Yeah your exactly right-- and there's also those who believes that a "Straight" guy always has to have the role of protecting the girls-- while the girls all passive and weak-- it's ridiculous-- (obviously not all people's mindset is like that) but like frick we live in the 21st century-- get with the programme!
Exactly! I just ship the two guys and the two girls because right now, they have a good dynamic of friendship and they go way back. You know, with Nari approaching Haesol, and then the other guy knowing how the ml reacts to certain situations (I forgot the names). It's more of like my appreciation for the childhood best friends trope. If the situations were reversed, Let's say Haesol approaching the ml or the ml approaching the fl, then I'd totally ship them because of the friendship dyanmic they'll have, not because the ml looks like a feminine person that'll go well with the masuline best friend (〜￣△￣)〜
i read all genres including bl, yuri, shoujo etc. and i have no problems with people shipping two guys in straight manga but man i hate it when it's only because the guy is feminine. it's because y'all make it seem like shy, cute guys can't be straight that they feel like showing their vulnerable side will make them unlikable and try too hard to act overly masculine. gender stereotypes are fucked up
