I mean it's cute but it really annoys me when they play the ''not gay it's just you'' card. He especially went and said he fellt relieved when thinking of shun as special so he doesn't have to consider he likes a man. The fuck? Of course these mangas totally ignore the existence of bisexuality, but even when the MC is fucking a guy he still is against the idea of being gay and ends up with this half assed conclusion of still liking women, with ONE exception. Tbh it WAS a cute manga but it's just ruins it for me when that's what it boils down to
I totally agree. I mean, I found it cute and funny but the thorn in my just won't go away every time they use that same excuse
Look up the Kinsley scale. It ranks from 0 to 6, 0 being exclusively heterosexual, 3 being bisexual, and 6 being exclusively homosexual. Sexual orientations can change according to some stages in life especially the stages in which people experiment with their sexuality. My point here is, a person can identify themselves as a heterosexual but could still have homosexual relationships with a certain person, and it doesn't mean they're bisexual; the same goes for someone who identifies as homosexual but is able to maintain a heterosexual relationship.
It does happen. Not as often as it does in manga, but I’ve seen it in real life. For a manga author, a love that transcends sexual orientation can be irresistible
@meatdumpling Uh, no. Exactly because sexuality is a spectrum one is able to be like 98% attracted to the opposite gender and have that one person of the same gender they find attractive, or viceversa. That's not being straight though. As small of a percentage it might be, sexuality has no black and white spaces like that. Even the bisexual people you put at a general 3 don't all feel the same way, some preferring one gender to the other and so on. Sorry but as ''romantic'' you think it is, it just doesn't work that way.
Also @keylime pie ''trascending sexual orentation'' is all fun and games until you realize they're always using the fact that they're both dudes like an obstacle to overcome. The big problem in these stories is always that they ''can't'' be gay/don't want to be, and the resolution is always them kinda realizing the guy is just special, and it's okay because they're in fact not gay, they just found the one exception. Like no, I'd rather see a story of someone learning to know and accept themselves thanks to a new love instead of this condescending ''but you're normal I get it if you hate me :('' shit
I wasn't saying it in a romantic way, I was saying it in a scientific way. Also the Kinsley scale is not black and white as you said, it's exactly a spectrum, but I now know you're not the kind of people to look up facts, such a shame really
And you are? Go on and tell me what did I say that was incorrect if you actually have something to say. But that doesn't seem to be the case. You're being pretentious simply because what you said was wrong and the facts you provided are against you. I now see you're the kind of person worthy of discussing with, such a shame really
Using the trope of "I'm not gay but fell in love with a man" as an excuse to keep identifying as a straight because being gay it's considered bad, wrong, not good enough or whatever reason you wanna make is homophobia (internalized mostly). End of discussion.
I REALLY hope that was not a flashback and he's still in a coma somewhere. They'll maybe fulfill his last two wishes and they'll make us believe he passed on and disappeared. BUT INSTEAD HE WAKES UP AND SHOWS UP IN FRONT OF HIS DEPRESSED ASS BOYFRIEND AND THEY CAN FINALLY TOUCH AND BE TOGETHER AND I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD IF THIS ISNT IT THIS BITCH IS GONNA RIOT
I generally don't like mpreg but not for the reason you'd think. I'm fine with the idea of a guy giving birth, but the circumstances of it are always what puts me off.
I haven't read the raws and I'm just commenting off the spoilers but this seems to be going the same way. The uke is always trapped into the relationship almost NEVER willingly or out of attraction but with some trick the seme pulls. Often it's exactly BECAUSE the seme needs someone to get pregnant that he pulls said trick. And once the deed's done and the unfortunate guy of choice looses any personality in favor of being... just pregnant I guess, we're lacking some drama, so that's where the douchebag seme comes in either doubting the whole pregnancy thing or getting over jealous of his own kid or stupid stuff like that.
Whatever, it's really not my thing. If anyone knows any mpreg manga to change my mind I'll gladly read them, but up until now I've only encountered this kind of stale and unintentionally sad plot, so I'm not gonna stick around to see it again here, since these characters aren't even that likeable to me.
This isn't like that at all.
SPOILER WARNING
the uke takes fertility pills after the seme gets kidnapped because of the agreement he made with the semester friend. Despite making this agreement the uke is actually happy about the possibility of pregnancy and wants to have the semes baby so he agrees to take the pills and doesn't tell the seme. When the seme finds out he tells him to get rid of the baby not because he doesn't want kids but because he thinks the uke might get hurt or die by being pregnant.
FUCK YES I was scared for a sec than won was gonna end up with that creepy dude, but luckily he seems to be getting the wholesome teacher HEHEHE
also purple hair guy...let's just call him trunks, trunks is very pretty, and I adore teacher's little sis
Lastly, get the petty alarm guy outta the house and I'm good lol
why trunks tho
because dragon ball z
Yeaa ive been calling him trunks too
OOOHHH okok i see
This blackmailing plot is SO OVERUSED and the semes are always so fucking unlikable. This guy is an emotionless asshole how the fuck am I supposed to root for them and enjoy the inevitable love story?
Yes omg
I hate both the princes A LOT and I pity both ian and el. Idk it doesnt seem like the story wants to aknowoledge that this shouldn't continue, instead we have ian goin ''oh well it's always been like this and nothing will change''. the twins too, deserve better. absolutely FUCK vichid
Oh, I'd fuck him.
''Since its you...I don't have to loosen you up, do I?'' HAHAHAAHHA JINHA THROWING SHADE AND CHOKING HIM WITH ANYTHING HE CAN FIND HAS ME DEAD
this motherfucker is actually talking about his goddamned boyfriend saying he straight (￣∇￣")...whatever you say pete
this artstyle man. It made everything better, it's just so good
I liked the non stereotypical characters. But I really dislike how both of them had some traumatic event with women in the past as if suggesting that's why they're gay now. Also I'm never for describing straight as ''normal'' and this manga did that a LOT.
But it is normal? In the sense that it's the norm. Being gay is normal as well, does saying that mean that being straight isn't normal? The difference being that heteros are the norm. The majority.
Very much agree. That's the one part where I was like... alright let's just ignore that.
the other side of normal is abnormal. abnormal doesn't just mean less frequent, it means something outside of what's right. idk it's just a stupid term to use and in this case when it's used it's usually to imply the ''normal'' way is the only right way
I agree!
