@Rottengirl26 Oh, absolutely. Because as a South Indian, I clearly need to consult the "Global POC Handbook" before forming an opinion on a fictional story. My mistake! 😞 It’s genuinely sad that you think my background means I’m obligated to share your exact perspective. I agree that releasing more chapters at once would have given better context, but bringing my race into this just because I think a story needs room to develop is completely unnecessary. We can disagree on media literacy without you policing how I'm "supposed" to react based on where I'm from. Now don't you think it's wrong that your saying this to me because of my background so ig if I was a white person you would have hated me for having opinion on this story that's double standard . Don't you think? And as for the author apology I'll always believe it's a forced apology like a teacher forcing students to apologise. Yk how bad it feels
I have read way too many yaoi manhwa I'm a girl

@I LOVE FEMBOYS Mb if you felt offended by me bringing your race into this, but the reason why I brought it up is because you of all people should know why this manhwa is considered offensive. I wouldn't hate you if you were a white person, I'd just be less surprised since most white people aren't oppressed so they can't really understand why people are taking this situation so seriously. And from what I've seen, most of the people defending this aren't poc. I'm not sure about you, but how would your people feel if someone decided to write a romantic series where the trope is colonizer x colonized? In no way would that feel great, it would feel insulting. Also, I'm pretty sure most of the "backlash" they got is from people outside of their country, I firmly believe if they continued with their series, it would still gain quite the audience especially among Koreans so I don't think it's a forced apology. The fact that the ml considers himself a "slave" to the mc is enough to realize why this this is wrong. And yes, master and slave tropes can appear in different stories but the context also matters. BDSM is about consent, not about how one race is more superior than the other. Comparing that to such a big issue that lasted for centuries is revolting. Mind you slavery still exists. R*e has already been romanticized and normalized in the bl community, and the next thing you guys want to normalize is slavery. Like genuinely be for real. Fiction does affect reality when real life events are being depicted.
