Holy shit hard agree to everything you said. Some of these comments make we wonder if Jinx is a lot of these people’s first toxic bl or something.
Agreed. And unfortunately, most aren't even old enough to read this.
The comment section of an older yaoi I'm reading is now being FLOODED with people complaining about rape and what-not. Like 3-5 years ago, no one said or did anything and just said hoe "hot" and "spicy" the story was.
These folks are making difficult to now find some genuine conversations to join.
I think it’s because Jinx is literally one of, if not THE, most popular BLs out right now. It’s getting a lot of exposure and it’s probably the first people are seeing SA so violently in a HUGE main stream BL. I’ve been reading BL and yaoi for OVER 10 years now. TRUST ME when I say people have been complaining about SA since the dawn of BL. Jinx is not special at all. If it happens ONCE in a manga/manhwa, NO MATTER how old, you’ll find people complaining about it. The difference is this audience is HUGE and a majority haven’t read anything more fűcked up, like Dark Fall or Roses and Champagne. This audience came from the BJ Alex fanbase so most were expecting something like that. With a rocky top but not a straight abusive one, and definitely NOT all the SA in this one.
That's fair.
It's still okay to have an opinion even if you didn't like it though. Say I don't like the Saw movies, am I not allowed to express that just because there's someone who likes it?
It tempts me to drop titles far of worse and disturbing than Jinx.
They are not as advertised as Jinx though.
Left you a comment but it got erased? Anyway, I wanted to let you know I completely agree.
Yeah, you can totally have an opinion. No one's saying you can't. The issue with wokefujoshis isn't just "not liking" something..it's when they start acting like their dislike means the thing is morally wrong and that everyone else has to hate it too. Saying "I don't like Saw" is different from saying "people who watch Saw are awful and it should be banned"
I agree with you, and add another point about the conflict between the popularity of the webtoon due to its attractive art style and the dissatisfaction with the writing quality compared to the artwork.
Many readers, both new and experienced in the yaoi genre, are lured in by the captivating art but feel let down by the story's weak writing. As a result, readers are left confused, frustrated, and constantly voicing their discontent, leading to a wave of negative comments and reactions.
I WHOLEHEARTEDLY stand by this. The author released such a compelling story for BJ Alex, and with the hype SHE MADE for Jinx, the let down was immense for many. She could have easily made the story more interesting by giving Jinx a unique story but instead decided to play on overused troupes, and not even GOOD overused troupes. The concept was there for Jinx, but it felt like author-nim wasn’t really interested in making a compelling and emotional story for it.
I've literally never seen so many people suddenly care about SA in yaoi until Jinx came out. like... if anything, Jinx is pretty lukewarm compared to half the stuff that's been around for years....People acting like it's the first time problematic tropes have existed in BL is wild. At the end of the day just read whatever you want!! No one's forcing you to like or approve of every story
wokefujoshis are the most annoying breed because they can't just dislike something and move on..they have to moral-police everyone else's reading list.. Like omg read whatever tf you wanna read
