FYI to people curious about her speech
She's not speaking in a childish way on purpose even though she has the awareness of a 30 year old.
It's more a problem anatomically, her body is that of a child. Children need time to develop their organs of speech and structures assoc. (tongue, lips, motor nerves, facial muscles etc). She probably wants to speak without her mispronunciations but her child body won't let her.
This manga doesn't have racism. Racism is discrimination against someone because of their Race and not their skin or hair color. A person with African descent who is light skinned can still face racism for being "black" and that refers to their descent, not per say their skin color.
There is discrimination against a person's look here, but it's not towards their race. It is important to note that skin color is NOT exclusive to any race.
To put it in isekai perspective, their racism usually is when humans discriminate against beastkins, dragonkins, humanoid etc.
yeah no, there is a kind of racism that deals with skin color..............
its called colorism
Colorism is rampant in (most Asian) Japanese media
The term "Colorism" does not even officially exist. It's not really a word with an official definition yet. With that said, although it happens often in the context of people among the same race, it is not exclusive to the banner of racism. It's simply a culture's preferential tendency to lean to a certain type of skin color. Its a form of prejudice, but not always racism, in fact it would seem to contradict the very definition of racism. Colorism usually happens in the same race and usually has nothing to do with discriminating from one's race, but rather it focus on their skin color preference.
For reference this is the official definition of Racism from Webster
"a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race"
Lmao, it just became an official word in Webster a week ago! XD
" prejudice or discrimination especially within a racial or ethnic group favoring people with lighter skin over those with darker skin"
but again, not exclusive to the banner of racism. It's just rather a form prejudice.
It also happens amongs African Americans.... they discriminate against those who are of lighter skin..
The term ‘racism’ has mostly been used inaccurately. Because most people use it in context between humans. But ALL humans are of the SAME RACE. What people are actually referring to is ‘tribalism’, ‘nationality’, and xenophobia.
I believe you are thinking of "Race" in a biologic sense.
'Racism' was actually a termed coined with the idea of classifying humans to groups based off their shared characteristics, so it's not a misused word; that was the intent when it was made.
Race defined as human categorization according to shared characteristics etc is accepted in Anthropology as it's official definition. Among Biologist, it may carry a different meaning.
Race has different meanings. It could be a running competition, a taxonomy, or a reference to a group of humans sharing specific characteristics.
Therefore, it's not a misused word, you are simply looking at a different definition of it.
Bottom Line: IT WAS RAPE, but IT'S ALSO FICTION!
Fujioshi's stop self-justifying, that clearly was rape. Anything involving sexual acts without CONSENT (this includes an incapacitated person) is rape.
But you don't need to justify it or feel like you have to defend yourself for liking the scene, because it's FICTION. There's a clear line between real life and fiction, people complaining about rape here need to stop and go somewhere else. We are aware that it was rape, but we're also aware that it's FICTION and NOT to be tolerated in real life.
I honestly don't understand the people on here, specifically going out of their way and wasting their time just to comment about "Rape" stuff on here. We are aware and we don't condone it in REAL LIFE. There are other platforms out there with real issues, and where you can speak your voice more efficiently.
This manhwa is clearly messed up just based off ch.1 and the summary, what are you doing all the way to Chapter 21? Even going out of your way to search for raws?
Or maybe, just admit that you just want attention and is on here hyper exaggerating your sense of self-righteousness to feel important? If you look at rapist's profiles, I'm pretty sure, there's not that many, if ANY AT ALL that said it was because they read yaoi. We're not a bunch of lunatics here, we're just readers!
!
I’ve been waiting for this comment all my life
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ LOUDER FOR THE PPL IN THE BACK
Uhm, so many self-righteous Debbie Downers here. You need to calm down, because you are embarrassing yourself. This is the YAOI genre. It is a highly sexualize genre where the sexual assault theme often emerges BUT that doesn't mean we support sexual assault. This is clearly a fantastical story. Just because we read this sh*t, doesn't mean we can't distinguish reality from a fantasy. We are clearly aware that sexual assault is wrong in real life. This manhwa does not condone sexual assault, it just telling a story to a bunch of mature adults who knows that it's JUST A EFFIN' STORY! This story is NOT aimed for impressionable children who don't know what's right or wrong, so I don't see the problem. YES, WE KNOW RAPE IS WRONG IN REAL LIFE.
Us fujioshi don't comment that in every Yaoi manhwa because everyone knows that already! Except you maybe, who's trying to be a Social Justice Warrior in a place that doesn't need that. We are already all clearly aware of what's fantasy and real life.
*face palm
Also, that was not Rape. Sexual Assault? Yes, Rape? No.
Yesssssss... well said
It is immature to believe reading is the same as condoning
SAY IT LOUDER ( ^ ∇ ^ )/
This sums up everything ╮(￣▽￣)╭
If you don't like seeing or reading about this stuff then give up on Yaoi... if a story is about nobles you can bet that there will be some sexual assault or rape ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
It's just a story...
I disagree with the whole yaoi typically has sexual assault so we should just expect and accept it in yaoi narrative in your paragraph. I think people should complain and call it out more and have yaoi authors see people want variety. That said I don't think THIS Yaoi is the one to do that with when the genre of this is the type that has the abusive type. This is not a romance yaoi and it's not trying to be. The author from the start is clear with what type of characters these people are . So i dont think people should be complaining about this Yaoi when this is the type of story the author is going for
There are many Yaoi's with sexual assault, but there are also many that don't. That's why we pick our poison. Stories are made by authors at their own creative discretion. As readers, we read stories, decide if we like it or not, then move on. It's good to have your reading taste and opinion, but you should not impose it on others. Some people like sexual assault in their yaoi (lLOL kinky), but that doesn't make them any less of a person, because like I said: it's just fantasy, not real life.
If you are trying to avoid the Sexual Assault theme, then there are plenty of Yaois out there that don't have it.
Personally, I really like assertive seme x tsundere/shy uke pairing so the stolen kisses, inappropriate sexual comments etc is cute to me, but hey. That's me.
Your comments should be posted everywhere. I'm tired when rape or nonconsensual shit happens and there are always that one bunch filling up the comments saying how Yaoi needs to stop with the rape or how just because it's fiction doesn't excuse it. Eyeroll, don't you just love that argument? It's a story for a reason. Those who like it or if the author does, it's a fulfillment to their fantasies or kinks in fiction. A Fantasy in which readers can indulge in it, fantasizing things they don't condone in real life. They can criticize the character for their actions or approach to a solution for something but if it's to bash a story/series everytime it comes up? Geezus.
Yall need to spread this thread
i mean, if someone is uncomfortable, they should be allowed to express that, yeah? but i dont like how people seem to hate those that enjoy this. same goes for the ones hating people who dont.
if people find this hot, am i going to insult them and call them crazy? no. just bc its not MY kink or whatever doesnt mean im going to insult other people who like this type of stuff
I think people are too concerned with being politically right these days, even chasing you all the way to your fantasies -.-
Like can we get a break please?
When it comes to being woke to social issues, common sense and moderation is key. Why are some people acting like fujioshis are going around poking people's nipples in public,or cheering on rapists in real life? That's definitely not the case. If you're woke, go raise your voice somewhere else, because this is definitely not your platform. People here might have wild fantasies, but we're all quite sane. It's just a story pErioDt.
Couldn't agree more ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
We're not insane just kinky
Periyattt.
Someone commenting their dislike towards rape and abuse is not imposing their opinions on others. Their doing the same thing you are now. Most Yaois have Abusive relationships so its not picking one poison when theres not much to pick from. Also Rape and Abuse does not equal assertive. There is a lot of yaoi trying to pass as love when its covered in abuse and rape and most have an issue with that. But this yaoi is not. Its clear from the start what it is. I dont think this is the type of yaoi people should complain about abuse in when thats the type of story it is. Its not those yaoi that start light then turn dark. It's been dark from the beginning. Thats why im saying people shouldn't be surprised about this one
There something refreshing about a heroine rescuing her hero for once.
Too often we get picture perfect main lead, so it's nice to have an imperfect one for once.
I look forward to seeing them grow together <3
This is my favorite type of yaoi: HAWT with an actual STORYLINE <3
What is the punishment?
WHAT IS THE PUNISHMENTTTTT? Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
It's not what you think. Nothing kinky.
If you read the raws, it's actually water torture. It's not kinky at all. It's cruel. There were two men with sticks. Don't know if they were going to beat him.
So we all have to suffer through this in the next chapter(⊙…⊙ ).
Noooooooo....
I think the seme stopped them before they could do anything to the uke, because the seme can’t help but be unusually gentle to the uke.
u know he was the one who gave the punishment right? that ain't gentle bud
also he smacked him so hard in ch 11, he fell to the floor. did u forget?
his MO is supposed to be sexy evil psycho seme, not unusually gentle seme lol
I meant compared to other people, he is gentle to the uke. He killed his servant for getting the "wrong" information, he threw away his fuck buddy by the hair because he said something off. Meanwhile, with the uke, he pats his head, is patient with him, and even cancels a punishment issued by own self (this is actually a big deal in Ancient Korea because it's the same as going back on your word, and admitting that you made a mistake). Also, you have to keep in mind that this is Ancient Korea, where lowborns are treated as dirt. Most nobles are repulsed by the mere touch of them.
By the seme and noble's standards, it is gentle :P that's why the brunette fuck buddy is salty sis.
I always thought the reason why he's patting the other guy's head is that he hasn't done anything to piss him off. He did in the beginning when he lied about being the artist of the book. Tied him up and all that. But I get what you mean. Gotta be nice to the artist you're commissioning from. Those hands of his are basically treasures if he draws art that makes the master's dick hard just by staring at the finished work.
If Yoon's porn maker gets damaged, there will be hell to pay!
Lmao hahah true.
But seriously though, by standard from that time period in korea, the uke should have been sentenced to death at least 3 times already (lying to a noble, “attacking” a noble, sabotaging commissioned work). Lowborns were looked at very poorly by the nobles, and even the tiniest wrongs can lead to punishment by death. AND I’m pretty sure the seme already has some underlying attraction to the uke. It’s not just his works anymore. You can tell by how he treats the uke, ,by how turned on he is by his work now and how he showed mixed emotions after the uke compared him to the teacher. I don’t think it’s just his work anymore that the seme is after, even if he knows it or not.
Sexual attraction, probably started when he saw the painter crying. We're so early in the comic. I don't see it anything other than that.
True! He has a famous temper yet he holds back (somewhat) with the Uke. The painter can easily paint without watching the whole show. Yoon makes the kid watch everything. In fact, he seems turned on more by the Painter watching him than the fact that it's being painted.
The topknot guy even said "Why couldn't he have him paint it after?" Exactly. Kid can paint from memory. Yoon wants the kid watching though
OMG SO TRUE!
He makes him watch the whole show, and makes sure that he’s watching. He can’t even properly focus on his own activity!
The uke definitely has special treatment compared to all the seme’s f.buddies.
I'm intrigued o.o
So far, the smells are:
MC: can't figure out his smell, but it's closer to a "good guy" smell
the sister: has negative feelings, but not a bad person smell
the landlord: strong smell, the cop said "he's lying"; no comments about him killing anyone.
the bachelor from 302: serial killer smell
the building: sinister smell
ALSO who is the boy and girl from room 202 (directly below 302) I would presume.
they're both bruised, and the girl does not want to get cops involved.
