Huh?
Huh what? If you don't know, on x kyou (creator of shutline) made a tweet implying the creator of flashlight of plagiarism. And yangm, the creator of flashlight, posted her long defense on postype here https://x.com/Yangma77777/status/1947618061324063055?t=1WcxIInoIJzAjXUjeg71aQ&s=19
Wow I wasn’t even aware that was going on. While I do see similarities between the characters, I haven’t read enough of shutline to say whether or not this is plagiarism.
There's a pdf attached on the postype explaining the accusations. And it doesn't even make sense tbh
it really doesn't. the characters are not similar at ALL. you'd have to be grade a moron to think otherwise. does she think she owns the blond top x black haired bottom trope? or does she think she owns the sexually confident bottom trope? it pisses me off so much that aron's original design was changed bc of this bullshit accusation because i really liked his old look. lost all respect for shutline's author after her bullshit ass accusations.
And it's happening since the beginning the author of flashlight released her manhwa like, she already targeted her even from the beginning, it's crazy seriously. Even kyou fans said the atmosphere is similar, like what??? American atmosphere??? American setting isn't exclusive only for her lmao
OH YOURE KIDDING ME?! they’re literally nothing alike.. just a big American blond top and his buff asian bottom???? I love Kyou’s work dearly, but that’s an L ass take
I should’ve clarified, but the only similarities is that the tops are blond American men and the bottoms are buff Asian men.. the stories are COMPLETELY different. Ones about a cop and a mechanic from the streets while the other is about a guy with daddy issues that can sing???
Still dont know the reason why kyou is so convinced this copying Shutline to the point of intimidation towards the creator istg what is she thinking
