god I wish they were a switch couple haha ;;; it would fit them so well! also I feel like...

Yall just say this same sht every time there’s a masculine bottom or feminine top, go away and let us enjoy this dynamic specifically

How am I taking away your fun with this dynamic (which is like over 99% of all BL Media) by saying that they’d make a nice switch couple? You act like the strict division of top and bottom is the rarest piece of genre while switch couples are barely non existent even tho, and sorry for bursting your bubble, it’s very NORMAL to switch. You’re fetishizing babe.

Also, I didn’t say that either one of them is more masculine or feminine - I based my opinion purely on their dynamic and how the two of them interact with each other. That’s on you for believing in wrong and toxic gender roles. Grow up man.

I am a switch truther (SaYe manhua FTW, read if you haven't). But in this story, this dynamic (feminine top x masc bottom) suits the CP so well. Let those that enjoy this rep have it like @mlkshk said, since it is rare.
Maybe you really wanna see them switch, that's valid. But most of the time when people call for switch it's usually because they wanna see their same cliche masc top femme bottom dynamic. So people are gonna be wary/suspicious of ur comment.
You are right abt the fan made translations being so much better. I wish they continued, it had a lot of charm

I don’t get how I am taking away their “joy” in reading this just because I stated my opinion tho? And sorry but this kind of dynamic is surely not rare at all - especially since “feminine” tops or whatever people call it now are getting more and more popular these days.

And I can say the same to you as well: you want them to be strictly top/bottom because the top in this one is more feminine, which is why he should stay “dominant”. It makes NO sense at all and isn’t even an argument for this being strictly top/bottom which btw stems from almost the same toxic believe that most female readers fetishize gay men by reading yaoi media.

Not hating btw, just confused by y’all being so offended by me saying that they’d make a nice switch couple, also original answer literally insulted me for no reason at all and you only felt the need to tell me/make me believe my comment will make others feel “wary” lol. this is a bit ridiculous

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK QUEEN/KING

I agree, I think they'd make a banger switch couple! I wish more BLs featured switching in general, regardless of who's more dominant or feminine or whatever. The whole 'only one person can top' thing gets sooo old. Like... it's not like the 'bottom' lost his schlong or something ffs. And I'm gonna miss Kihoon calling Yeon his litto one

Nah you are right, you are expressing your preference and no one should insult you for that.

But I do wanna bring up the point that gay men read yaoi too and in real life some of them prefer fixed top bottom positions.

Wanted to bring this up cuz I remember getting bashed on a forum by gay men a few years ago by making the same point that you are made. I was in the ThaiBL fandom at the time and was frustrated by the lack of switch pairings and also the fetishization of fixed positions in gay relationships. I made a post on the subreddit on this. OMG, the way the gay men came after me. I wasn't expecting it. They were like, 'we have our preferences as well and there's nothing wrong with wanting fixed positions. Gtfo'.

And I thought bout it and realized that their POV is indeed valid. We can absolutely call our problematic stuff in media, but we gotta be careful labelling some stuff as problematic because some people (like femme gay men who wanna read and fantasize about masc men sweeping them away) are genuinely not being fetishizing in their preferences when they wanna see their fixed positions.

I’m sorry that you had a bad experience while trying to voice your opinion - which isn’t even a strong/problematic one at all (like the ppl insulting you act like you were wishing death upon someone lol)

But I’m also sorry to break it to you; this is the problem with whenever you only think in extremes or normalize hive mind behavioral/biased thinking. (“Getting bashed by the gay men (in a forum)” and then using this example to POSSIBLY describe a whole community is also quite … uh problematic. If I asked my gay male friends they’d all wish for a better representation of gay BL as well, such as switching, but it’s not an argument for me to use to prove my point. You feel me?.)

I also don’t believe that most people are fetishizers just because they prefer a fixed position. I prefer to only bottom as well because I like it AND I wouldn’t describe myself as a feminine man. But them saying “let us enjoy this specific dynamic” + stemming this on feminine top and masculine bottom is definitely fetishizing to a certain level and they’re fucking rude about it which ticks me off.

I kinda realized tho that you are talking about another issue here / which is the switching thing itself and not the fact that switching is linked to certain character traits …

Switching or not, it’s totally fine to prefer one or the other. I’m 100% fine with pure tops/bottoms. But I’m not fine with ppl who believe a couple should be fixed into one dynamic because of (…) because that’s just dumb.

Also I hope I don’t sound rude/mean towards you, I definitely enjoy having this discussion with you, but I do believe that we are missing each others point haha

No, no, you don't sound rude at all! You gave me a lot to think about. Thankyou for your insights

same tho! I’ll definitely be more careful about my wording as well. :’)

I thought I replied to this but I think mangago didn’t save it? But again, I totally agree with you it gets SO old. Switching is regardless of any character traits!

Also I checked the raws and he actually calls himself “hyungnim”!!! We got robbed of such a cute dynamic TT

This really did not need to be a whole long argument over someone's opinion. I personally don't like switch couples and pray these 2 never switch, but I hardly see any switch so I understand why it's something OP would want to see. Switch couples are rarer than the fem top, masc bottom dynamic, so it's definitely not wrong to want to see more. No need to attack someone for their opinion, especially when it's very likely the story is not gonna turn out that way based on this one person's comment on an illegal website. Everyone needs to chill.

Shut your dirty mouth loser! Search the switch tag if u whant that

I understand you, fo sho. I think some people need to realize a lot of their preferences for sex positions come from some internalized hetero stigma (fem bottom x masculine top) or ani-hetero stigma (masculine bottom x feminine top). They don’t list reasonable reasons as to why they don’t want them to switch outside of why they believe certain hetero aspects of the characters should be displayed a certain way. I personally don’t care if they’d switch or not, but I still think it’d be cute to see and wouldn’t mind it at all. Especially with how MC flushes and gets emotional so easily and how ML can be assertive and seductive. That’d make for a good switch in sexual dynamic, imo.
