Sorry to be this person but

lol i saw this type of comment a lot on Smyrna and Capri as well

EXACTLY!!

Frfr, they don't like seeing diversity here

Or you know, there are ppl (i.e. myself) who wanna see almost every single couple switch cause it resonates with them and there's most definitely a severe lack of it. As long as we're respectful abt it and not annoyingly bash the existing dynamics, what's the issue with some wishful commenting?

The thing is, not every comment that voiced out they want switch are as respectful as you said. Another issue is, this is already an unconventional dynamic, the bottom has the same traits as those older corporate tops everyone here so used to already. The story is supposed to be a refreshing, plot focused and slow burn but people just want the same old thing, smut focused plot with short younger bottoms and older taller tops dynamic, while being super annoying and shitty about it. Also, have you ever seen anyone commenting "wish they were switch couple" under stories like Dangerous Convenient store?

Even if it's not to my preference, I don't care about what anybody comments, as long as we acknowledge when something we want fits the plot/characters or it's just our personal wishful thinking and don't harass other over it. They can be annoying if they minimize a story to a couple's sex positions or if they try to paint a preference as the only "correct" route, otherwise I don't think it's that deep.
I do agree that this specific dynamic is less common and just overall very intriguing so it wouldn't be my first thought to wish that they switch in bed at this point. We've got alot more to see of their personalities, their motivations, their limits etc.
Also on your last point, it might not be alot, but I definitely have seen comments (heck, I've made them myself too) abt how I'd like tough, serious, burly guys to be on the receiving end in one way or another. For me and for many others, switch/vers couples (which can have be part of many different dynamics) is more abt feeling safe enough to explore intimacy and sexuality beyond imposed social norms, that's why we might see us asking for it in every manga.
But yes, as I said, it's got to be done respectfully .

Yeah then I’m not referring to you. Its just that usually these people don’t comment this type of stuff for manhwas with dom top/sub bottom. Like I said, im not against switching but I notice these comments only appear when the bottom or top aren’t their usual dynamic which to me just gives the vibe they just want to go back to the same old boring roles. Ofc its not everybody, but a lot

I get what you’re saying about your own preferences and experiences, and that’s totally valid. But my point isn’t about you specifically or why you like switch couples though, I’m talking about the broader pattern in fandom. Whenever a story breaks away from the usual tall top + short bottom setup, a noticeable number of people immediately demand a switch. That doesn’t happen nearly as much with conventional pairings (and you know it too), it shows a double standard that stories trying something different aren’t “right”.
Even when those reactions or "wishful thinking" are respectful, they can make works with unconventional dynamics feel under appreciated and might even discourage authors from trying something different. THIS is what I meant to say to you.

I understand your point, but I think you're banding together way too many people and the way they consume/process a story as an audience to simply say "anything that doesn't appreciate the story exactly as is and has nothing further to say, even respectfully, it's a disservice and demeans the story". So, let's agree to disagree. :)

they're not, they're really not. any story with a more masculine/"top"-adjacent bottom WILL ALWAYS have a "wish they'd switch" type comment. just go to any story with masculine bottom and read the comments. you WILL find someone asking for switching. it's because a lot of readers are het women (and a lot of young girls actually) and they *can't* bring themselves to think out of their heternormative idea of a relationship:
the one on the bottom/receiving end must be a smaller/feminine/beautiful because women traditionally get fucked, and the top MUST be masculine/larger/handsome because duhh, men fuck!!! /s
op has 100% reason to get frustrated with these people. a lot of folks think they're being more progressive and sticking to realism by wanting these couples to switch, but these people actually come off as more traditional because why CAN'T you see a masculine/"top"-adjacent man get fucked by a less masculine man without wanting them to switch?
you may have your reason for wanting switches, and that's valid, but the matter of fact is most people don't want switches because of the same reason you do, it's not "banding together way too many people", it's the truth.

Again, there's nothing inherently wrong with ppl expressing their preferences AS LONG AS it's done respectfully. That means: no demands, not spam, not directly telling the authors, no rude remarks about the author's choices and not offending other ppl and their views or preferences. The person before you literally said "nah it's not ok even if it's done respectfully", uhm excuse me? Everything you're describing can be expressed without it being harmful, without it being just a product of heteronormativity. Why do you guys think you can censor what ppl think and say if it's not harmful?

Yes, you are quite literally banding everyone together who would suggest anything different in relation to this non-trad dynamic, just because it can potentially be a sign of ppl forcing dangerous stereotypical views of what couples should look/act like or that it could negatively influence the author. I get it, it's scary, frustrating and unfair when conservatism affects even these fictional spaces and could reach ppl who are making an effort to publish different works and ideas. The issue is you're not differentiating between cases that have a negative effect and inconsequential remarks. What I described as my personal reasoning for liking vers couples applies to many other readers, as well. Not everyone is out to perpetuate stereotypes that do harm, so why are you so keen on assuming that about every such comment?

Finding something annoying is not equal to it being wrong or causing some kind of damage. If you treat it like so then you're gonna be contributing to misconceptions, prejudice and restriction of personal expression, just as much as the group of ppl you're accusing of reinforcing derogatory views.
That's what I'm trying to get across, but you're all just insisting on making blanket statements that have the opposite effect to what I understand you're aiming for.
