What are some controversial opinions/takes you have?
Here are mine: Take 1: People who respond to criticism of taboo themes with “just don’t read it” or call you “woke” are being just as entitled as they accuse critics of being. Comments are open so people can discuss and critique, by that logic, if you don’t like the criticism, just don’t read the comments. It’s also weird how personally some of these people take it, getting angrier than the actual criticism, almost like they feel called out (and given their profile/reading history, they probably are). Another dodge is “you’re not criticizing the story, you’re criticizing the readers”, but if the story is something like shotacon, yeah, criticizing readers who defend it is fair. Continuing to read something doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to feel uncomfortable with it.
Take 2: That said, not everyone who reads dark/taboo media is bad or endorses it. “Well you read dark stuff too” isn’t the gotcha people think it is, some people seek out dark themes for representation (as an SA survivor, that matters to me), others just like the psychological genre and are still allowed to critique what it gets wrong.
Bring back media literacy. Stop harassing people for having opinions.
I think one day bdsm / the bsdm community has to reckon with the fact that it is not trangressive, "freak-ish", or inherently liberating (outside of personal feelings). Like if we really wanna talk about it, then it's really in-line with dominant structures. Even some authors that have been credited as spearheads (of our modern bdsm iteration) have...... 1 reply
My take is actual controversial takes will have very few likes. Any "controversial take" on here that has tons of likes aren't contraversial at all. Y'all just want to complain about something annoying and call it "controversial" for the likes and validation. 3 reply
I feel safer and closer with white women than I do with black men as a black woman. Obv not all black men are bad, you'll always see some of them actually defend us, and a lot of white women are evil, but majority of black men gross me out genuinely. They hate blw, especially darkskin women so freaking much, no other group of people hate us the way...... 6 reply
I find it odd how BL fan girls obsess over the characters positions. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m a lesbian and I’m mostly read yuri but i’ve taken a notice that bl readers tend to asphyxiate on the sexual positions of the character that they will drop stories if it’s on the tops pov or if the bottom is too buffy. I have noticed as...... 6 reply
Mine maybe get me hate from some readers but manhwa's from bwat is too much hyped. I started reading some but dropped midway. The only one that I completed till it's ist season now which is still ongoing is shuraka's story. I don't know but there is less chemistry and more sex between characters. It's just my opinion. 2 reply
Yes, nowadays people are misusing the term "larp", however I would be lying if I said I didn't like saying it and calling people larpers. Larpers > Posers. It just sounds better on my tongue 1 reply
harada genuinely doesn't understand consent and the only reason their works get any praise is because they overwhelmingly write psychological horror about worse dynamics.
But like, I genuinely think if you read yatamomo as their basis for what a relationship should be, a lot of their other works make more sense, esp color recipe 2 reply
1. People don’t take the movie jennifer’s body as serious as they should. Calling it toxic yuri seems to downplay jennifer’s horrible situation. She’s a struggling teen that couldn’t express her love and coped by being hypersexual which was used to take advantage of her and she ended up being raped and killed
2. The treatment alysa liu ...... 2 reply
