Meh this might be woke but I hate the "fair skinned and fragile uke gets treated like trash by the big scary DARK SKINNED seme trope"...this happens alot in straight manhwas too and makes me feel so uncomfortable as a melanated person myself. Dropping for this reason among so many others lol IK this doesn't matter as much to others but if there's poc reading and feel this way, trust me u are not alone

    They just dont want to admit that korean bl is waaaay behind in political correctness. (Not that japanese bl is BUT we have seen them doing more progressive stories) while Koreans are early 2000 storylines with yaoi hands holding smartphones instead of fliphones

    You’re completely valid in that reasoning. It’s an unfortunate trope that does make me uncomfortable at times especially when the only poc is the shitty ML. I do remember dropping one manhwa before because of how much it pissed me off. I don’t remember the name but the premise was the FL using makeup to disguise herself as ugly and part of how she did that was making herself darker skinned. I immediately dropped it after I saw that. I can only hope authors get better at handling poc characters.

    Leader of the revolution that took down the corrupt government and married the surviving royal member which he knew since childhood in order to avoid their unfair execution... How is ML scary or shitty ?
    You people didn't read anything before talking shit did you ?

    I mean I get it, there's plenty of racist manhwa out there but maybe let's read a few chapters instead of just the synopsis before calling wolf ?

    Omg yeah I've also read several manhwas and watched anime where the characters had to disguise themselves so they would put dirt or them selves to make them "less beautiful" so they "stand out less"...it's so unfortunate TT Also love triangles where the evil abusive one was the tan one :( Like why does dark skin mean brute to them i don't get it
