Literallyyyy, ive read hate mate and i loveddd it cause it was so raw and real and was focused on telling a story not a formulaic trope mix to sell sex to goons (not that im not a reader like that lmao but still), so i know to expect a STORY from this, and that theres no black and white villains between them (other than jihos parents they can die), and you can understand them both, but people here are too used to black and white stories and siding with one character stubbornly, and also ive read like 600 comics here now and a shitton of tops are manipulative and abusive and the sex is less than consensual and people are drooling for those tops in comments but somehow have their pitchforks against jiho and its breaking my heart and i dont get ittttt.
Like looking at it that way yes dealing with someone elses mental health issues isnt your responsibility, but i know if i were him i wouldnt be able to turn away someone i know is in that state either, ESPECIALLY if its the person i love as much as i pretend I don’t, my conscience and heart wouldnt let me say go deal with shit yourself, as long as i could do something about it. So i cant get someone criticizing yujun for not being a stone cold ass and “being weak” and giving in,
And then i didnt criticize jiho for leaving that way (it was out of his hands anyway) and lets not pretend calling him a slut for being with someone else when he wasnt with yujun isnt misogynistic, its giving “a girl should be a virgin before meeting future husband” even tho there was no foreseeable future in which they would meet again……. Same thought process. But also it wasn’t like he was out there enjoying himself being with that guy, that relationship was literally another form of self harm cause his self esteem was THAT low…..
but especially now my brain is breaking from the idea to call him manipulative for the state he’s in. Like how is someones thought process to think “he harmed himself for the attention” LIKE BITCH EVEN IF THATS TRUE IF HIS MENTAL STATE IS BAD ENOUGH THAT HED GO TO THOSE LENGTHS FOR ATTENTION THEN SHOULDNT YOU THINK HES ESPECIALLY IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP EITHER WAY????? I wanna pull my hair out
THISSS UR SO RIGHT also i noticed that in bl in general bottoms are treated more harshly than tops. like tops can be forgiven rape and abuse but the moment a bottom does something wrong, they get a worse treatment than the tops ever get. they also ALWAYS get slut shamed but no one gives a fuck when tops fuck other guys
and if i say misogyny got something to do with it..
You’re right. It’s absolutely misogyny the way tops are seen as more of a ‘man’ and bottoms as ‘feminine’ some fujos project badly and it’s evident in this comment section
u people are fucking insane. first u called jiho a slut and a whore cause he slept with that other guy when he was at his lowest and now you're saying he cut himself for yujun's attention? and you're even hating on yujun too, calling him weak, cause he's not a fucking asshole and he didn't leave the person he loves when he saw how unwell jiho was at that moment? just stick to your smut filled manhwas with repetitive plots if u can't handle complex and mentally ill characters then
