In comics, it's always shown that people are always prejudiced against orphans. Especially parents. Is that actually true somewhere?

I'm actually genuinely confused because we were taught to be kind to orphans. My mom would donate to orphanages monthly, and we followed that.

    In Korea there is this common thought that orphan kids have no one to depend on, no family connections, are poor and can't fit with kids with families (I'm not saying everyone thinks like that) so they tend to look down on them and show a lot of sympathy and stuff. So this is actually pretty normal.

    I think it's just in korea

    Thing is, this taught kindness goes bothways. It can stem from genuine want to help, or it can also be seen as a move to differentiate these kids from others. Orphans are easy targets of ostracism because they are grouped into a minority who don't have much backing.

    Though Korea's socialism is on another level with all the chaebol bullying and corruption cases, society in general just have this classism thing going. It is always nice to show sympathy to those in need, but it'll be hard to get rid of all prejudice so long as the majority sees them as a disadvantaged minority group.

    Oh no that one I understand. It's the extreme prejudice in manhwa that I was talking about. Like looking at orphans as if they're a disease. But maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

    orphans can get fostered or adopted simply to receive money from the government. in poorer countries, they don't do background checks, eg. in first world countries, it's extremely expensive to adopt and you have to go through multiple background checks.

    i know someone who ran away and completely cut off ties once they were 18, as they were essentially being used to cook, clean , and were always being punished, whilst their adoptee's birth son was treated completely the opposite.

    How sad. I have a few relatives that family friends who adopted because they couldn't have children of their own, and they really love their children. Here, the government don't provide aid to people who adopt, so those who adopted really REALLY want to have a child.

How nice of them to hand deliver the swords to our MC here. I would have given a 10/10 rating, but they got distracted, so 0/10.

He's been the real Lu Jie the entire time? Maybe a reincarnation, or even a pre-incarnation? Maybe it's not his second time living? Maybe he's a split soul that finally combines into one? Maybe he's been Lu Jie the entire time, and the modern world is just his imagination?

I'm an animator, I've been in a production team. One time, an intern posted a drawing based on a scene that she did in insta story. But she forgot to hide the actual unreleased scene behind her drawing! And the original studio found her story!! Omg the chaos that happened that day. Safe to say, she did a stupid, and immediately became EX-intern.

People who did leaks are disgusting. They sh*t on people who did hard work for the project.

That boy is the actual divine physician. And the old man is his disciple. It's like a certain murim character said, that there are 3 people that you should be especially suspicious of: frail or old-looking men, women, and children. Basically the more unsuspecting the character is, the more suspicious they are.

Nope. Still nothing. And at this point I would say nothing will ever be remotely romantic between Emma and any of her admirers.

Honestly I can kinda see that adult Emma would one day move into a mansion close by her family estate that could cater to each and every one of her insect needs. And that mansion would be owned by Joshua, who would be living there too. They'll be "housemates", you know. Because let's face it. No one else other than her direct family members will be able to adapt to Emma's lifestyle.

(Funny enough this is the ending for the main character of Yamada Tarou Monogatari. The oblivious MC ended up sharing a house to save money with a guy who obviously likes him LoL)

Why is an entire arc being squeezed into one chapter LoL it sounds so chaotic (which honestly is normal for the gang).

If ever my favourite idol group came to my high school as a surprise, I would actually faint. Then wake up, and ugly cry.
