Or a hatred for women in general...I do agree that there needs to be a study on this.
In a country with lots of huge fans of patriarchy and gender inequality as Korea ofc they're all having daddy issues lol. I also believe the terms of being "transferred" is actually a metaphor of escaping the reality, where they can live in a world where they finally can be loved and being seen as the most important human ever in their life by the males (dad and brother) bc irl they don't, male usually looking down on them.
ig that makes sense, but i was kinda nudging more towards s freudian slip cause they always manage to demonize female characters in these webtoons (despite that already happening irl) so their patriarchal escapism isnt about that, just about themselves. its giving pick me:( also like BIG freudian slip cause i found a webtoon like this where shes neglected in the family but then she goes on male family members heart stealing spree EXCEPT that the endgame is actually her father like......i felt so sick when i read the spoilers
the korean webtoon obsession of dead/bad mother, evil sister, and MC cozying up to multiple brothers, father (in this case 2 dads!!), and sometimes sons need to be studied cause i feel like this is stemming for a deep seated daddy issue coping mechanism or something hahaha
