I don't understand this manga trend of gay men falling in love with women! they don't even try to make it plausible.

    yea its a bit weird.. its almost like straight women fetishize gay men or something (that was me being ironic lol) but anyways at first I thought he was just a straight guy that did drag, cuz yes, there are straight men who do drag but no, hes gay???? I was so confused but I think with this situation, he just fell for her soul? like who she is rather than paying attention to her gender. I hope its that rather than oh she turned me "straight"

    With all that sumt I doubt her soul is the main attraction .

    Wait but this is just like how in gay mangas someone who was straight fell in love with the same gender .. if you read further this is exploring the lengths of sexuality.. it doesn’t fetishize at all

    There is such a thing where people think they're only gay, but can be bi, pan, etc. Like, they can love the same or different genders.

    Hoe April 20, 2021 3:39 pm

    As if something called being bisexual doesn’t exist but ok whatever floats your boat I guess

    People chill, They obviously portraying him mainly as gay. It's a thing in manga world to have the unattainable or It's like "I'm only gay for you". We are fully aware bisexuality exists.

    oof didnt think my comment would cause such distress. I never meant to say this fetishize anything, I was just talking about how some straight women fetishize gay men, I mean the BL community is very huge for a reason. but even then in this story it did imply he was gay, I mean the ML said so himself. ofc he could be bi or pan or yes in situations where sexuality is very fluid, I mean ive heard stories where gay men fall for a woman or a lesbian fell for a man. I know its possible, sexuality is so complex. anyways I think we can all agree sexuality comes in varies forms and is sometimes isn't a permanent thing, people are always changing and thats ok

    Bc it has happened in real life? I don't care if this was 4 years ago, this comment is so close minded and bigoted. There are gay men and lesbians IRL who have fallen in love with the opposite gender. Sexuality is complicated and it's not black and white. Ya'll be sounding like conservative boomers with this regressive thinking

    Damn, it’s like you didn’t even read the whole thread. Let’s just say you were talking to me specifically, I basically apologize and agreed with them and you would understand OG commenter and I’s opinion and skepticism if u actually read the whole thread. And that we know sexuality can be fluid. With this being literally four years ago, I would assume that you can actually read the whole thread and not add a pointless comment .Anyways there is a trend, there’s has been a handful of reincarnation stories where a female protagonist would fall in BL world, and then the male lead who was “gay” or I guess you could say pan or bi whatever ends up falling for the female lead. Which is weird for some people because you could’ve just made it a regular straight story. There can be stories that explore sexuality more, I just think this story didn’t start off well and how it was trying to portray that and that’s with some other stories too

    I never replied to you. You assumed I replied to you, insulted me for no reason, don't you think you're taking my reply WAY too personally lolll. You also just contradicted yourself. If a male lead was bi and pan then what's wrong with them falling for the female lead?? I have seen WAY more stories of men reincarnating in BL worlds compared to women, the reverse is so few that it shouldn't even be considered a trend.

    it's also incredibly biphobic to say that a man and woman being a couple automatically makes it a "straight" story. No, just bc the male lead falls in love with a woman doesn't make him any less gay or bisexual. Esp when it comes to this manga which delves into this topic better than 99% of both GL and BL stories.

    I disagree that it didn't start off well. Sexuality is often unexplainable, it just happens, you feel stuff, and that's it. That's why some people reject labels and prefer not to pick one sexuality.

    I read the whole thread, and Meme still sounded close-minded and lowkey bigoted, they only apologized bc ppl disagreed with them it's so obvious lol

    Goddamn u are sensitive, jusy bc u think meme didn’t understand fully. People are allowed to be skeptical, as long as they understand after and we’re still respectful. Who cares if you didn’t reply to me? It’s a public thread, I also said in my comment if you did reply to me, this was my reply.

    I don’t know what you mean that you didn’t see it trend, bc it absolutely did. I see quite a lot, if u want. I can even drop a few names but it’s a lot and honestly u can do your own research. Also, just because you think the story is peak, doesnt mean everyone has to.

    Omgggg is incredibly “biphobic”, pissing me off so bad. It’s like you put words into my mouth. I even quoted “straight” and you know what I mean. At this point Youre trying to be woke but Youre being too much

    But what would I expect from someone trying to instigate 4 years ago, over sumn that has been resolved
