unfortunately, it's a common troupe in bl works
I really hate it. The number of BL using this trope is way too high.
It’s fucking disturbing
what makes it worse is when one of the characters/both acknowledge the situation is sus but go along with it anyway
like that one scene in dawn of the dragon where the CEO guy gets amnesia and he literally says something along the lines of " It feels like I'm more of a guardian than a spouse to this guy" referring to his relationship with the dragon
that completely caught me off guard
Yeah it’s called “lamp shading” when then an author or creator does this. It’s “subtle” acknowledgment of an issue or unsavory situation rather than full gaslighting their audience. I actually didn’t read Dawn of the Dragon for this reason, I will NEVER understand the logic of writing this type of plot even if fiction. What is attractive about becoming sexually involved with someone you see as a fucking child or rearing responsibility? It’s not exclusive to BL, but this genre has a plethora of disturbing issues that don’t help perpetuate dangerous stereotypes about gay men being predators, pedophiles, and perverts all for the sake of predominantly straight women to get off on. And I just read the comments section before starting to read this WEBTOON out of boredom and I’m glad I did before reading this mess.
it’s sick how common it is Idk why these writers think their work is ok it’s like their sick in the head with these type of plots
woah, the concept of 'lamp shading' is
he raised him…
