Just go man just go
Yeah no your right that makes sense
You just disregarded everything I said, didn't even read what I actually said like obviously what your saying is fine like people reading shit is fine but that's not even what I said like bruh.. go do debating bro you will learn something
(๑•ㅂ•)و✧ happy to provide further context / make sense out of things! i really like the novel so i wanted to provide some more elaboration on the MC’s thought processes based on it. jiwon is really paranoid & anxious and that bleeds into how he interacts with others and especially jungwoo a lot.
(for a mildly related note i ended up reading the entire thread before leaving my first comment and i do very much agree with you on the fetishisation rampant within this genre as well. want to make note of that because i don’t know why the other commenter is being so hostile over BL of all things but. ^^;;)
Yeah thanks for clarifying it really helps :D
I think if you want a bl that doesn't have this 'overused' real life issue you are better off reading western gay comics etc.
Unfortunately this is Korean so it isn't oversued its that it is actually the case and two people being happy and open to everyone about their relationship is just not realistic and most authors write things based of the experience of their country.
Yeah I've seen it used so many times but just because it is used doesn't mean it is written properly it's like slapping a girl and claims they are a feminist in a book without actually properly describing what a feminist is, okay this analogy kinda shit but there's prob tons better you can find. I read more manga and it has like so many kind of stuff about being queer and homophobia and society and shit and they are done pretty well. I haven't read this is a while so yah me probably when reading it didn't think they were portraying well maybe? Or the way they formatted it like created it with the artist was very generic like not in depth I guess? Overused anyways that's the word, doesn't have any artistic creativity. Look I like reading about that stuff obviously but like a lot Korean artists/ artstyles that are popular and very generic, and they stick to one format which is why is why it is generic/ overused that's how I saw it at least, because a comic is both art and like words right but art is the main thing. Someone said the novel portrayed this very well which is nice, but personally and probably objectively this manhwa doesn't cut the line for like showing that fear of society judgement very well, like it's mid not like amazing. I haven't read the rest so maybe they did it better maybe, maybe not.
Also western comics have a lot of book about homophobia, and dare I say, a lot of it is written more realistically and in depth, because of the fact that the main people who write it are queer, while Asian BL, usually are not written well because people are not informed or educated, and also blame the publishers for being so old fashioned and not letting the creators get their work out. This as well the publishers in Western countries are very much up to date usually because they are more accepting of queer people way before most Asian countries, so those queer books which are realistic get published.
Also maybe the reason I didn't like this series is because one is a twink and the other a big ass muscle guy (stereotypes again sigh...), so yes I do and I will read western and Asian comics because I decide what I read and I will read Asian ones because I do like the art and stories, and the western ones because many of them are more realistic and can definitely give you more insight on a gay person's life and the homophobia they face, rather than most of Asian comics.
People living in western countries still face homophobia btw... Sure the laws are up to date and more accepting now and more awareness has been raised and that is amazing but again there are still conservatives and homophobic people...
bye this shit is so ass cause why is it always about "but were both guys!.." stfu
