… why would it be icky though? i’m genuinely confused… also isn’t objecting to the phrase being in this particular manhwa rooted in homophobia…? which is bad? that’s like saying you feel icky about the phrase ‘jesus christ’ in bl manhwa too even when that’s just a phrase used to express exasperation or shock….

how is objecting to it rooted in homophobia literally what… how did we even reach this conclusion.. it’s an 18+ comic regardless of its relationship focus and people can feel uncomfy with that very old saying being thrown in there casually and see it as disrespectful, and the difference is u don’t hear muslim people using that phrase so….

Because it really isn't that deep and it's a common (albeit outdated) phrase. There's even a version with Moses. LGBTQ ideologies are either condemed or simply don't align with Islamic ideologies.
It's like you enjoy homosexuality, sodomy, and (judging by some people's reading lists) rape, but you draw the line in your religion at this phrase?

it could be common wherever ur from but it comes from a place of mockery and isn’t used and is seen as disrespectful by muslims, respecting and defending your religion from being disrespected by non-muslims ≠ committing a sin.. sinning is a personal matter that doesn’t involve other people in this context.. so I don’t get why that’s being brought into the situation like it’s somehow relevant but anything to get ur point going i guess!

You’re twisting words like a pro, but your logic’s all over the place. Sin is personal? Cool, then why you out here defending a religion you clearly don’t follow? That’s not faith—it’s selective rage. You say the phrase is disrespectful, yet you’re chill with adult content that totally contradicts the values you “defend.” Hypocrisy much? Nobody’s roasting your religion just for existing. We’re calling out your “pick and choose what matters” game. Either you respect it all or stop flexing like it’s your shield.
This ain’t about “thinking caps.” It’s about basic consistency. You’re failing hard.

okay since my logic is “all over the place” let me dumb it down for u so u can try and understand it from a different point of view that doesn’t match yours:
ur confusing imperfections with absence of belief.. just because someone sins or struggles with certain values doesn’t mean they’re a non-believer
this was obviously mentioned because replies kept brining up how liking sodomy etc (considered a “sin” therefore “lack of faith”) takes away the right to feel icked about a certain comment made by someone who is considered an outsider to the religion, so a personal matter between u and ur own god takes away the right for u to feel a certain way about a comment made from an outsider who isn’t familiar/part of ur religion…. right….
moral of the story is if a certain person from a religious group felt a certain way about a comment/saying directed towards THEIR religion i believe it isn’t ur place to comment on any shit and proceed with ur day :)

Aww, thanks for “dumbing it down” for us, professor. Super helpful. All that emotional gymnastics over a proverb—not a slur, not blasphemy, not even shade. Just… a proverb. Found in multiple languages, used casually, meant nothing deep. But somehow you turned it into a theological emergency.
Imagine being so fragile your faith crumbles at the sight of a proverb in a comic. Honestly, if a single sentence in a comic shakes an entire group of ppl's worldview, that’s not conviction... that’s insecurity with a side of drama. Nobody spat on their holy book, sweety. It's just a Proverb.

ofc pookie! looks like all my efforts worked and it got through ur skull <33 so now we move to it being “emotional gymnastics” :0 a single sentence aka a proverb that is used everywhere but in muslim countries was pulled out of the dust and used in a mature comic how dare i comment on that matter when fujidanshi thinks otherwise! i must let the ex-muslim tell me how to feel!

u read all my replies and got out with absolutely nothing what more do u want me to say u obviously don’t wanna get it so now what? is me feeling a certain way about an idiom irritating you that bad? why do u even gaf im actually confused and ur lame af and a dumbass for thinking it’s the boxer everything is in ur face but it somehow managed to fly over ur big ass head
god forbid someone feels icky about a certain sentence u got all the yaoi shooters out w “why u reading pay gorn while religious” i promise YOU it ain’t the same thing
