i don't even read this manga, but i saw your comment on the homepage and had to like it. i have had these exact same thoughts and arguments with people on another manhwa about a sex worker character. these people don't seem to understand that a lot of folks don't consider sex work cheating. if you do that's your prerogative, but why are you projecting onto two fictional characters in a healthy relationship? just because you feel uncomfortable with the idea of a SW continuing their work even when they're in a relationship doesn't mean it is objectively cheating. these are of course the same people who would not like it if the plot was that a character changed their personality to fit into their LI's tastes, but somehow it's okay to change someone's job just because you don't like it? wtf if a simple job is what's stopping you from truly loving someone then maybe you don't really love that person to begin with. you ate btw !
Literally this. I shouldnt have read past this comment now my mood was ruined too. Why are other people saying theyre mad Seo can't quit being an AV actor when it's his fucking job, we literally had like an entire arc where they got past this whole thing of being jealous of Seo's AV partners and how they're moving forward with it. People need to stop forcing the idea of Seo quitting just because they themselves are uncomfortable dating AV actors this story isnt about you. This is like a one in a million story that actually tries to not be heteronormative and yall wanna force it back into the cookie cutter bl please
I find it stupid when readers sometimes would try to put their values on fictional characters forgetting these stories has plots and concepts. It's the main reason why i try not to read the comment section because it most of the time ruin my mood.
This chapter is definitely sweet. How Natori shows he really does love Seo. How much he accepts Seo as who he is and what he do. And same as Seo. How thankful he is that Natori did not just not judged him with his work but fully accepted and loved him. It's sad people can't see it.
FUCKING THANK YOU. just projecting their hypocritical views onto other’s relationships like huh??
Oh my god I was enjoying the story so much and was expecting good comments because of the way the matters in the manga were being resolved but my god, the way my mood soured while reading these. Maybe I just shouldn't open comment sections
you really shouldn't. i feel like the comments here have gotten MUCH worse after the Great Comment Section Ban and then the subsequent popularity of mgg on tikt0k + twt. too many children are reading these and leaving comments that are idiotic and uniformed. i refuse to believe the people talking about sex workers and relationships with them in this way are adults, the thought is depressing.
ugh honestly i try to tell myself this a lot that most of these are teens and preteens who dont have much lived experience or can see nuance in actual relationships and therefore only think in terms of what they think relationships are *supposed to be like* and try not to judge but I'm also kinda peeved that in the past few years it's clear there's a looot more much younger people here than before to the point where they are the vast majority and it lowkey disturbs me seeing 12 year olds here reading softcore pornography and having these discussions that their brains cant even begin to comprehend (though it could be I just got older haha)
Then again maybe thats part of life, and we should let teens be cringe and do their thing as they should be. I had dumb takes that age too tbh just not for yaoi lol. I feel so old on this website even tho Im still in my 20s.. where do the older fujoshi even congregate anymore???? Aarinfantasy forums have been ghosttowns since the mid 2010s!!! (ooof now i feel even older lol)
it does feel like the older i get the more annoyed i become with some of the shit younger people say on this site, but then i realize i am essentially becoming the boomers i used to hate i can only hope the children here end up growing out of these toxic ways of thinking. i know i was a wholly different person when i was 12-13 than i am now, and thank god, but not everyone changes for the better.
also, not aarinfantasy?? it feels like ages since i last heard that name. i feel ancient now, i'm gonna go take a nap
the amount of people here acting like pure hypocrites is astonishing and ruined my good time of reading a wholesome chapter. You guys liked the beginning of the story obviously and stuck around about a "normal" salaryman who falls for a "seductive" sex positive and unashamed porn actor yet you cannot stand the fact that it's not following some stupid heteronormative formula where he needs to be "fixed" by leaving that same lifestyle that made him as a character appealing to you in the beginning. I don't get it. Isn't his lack of shame and that he's actually proud of his work and takes it seriously part of his characterization? Suddenly he needs to quit what made him an interesting character for him to be a "good" partner? Then why would the story be about a porn actor in the first place? What kind of loving partner would Natori be if he only dated him expecting he would be "fixed" or "changed" in his beliefs for them to be together?
This is the problem with romance stories nowadays, it's been centuries and audiences still expect to follow the stale formula of "woman surrogate character meets man with flaws -> woman surrogate character fixes man's flaws through the power of luv -> marriage and children and heteronormative domestic idea of happiness" It's boring and basically an illusion.
This isn't even a hetero romance yet our heteronormative illusions of what happiness is in life and relationships are still stifling people. Porn actors are real people with real lives and concerns who do not think of acting in porn as being intimate with a partner they care about (because it isn't the same), and you do not get to read a story (illegally) where the job is romanticized only to then wish it could get fixed away because your own ideas of happiness, monogamy and relationships clash with it. You are reading softcore porn illegally on a website. Clearly porn is a huge part of your lives. Stop being hypocrites and acting like the sex industry is beneath you when you are directly engaging with it.
I can't believe I was in such a fluffy and happy mood reading this chapter only to find The Pilgrim Brigade TM in the comments acting like we live in the 1900s. Ugh
