Kind of a rant but since the release and cancelation of that yaoi set just after the civil war in America (and even before that) I've noticed bl readers literally need every instance of racism spelled out for them, like yeah Blossoms of the White Night is a racist orientalist story and you can still like the romance while acknowledging the bastardization of SWANA cultures. The Snake that Swallowed the Pomegranate too. But if you dare say anything then you're a woke westerner American obsessed with race...stop dick riding these random ass authors how are you throwing away your morality over mid gay porn.
almost all these brown mcs are so vaguely brown that people can't even tell you which group they're meant to represent, not to mention how you can't point me towards a single story with a black main lead and y'all can go on and on about how Korean don't need to represent anyone but themselves but that falls flat when we see so many bls set in the USA and the leads are always white guys often blonde and blue eyed white guys. Do we seriously need to see more white gay media when that's already the majority? Hell these authors can barely represent their fellow Asians, why is the Philippines always this dark criminal country in manhwas and nothing more, and before y'all start yes there is corruption in the Philippines but that doesn't mean thats all it should be represented for in stories especially when people aren't going to actually say anything about the issue, Korean authors use the Philippines the why American shows use Mexico lmaoo
It's pretty clear that they just want to stay ignorant and don't want to give a shit about real life problems. They want to stay in their little fantasy and then get mad when someone bursts their bubble. I literally saw one user saying how they weren't racist before but majority of "comments" made them one and mind you the comments they were talking about clearly explained why that manhwa was racist and why the author was so insensitive so yeah, I see no hope for those racists and they won't care even if you go out of your way to spell out everything for them
They just don’t care, most of those people just want to see smut and don’t care how messed up it is. We see BL readers defending rape, abuse and pedo behaviour regularly…

ngl it all screams white supremacy,
but part of it also is people refuse to learn, some just really want to separate fantasy from reality that includes me lol

I thought racism could be the one exception
