So I think I am asexual and that must be weird to hear from someone who reads yaoi manga and even I cant explain why I read it, for a long time I thought I read it because I was interested in it in a sexual way but then I tried to watch gay porn and didn’t feel the same interest. So I tried to watch bunch of different porn varying from straight to lesbian and I came to the conclusion that I had no interest in them. And kind of am in a dilemma. Anyway I decided that I was asexual because after watching and reading tons of stuff I decided that I was fine with seeing other people do it, but not be done to me. I wouldn’t want anyone to touch my lower or upper regions (once again I thought maybe it was because I never had a lover whom I trust but who knows) NOW this manga pisses me of so much because 1! Respect and consent! It is rape! If you think someone who is not curious about sex or at least not curious enough to try it themselves won’t just love having sex after you raped them. 2! You are betraying your friends trust! If I trusted my friend to hang out at his home and study or have fun this doesn’t give him or her the right to try something! Why would you destroy the trust your friend has on you?
I agree 100% percent with you about this manga, I know it's only a stiry, but if someone says he's not interested in sex, he's not, let him understand himself first.
Off the topic, just like you, I identify myself as an asexual, but I do enjoy reading yaoi and smut, and when it comes to porn and asexuality it just depends on an individual, for example, I can watch porn and enjoy it, but it doesn't mean I actually want to have sex. And if something like this happend to me, oh I'd be so pissed an one friend short....
Oh yeah I get you! It really piss me off too even tho I don’t think tamaki is asexual because for him. It’s more a trauma thing, people that loves you should be able to respect your boundaries. I really wanna trust this author because I really liked her other manga but for now...
As for the thing of liking yaoi as a ace person, it ‘s something I was asked a lot about in the past and people just did not get it (I’m aro ace btw) First being ace is a spectrum so even two ace people are different on that. Personally I know I enjoy reading yaoi and smut sometimes, because it makes me feel things I’m otherwise not capable of feeling irl (also some plot are great and some characters too) and even if I get in that “horny mood” I just don’t really feel the need of doing anything. I just like the feeling. And the beauty of it sometimes too (yeah, some sex scenes are work of art where you can really feel the affections between the two mains) And I sure as hell would hate if anyone would try to do something to me, especially a close friend (I once had one of my close friend who tried to date me. Just like Shii with tamaki here, he asked me to wait for a month before rejecting him definitely, a month where he tried to woo me. Luckily for me he was a good guy and always respected my boundaries but even stuff like his arm around my shoulders felt terrible and awkward af. I would have killed him if he pulled shit like shii)
Anyway, I got a little bit off road but just wanted to tell you you’re not weird for being ace and liking yaoi XD
I just couldn’t help but think about this story through the other way, like if it was a girl who almost got raped and had multiple bad accidents with men than of course she would be afraid (I’m not saying that him belittling gay people is right) and then comes a client who wants to touch you (which is sexual harassment?) and then you go to your coworker who tells you that they would help you if you gave them your virginity? I mean to me that sounds horrible I would just fucking resign and never look back? Because you know it’s my body and shouldn’t he also choose what he does with his body, who takes his virginity? I would maybe understand this sadistic urges the queen has if the uke was going around hitting and abusing gay people (which he only called them fag and only punched once and it was clear that he was really scared?) but he isnt so Idk I’m kind of conflicted. By the way I didn’t finish the whole thing these are my initial thoughts
Okay so I just thought of this and this really has more to do with the last episode than this one but did Shin not see the dead guard lying on the ground? Because if he did than of course it’s suspicious that there is a dead guard but if he didn’t that would explain why he was angry with the king instead of the red man
I just thought of this and I might be wrong but does Shin realize that his Majesty is in love with him? Before he said that the king only saw him as a trophy but that’s clearly not true in his Majesty’s eyes. However he doesn’t know that Shin is thinking like this. And I just thought is Shin in love with him? Sure he wanted everyone to see his greatness but I think he cares about him more as a King than a man. If the time came and his Majesty had to have heirs I think Shin would force women onto him. I might be wrong, though I suspect they will have a fight in the future
This may be controversial but I kinda want Phos to end everything. Right now he doesnt remember feeling happy or having fun at all. He only remembers the hatred and loneliness. The gems when he first came to Earth and tried talking to them didn’t listen to him and in return he didn’t listen to them either. To other gems Adamant was a father figure someone who protected and loved them to Phos the only time he felt loved was when there was the Ice gem (sorry I forgot his name) after losing him there wasn’t anymore love. And after the later events he learned that he is only loved if he is usefull to adamant, which is shitty. In phos’ mind it was only Adamant’s selfishness to not pray and nothing more. Now he is tired and the only thing fueling him is hatred and vengeance. Yeah so I just want him to end it all, relax have a nice bath and kill everyone that ever wronged him (not that I support the idea but you know it’s not that I also don’t)









I’m so happy that they didn’t do the “you have to date or you wont be together” thing. I’m really relieved to see normal non romanticized boy and girl friendship. And a girl who realizes her true worth and understands that she doesn’t have to change herself to be worthy of some stupid boy’s attention! She can be whoever she wants and I’m so happy that everyone sees this!
