Shutline & Flashlight plagiarism drama
So what do y'all think about the Shutline and Flashlight plagiarism drama? Tbh I don't know much about it, just saw some things on twitter the other day and now I stumbled upon a thread with similarities between the two series ---> https://x.com/shutline4ever/status/1947983230201667659?t=MaZLEVyw4_stYeUALDGpgA&s=19 And as a reader of both, I haven't really noticed anything while reading but my brain kinda shuts off while reading yaoi and both of them have their fair share of usual BL tropes so I didn't clock shit

I've seen this post. Honestly in everything they point out is what every other bl manhwa/ga/hua have and yeah point out the similarities all you want but at the end of the day if this is what considered plagiarism then almost every bls in here should have the same accusations. The author of shutline accusations is a reach and I hope she wake tf up ...... reply
I haven't read neither of this but Im here for the drama
Edit, I get what that person is saying bc it really seems like one took the other as a guideline. Although im not part of that industry i do study in a field that has a strong view on plagiarism and sadly you cant call it that here, theres enough variations between the two that it can pass f...... reply
its soo stupid like i genuinely dont think its plagiarized at all, like compared to the plagiarism issue between all about lust & childhood complex (plagiarized) this is just a nothingburger i feel so bad for flashlights artist bru 1 reply
I haven't read shutline or flashlight in awhile and I too didn't notice any similarities lol. some of the evidence on that thread is far fetched but in others I can really see the similarity. dang that's crazy though. Bl authors need to come up with a new verse or something atp cause they're clearly running out of ideas. reply
