i kinda agree with you, I don’t understand how it’s so popular? i mean, the plot is somewhat interesting I guess, the art is OK to me (but that’s only my opinion!) and the only thing that everyone is really talking about it zhenya being extremely toxic and comparing him to caesar. Also the occasional hetero scenes really throw me off. But it’s everyone’s own opinion of course !

Right. I feel like people who like this stuff have gone unhinged, as well as the author. This is not just an opinion here. What has humanity come to.

You are judging people for their liking and someone judging you for reading BL and thinking it's the end of humanity. It all comes around. Lol.

It’s ok to be LGBTQ, but is it ok to love and admire sinful things, is being a killing machine cute? I would understand it if it was realistic and a phenomenal depictions of emotions, struggles, and growth. However, this story is just a fetish. Not a real story of love.

The sinful things you are talking about—can you elaborate on them more? Because lgbtq is still seen as taboo or sin by many, Films such as "Avengers" have lots of so-called killing machines. And people loved it. So people who love those films are also sinful? 

As you said, people are reading this for their fetishes, and I think there is nothing wrong with liking this kind of story as long as it doesn't harm anyone in the real world.

I believe OP is talking about murder, abuse and all that of zhenya’s long list of things he’s done and not the fact that this is a piece of LGBTQIA+ media. I really agree with you though, liking dark romance and toxic stories isn’t as frowned upon as liking true crime, action movies where people are killed - and comparing this to peoples’ character is wrong as well.

I think OP meant that people who just blindly consume this kind of media and just hype it the way this webtoon is hyped feed into the problem of rape, abuse and red flags being romanticized and normalized in the BL/manga community. I enjoy my fair share of manga in this genre as well but I do think it’s a problem how it’s always the same of very toxic and abusive tops just getting their way and in the end, being forgiven with barely and redemption!

Still, it’s important to keep this as a fantasy and the right people can differentiate between fiction and reality as you said!

Thanks for helping! That’s exactly what I meant! I am just trying to voice that people are trying to romanticize killing and such. I think that brings an impact in someone’s cognitive ability. I have seen people being unhinged and it wasn’t just in a fictional way, thinking it’s fictional. I am just scared. People can read these and they can also at the same time recognize that the characters are toxic and still like them, but I think romanticizing killing and abuse is too far, almost seems inhuman.

Love you for this tho, kind human!
