So why are yall more concerned about his facial hair and not about the fact he's SEXUALLY ASSAULTING THE BODYGUARD?!!!
To be fair- everyone commented that before the newest chapter so they didn't know
Forget the beard this plot is just yikes. Privileged white man in great position of power assaults his poc employee. Really Korea really. Man talk about tone deaf casual racists. But what do I know I don’t get off of this so it isn’t meant for me clearly. Adios.
Ikr smh
YES.
The constant use of the R slur in this Manhwa is fucking ridiculous. I do not care how "normalised" it is in Korea or China or Japan. The fact that the author even thought it was okay to add it in as constant vocabulary is disgusting.
I get this is a comedy but as someone who self harms and deals with these thoughts i cannot accept how it seems that the way we feel is being portrayed in a mocked way. Making fun or making it seem like a game for the MC to kill himself. It's not funny, you can do a depressive story and still have comedy. Just don't make that comedy involve all of the thoughts of self harm, or how wimpy we seem when it comes to our choice of suicide, or even how easily he comments about wanting to die. I do feel heavily offended and made fun of.
about the comments of him wanting to die
i feel as if it’s just a way of coping ,, i am suicidal myself and a lot of times ways i cope with that is by making fun of myself or dark humor. i get maybe you dont agree and feel as if it’s mockery but for some people it’s quite the opposite. and with the r slur ,, it’s true it’s normalized. so thats most likely why the author sees no problem it may not be their fault ...
But you basically just explained it why the author uses it so much? It’s normalized, so maybe the author doesn’t even know what’s wrong with the word, a lot of people don’t know actually
And I think is just as the other comment said, it’s a coping mechanism. A lot of people try to cope by making jokes
when my dog and cat died I used to joke a lot because it was a way of trying not to cry, some of my friends felt uncomfortable but it was about me dealing with my feelings, and it didn’t envolve anyone else. I’m really sorry if it makes you feel uncomfortable and don’t agree with it.
But we don’t even know what the author is going through so... maybe they’re trying to cope with themselves by writing this
just say ur sensitive and move on, if ur depressed u shouldnt read stories about it anyways
Yes because you can totally tell me how to deal and cope with my depression. I'm not sensitive, i just have human decency. Something you clearly don't know about.
im not telling you how to cope with ur depression, but if u read smth and know its gonna bother u, shouldnt u stop reading it? its not even a question of how u cope ur just putting urself thru it and then complaining. also ur not entirely wrong on the last part
I have stopped reading it actually, i didn't think the story itself would make me feel offended in anyway but the way the suicidal person is portrayed just didn't feel right to me. Also, just general use of ableist slurs is so normalised everywhere that people seem to forget that they are slurs. In all honesty, the translation team is also to blame for not using a different word like idiot or moron.
you cant rly expect everyone to write just the stories you want. not everything has to be a "good portrayal" and anyway, suicidal people arent a homogenous group? this is just a story about one character. also.. consider that this is a korean manhwa and has dif standards + comedy from american tv for ex. I dont like the r word use either but saying just "i dont care if its normalized in [asian countries the author isnt even from], its disgusting of them personally" comes off ignorant.
ok but then why are you even reading this??
the suicidal person is actually portrayed well ... but once again thats just my opinion because personally i really relate and act like him (⊙…⊙ )
I haven’t read much of this manga so I guess I don’t really have a say. But one thing I’d like to comment on is the use of the R slur. This is a korean manga right? So all the English is translated from Korean, meaning that the words may not be exact. For example, I’ve seen the R slur and even N slur used in Japanese manga when I KNOW there is no exact equivalent to either of those words that can be considered a slur in Japanese (the N word was used in Pumpkin Night, to be fair the translator was called out for this bc it definitely was not used in the original). Instead of criticising the author for using a word that may not even be a slur in his language, we should question the translator’s choice to translate it to a word that is considered a slur. Who knows, I might be talking out of my ass and the word actually is offensive in Korean, but I honestly doubt it and I personally think it might just be a difference in the meaning of the translated words
Seems we may be getting to the part of the story where character development is present also.
WHY THE FUCK DOES HE HAVE SUCH ON FLEEK EYEBROWS.
I loved this story however as a person who deals with severe mental illnesses, i cannot be happy at the fact that the mother's intentions of murder were simply passed off and excused because of her illness. I also don't like how quickly he was to "accept" her because of her manipulative way of crying. She's not apologetic at all and clearly doesn't change her opinion therefore its clearly not just her mental illness.
People are saying it's the curse and the fact that Banam's appearance swayed Rix to say yes.
You lot are forgetting that the Curse doesn't effect Rix if he's had sexual intercourse with Nuah so that's marked off and the issue with Banam makes me weak kneed but doesn't sway his mental decisions.
Rix has already proven that he'll sleep with anyone as proven with the incubus. He had no need to kiss him yet did anyway. I think he need to just accept that Rix is unfaithful.
I could be completely wrong but this is just my stance on this.
He literally trusting his son with him. If that doesn't show trust i don't know what does.
I read this story because it reminds me of how my life was with my mother and her boyfriend. Me and my siblings was constantly abused whether it be physically, mentally or emotionally. Eventually it became to neglect, where food wasn't avaliable in the house, hygiene wasn't for us and we was left alone or being used as slaves. It warms my heart to see this story portray abuse in the vicious form it is and give the mc a supporting friend that most of us didn't have in our time of need. Seeing all your messages on this comment section of supporting abuse victims is so heartwarming to me and helps me everyday to battle the trauma, ptsd and depression that I'm now dealing with in affect.

Does anyone else think it's strange thatAngel, Keith's father (mother by birthing them) is constantly running away from his husband?
