that. Just don't mind them! On other websites, you'll find people just enjoying manhwas and making memes of their favorite characters. Jinx and Backlight are great! Seo-in is so beautiful. I wish we could post memes and emojis here, it's actually thanks to a meme pic that I got into Backlight. Everyone was asking the OP for the sauce, lol. Seo-in's face is top-tier! .
Hahaha, I told ya that I don't remember it well, i read it almost one year ago ? I don't know man I have left it ages ago. Umm but they didn't they did the deed and also made a contract cuz i remember them living together. Bro don't tell me to read it again ! Imma not hahaha . I don't hate them nor particularly like them .
That's fiction ;) so I'm ok with it, did it say anywhere it was based on a true story? Lol I remember reading about someone who thought he could fly after playing Pokemon, I was like, who's that stupid? Don't go walking into a wall thinking you'll get to Hogwarts. Not happy with the plot and the rape or the aggressive sex scenes? Become the change you want to see in the manhwa world and go produce your own manhwa. Let us know how it went. I love Jinx and Backlight (^○^). So unfortunate it's on hiatus.
That’s what you guys always say “ it’s just fiction” so you can continue to read without thinking the implications of it or the impact these types of stories can have. You believe it or not but jinx and black light and other rape yaoi normalizes, and romanticizes rape and abuse. Also just perpetuates the stereotype, that gay man are predatory. So don’t expect people to not call out problematic media especially when it comes to fetishizing gay men.
genuinely genuinely curious about something - a few weeks ago some people were talking about this one game that was gonna be released. it allowed players to rape their mother, sister, and other female characters in the game as some sort of 'revenge'. this was all targeted towards men, of course. people were, obviously, outraged and i think its release got cancelled. do u also support that game? are u with the men rallying for the game? do u think there's nothing wrong with that game since none of it is real?
You seriously think just because you’ve been reading yaoi for a long time to the point you became completely desentisied to rape makes you a better person or in this matter even a victim? do you hear yourself? you think this new community is terrible judt because they don’t agree with your very fucked up fetishes. Please fucking use your brain for once and stop acting like we owe you any respect. im genuinely so tired of seeing people act as if rape is some plot device for a story, it’s not spicy it’s not sexy it’s disturbing. It literally romanticised trauma. you guys are so weird.
My brain isn’t so dead that I can’t tell the difference between fiction and reality. You seem so angry, did someone hurt you? Getting mad at random people over two cartoon characters smashing each other characters is lmao. Don’t forget, they’re fictional. The real world is way ... different. Again, go produce your own manhwa if you're so unhappy about the turns of event.
I'm not a gamer, why would I care about such a game? I think games are such a waste of time, but that's my opinion, I don't go around lecturing and telling people to stop wasting their time on them, I let them be. Their life their choice. I hate the smell of Durian, I don't go around calling people nasty because they like that fruit. Since when am I the center of this world and does my opinion prevail over others? You are free to hate rape in manhwas and I'm free to not care about it.
but it IS dead tho cus u're proving my point and tryna look cute while doing it, u acting dense or js pretending? LMFAO u got defensive the moment i brought up rape in those bl manhwas u read. it's pretty damn ironic how u call it fiction, yet it rattles u like it's not lol so go ahead, say it straight: u enjoy reading stories with rape in em. that's what u're telling me, yea? and no sweetie, i don't need to write/produce a manhwa to call out trash. that's not how critique works cus yk, i've got moral clarity and functioning brain cells xo
Life must be tough for you to want to be that right, and if you're this upset over a piece of digital art with two fictional characters smashing each other, use your common sense to differentiate fiction and real life, or your blood pressure won’t make it past the next manhwa. Did you just call my writing cute? Your perspective is off, nothing I said was cute. You have some controlling issues. Unfortunately, in the web world, you can't control people and dictate to people what they can read. Let the community know when you start producing your own manhwa, based on a true story, with so much criticism, I expect a masterpiece.
? bro, we aren't the ones who made the comment in the the first place. someone else did, complaining about how people criticize rape in fiction. you're hearing that, right? if u can't control what people read, u can't control what people say about it too. if yall go around being rape apologists, do u really expect normal people to be all 'yeah, ain't nothing wrong with that' and let u be? criticism is the first step to change. you're a nasty smelly piece of shit, u best believe you'll be called our for it.
I'm not OP, I responded to OP. You all jumped in just to lecture others. You can write what you want, and I can read and respond how I want. Constructive criticism is the first step toward real change, but mindless criticism is just noise. Wanting to control how people think or speak is your path to dictatorship; it's just a way to silence voices you don't agree with. Unfortunately for you, I was born in a democracy and will speak my mind.
Who are you to define what's normal? Defining yourself as the normal one and others as abnormal that's something only a person with a closed mindset would say... It's odd, especially since you're on a website that isn't even really mainstream. Call me names all you want, it doesn’t affect me. I don't have that anger in me. Life has been good to me. Go ahead, keep it going, we are still at tab 3 with this comment. I'm sure we can make to 20.
r we deadass rn 'dictatorship' 'mindless criticism' 'closeted mind' just cuz i said we shouldn't be glorifying or glazing over problematic themes honest to god idc if u fap to rape porn. do whatever the fuck u want bro, just don't go commenting weird shit. or telling others its normal to find it hot. or whatever the fuck yall do.
It doesn’t matter that it’s fiction. This particular story isn’t real but all the abuse and violent actions depicted in this story do very much happen a lot in real life (e.g David Star, Joe Ryan, Bill Cosby, etc). It’s crap reasoning to disregard the actions in this story solely because it is fiction. You wouldn’t praise a person for raping or SA-ing a person in real life but you love this character for doing such a thing in a manhwa?
But like also that fact it is fiction is bad because it can make unrealistic expectations of relationships in life and getting too caught up in fiction can lead to our relationships in the real world being affected, even slightly unconsciously, by the stuff we read online, even if we “know the difference” between fiction and reality.
The line between the two can often become blurred as they are able to mirror our reality so well and this can directly influence readers by giving them a new perspective but in Jinx the way that it is written romanticises violent and abusive relationships which can then affect the mind and make readers think that the actions depicted are not bad or even attractive as a result of it being fiction. It basically says that victims should find this pleasurable and that perpetrators are being romantic. It can make readers think that what they’re doing is a part of normal relationships.
What’s the chapter where she ate the seaweed soup
