you're so right, media literacy is dead on a lot of parts of this website. treating fiction as if it's reality, people acting like they're forced to read things they don't like i miss when more people had the mindset of "don't like, don't read". writers can portray things in fiction without endorsing them in real life.. i think a lot of people getting angry are younger and don't understand that (or they just enjoy being angry, i guess)
I think so too that more young readers here dont know what genre of books they read here.
Sorry I pressed dislike by mistake (undislike button whereeee)
This phrase, resume everything perfectly, “Ah, see I know I am right and all of you are liking the wrong thing and I am liking the correct thing.”
I'm tired of saying that if you read a story where the ML is a demon, do not expect him to behave like an angel and condemn everyone who likes him...
Or maybe they just wonder why everyone saying this ML is a green flag. They're not talking to u - the one who knows this shit is toxic but still like it anyway, so using "fiction vs reality" reason is not valid. Fiction is always based on something in reality, cause if not, we won't understand shit. Imagine I read the most fucked up stories ever (for example: ero guro type of shit), then I say, "Oh, it's just fiction. I like it, but I'm totally not mentally ill or shit." I don't think people would think I have a normal sense. However, I do understand what you're trying to say. I just want to give another perspective about the people who dislike it because MANY of them are confused why they did not realize it was toxic, and why this story is reviewed as a fluffy, healthy one.
I love reading the comment section just like the story itself . Unfortunately people can’t seem to separate reality from fiction, that is why there is this fiction genre in books or films to create something unimaginable or out of this world scenarios. I a reader could comprehend that some of the social norms, etiquette, personality or attitudes in the stories could differ in reality People are free to comment from what they like or dislike but I just observed that people here who dislikes a certain character would aggressively impose it to others to collectively satisfy their greed for attention. To say to themselves “Ah see I know I am right and all of you are liking the wrong thing and I am liking the correct thing”. I just think they dont actually hate the story itself because of the character they just hate that the rest of us enjoyed the story and they cant relate to us.
