YEESS YEEES I 100% agree
The bi/panphobia in webtoon/manga/manhwa etc is making me cringe too. I don't get how Niel can say things like "you're straight" after all this, even his friend wasn't straight, it was written all over his face he had feelings for Niel but wasn't brave enough to face the world.
When BL author will understand than sexuality is fluid and not just "I'm straight or gay" the level of those title will be great.
@Vixix Intellectuals think alike. ;)... @Jonas Tell me about it. There are people who are attracted to someone because of their personality, their spirit, their appearance without selecting a darn gender. I know bisexual is a stigma in these stories so just imagine pansexuality.
As a pansexual woman, I can't understand people that don't see a person but their physics, but I also accept that everyone is different and I also find it's what makes human so attractive. And I was so happy to see the term in this webcomic, I was like "finally, it's not a stupid "I'm straight but I want to fuck you in the ass nonetheless but no homo lolilol" or a "Oh shoot, so all the girl I loved were nothing!" but Niel's reaction just made me so mad x)
I liked the character but if he didn't apologize for his bullshit and still go "but you're straight" I'm done with him and hope Jensen will find someone better.
We have come a long way but people still are closed minded or just plain ignorant. It is refreshing that Jensen looked it up and pansexual came up. It was like a FINALLY someone dared to shed some light on this topic just like you said. However the webcomic took a major step back with Neil's character. Oh the irony of the gay guy shutting down a pansexual hottie. I want to see how they will move this shitstorm created by Neil along. This will determine my overall review for this webcomic. You have first hand experience and we know real life is twisted rainbows with people uncomfortable in their own let someone else's.
Okay, let's be reasonable adults. Neil was scared and is trying to get things clear and saying so isn't bad...BUT...telling someone how they feel isn't cool. Don't you think because Jensen is "straight", whatever the fuck that means these days, he wouldn't just jump on a guy for shits and giggles. Heterosexual men do not have a full makeout session, tongue sucking and hickey giving when they are drunk. They don't tell you they like you and apologize for making you a gay guy uncomfortable. They don't kiss you sober in an aquarium either. You do not get to dismiss someone feelings because of your insecurities and past bullshit. Jensen could have done the same to Neil by comparing him to past women relationships. If it had been Jensen to have done this, people would have been outraged. It's perfectly fine to be cautious and afraid but he was a dick about it. If I was Jensen, I wouldn't look his way. Being held to past ghosts isn't easy nor cute. The guy made out in public with you. He admitted he likes you. Told you he isn't drunk. He has shown you more than anything he is being serious. He even told you he was jealous of your coworker. Well let see what happens after. Once again I don't hate Neil or his feelings but I do hate how he crushed jensen's feelings because of his own.
