people on this site are uke-phobic honestly its like seme's can do no wrong here. And before anyone jumps in saying "uhmmm yes i think semes can be bad", if ukes do what semes do just read the comments on any yaoi on here where that happens and @ me
i totally agree just because the seme looks sexy these people say the uke is the shitty one. but in this case both are terrible and completely selfish. this relationship is beyond toxic...it's corrupted. (for any Steven universe fans out there we all know what being corrupted does to you.)
but i finally found someone who doesn't take sides but sees that both sides are just...intolerable.
I have a theory for that. If you’d like to hear it stick with me please:
First off despite most mangas and other works on this site portraying gay relationships, there’s something obviously quite off about all of them and mainly - the roles the characters play, one of them simply HAS TO be the GUY GUY, while the other one is basically the substitute for a girl, all feminine, mostly short, shy, bitchy, interested in ‘cute’ things, who is DEFINITELY the bottom, because it’s a stereotype originated from straight relationships (most actual gay relationships aren’t like this) something people aren’t quite ready to let go of yet. Another old stereotype people like sticking to is how women are bad, traitorous, cunning devils and the guys are often innocent. And when you put these misguided but persistent ideologies together you get..what you get.
I myself am guilty of doing this sometimes, but that’s because some authors just LIKE sticking these horribly stereotyped characters down our throats for tension and drama. Can’t say it’s not exactly the case for this webtoon, but at least the chrs here are more realistic and dimensional, they make sense.
YESSSSS!!! I HAVE THOUGHT THIS FOR SUCH A LONG TIME BUT DIDNT KNOW HOW TO SAY IT i agree with every.single.word. you just wrote
Preach, some yaoi tropes are just awful. There are a few authors though which don't conform to using such stereotypes. PARK Ji-yeon who has the Momentum series, and Yoneda Kou never draw any of their characters to be the "tall, cold, unemotive, masculine one" and the "tiny feminine uke who needs to be protected, and they also act bratty and reactively"
Wow (⊙…⊙ )
Thanks everyone ( T﹏T ), i am so glad to know i wasn’t alone in having such a strong opinion amongst the majority of people on this site who don’t share it.
I gotta say, i enjoy the works that appear recently, which include smarter and more realistic characters, a recent favorite of mine is Here U Are, and a few others. And while almost nothing I read manages to completely get rid of stereotypes, they’re cutting it close. Just seeing that progress is happening makes me so hopeful about the future.
Why are people mad at hyesung? Were we reading the same chapter?
Hyesung is getting morning sickness which is killer btw. Throwing up constantly and not being able to stomach anything is not fun and not easy to deal with. Also he is getting pregnancy cravings, which is pretty much inevitable when you're pregnant, so if you can actually stomach something while dealing with vomiting, ofc you'd want it. Secondly, after Dojin bought the takoyaki that hyesung was craving in the end hyesung was unable to stomach it and even apologized! So tell me again why people are mad at hyesung? Pregnancy is not a walk in the park, it's a freaking marathon and it really takes a toll on you mentally and physically. I know hyesung is being cold about the baby but can't you at least understand that pregnancy isn't easy for the carrier?
