    This site may sexualize gay relationships but often they humanise them and normalise gay characters in fiction, which is a good thing in my eyes. There may be some harmful ideas reinforced in bl manga or webtoons surrounding consent, communication and sexuality but that's a whole other issue.

    The matter at hand is, this translator is blatantly putting down the word "gay" as a negative and rude term.

    Phrases like this may seem harmless to you, and you may think people are overreacting, but as someone who has seen how "it's gay" jokes can really mess up a person and their confidence and spread homophobia, I'm telling you that this isn't good.

    And as a member of the lgbt community, seeing a phrase like this on a webtoon I like is really upsetting.
