christ were those cut marks on the bottom ?? 😭

depressed alt guy

theyre yummy bro please i need authors to.keep this.coming

alright then..

what is the problem with wanting representation？ if ur publically shaming and reacting so crassly to individuals with sh scars like this then i hope ur not claiming to pretend about mental health lol im not the weirdo here

Your comment called sh scars yummy, not “i find this good representation it makes me feel seen”, also if you think this is good representation for people that show off their sh scars to show they survived then yikes, enjoy man i won’t stop you

mental illness manifests in multiple ways and theyre not always spectacular presentations!! i think u also have incorrect ideas regarding sh, as not all people engaging in it are necessarily suicidal, but CAN be. but judging from ur initial reaction to sh im not surprised ur not well informed

yes both characters with scars are assholes but this is a smutty short yaoi manhwa its rare to see non toxic characters to begin with. what im advocating for is MORE presentation in general bc its so rare to see in fiction, so ofc id be excited to see any to start with. its these sort of shunning comments that can dissuade authors from writing abt it so yeah

idk about u but you are making a lot of assumptions based on the few words I’ve said, first of all, i’m not uninformed, I just don’t think calling scars ‘yummy’ is the kind of mental health advocacy you think it is.

also, i never said anything about “suicide” people who don’t cut anymore should be proud of that because it can be life threatening and they survived that. i don’t think we should accept toxic bl porn as a nuance representative for something as serious as this. his sh scars were nothing more than aesthetics, romanticization, or fetishizing, its never explained and never asked bout, and accepting scraps like this just for the appeal it’s not respectful for people who struggle with this not speak for all of them but this actually spread the wrong message.

yes, my first reaction was being shocked cause i was, it was clearly there just for the shock factor, not every reaction for stuff like this should be quiet, in the end, it’s cheap BL smut with a stalker bottom that clearly is struggling with mental illness that doesn’t get a good end and gets treated like shit.

Not all media with SH will be treated with respect but when it’s not don’t praise it.

In the end if you think its yummy and great and all so wonderful knock yourself out, you won’t change my mind, or how I feel about it. bl is to enjoy so like i said before, i can’t stop you.

i never stated this was a nuanced or positive representation, just it was a starting point. yes. im aware its not good at all but as someone who DOES have sh scars did it make me happy to see? yes also.

im not speaking for everyone who shs but personally it made me feel seen, and was highly accurate when the mc felt ashamed of his scars during the shower scene and was thinking up an excuse. this part reverberated with me most - it was real.

and yes i admit i couldve worded my first reply better, not saying “yummy”, which can mislead readers into thinking im fetishising it; instead, i was trying to make a positive comment in a nonserious way. if u look at the depressed alt emo guy comment for example, thats just an entire can of stereotypical worms, so i was trying to reduce a potentially sh malicious environment. im not a mental health activist by any means, i just like seeing sh for me myself and i.

idk why u said not every reaction abt sh should be quiet though, bc i hope ur aware that a real life person reading ur appalled comment about a fictional character COULD be hurt even if u didnt intend for it to. please do be quiet if its not gonna be a positive response, and irl, if u ever someone with scars, just dont comment on it i beg of u.

alright, i get that you can feel resonated with this i can’t stop that or say anything about it, it has nothing to do with me. i also appreciate that you can acknowledge and accept that you had a poor choice of words, i was more in shock with that than the character itself.

in the end, i stand with everything i said, we shouldn’t be quiet about SH being portrayed in that manner, especially when it’s purposely portrayed for aesthetics. also, you don’t need to beg me for anything ive never treated any of my friends with SH scars badly or judged them. that and these are two separate things. you don’t know me enough to beg for anything out of me. i respect people as people.

i will tho 100% criticize how shit like this is presented because it’s basically a background flavor. in the shower scene he was basically forced out of his clothes out of fear, shamed for his SH scars with a dirty look, and then the top went “it’s a mess but it suits him” ???? why should i have to react positively on that, my first comment was being shocked that the first moment we see his struggle with SH scars was when he wanted to jack off after being beaten by a guy who hated him, and then in the end he stick with the same guy.

bye, don’t bother responding. you like it i don’t it’s as simple as that.
