Comment on ChapterRing - Chapter 21
I'mma drop this very early simply because the premise of forced pregnancy is screaming ra** to me (tempering with contraceptives removes consent from intimacy which is ra**, don't let that slide in reality it's horrible no matter who does it) 
It's cutesy and all but that just bothers me every chapter
It would've been so good without that part, why did the author have to use that trope T-T
Literally just make it a consensual pregnancy and it would've been amazing...

@Miola yes exactly! This just looks really tacky to me, not because of the art or character design, but because of whole trope and plot. I initially started reading this because it was listed as a shounen (and yet it has lots of s3xual themes, which definitely don't match the description) and because I thought it was cute. I'm so disappointed since from the start it literally just talks about the white haired guy tricking his partner to sleep w him (which in many ways doesn't even look consensual)
@Thisisanalt
With all respect, I understand your concern, believe me.But this is a really good manhua, kind of freaky, but it's still good. Please give it another try. But remember, Tian (bottom, blonde hair) is much older than Tia (top, white hair). They're not screaming R__p. Their relationship is so mutual and healthy. If you read more, you will know their backstory, their first encounter, and their life. And of course it will be sexual, and you will understand why the Tia did that. Of course Tian will know it eventually.

I'M NOT SAYING IT SHOULD BE NORMALIZE! NO NEVER! NEVER NORMALIZE IT!

Also, is this your first time reading a BL? Of course it will be sexual and freaky. I know the genre doesn't, but most of the BL has a freaky scene, and I think they put shounen because it's about a boy and his life, like in the story. If you don't like sexually explicit BL, this is not for you two, because, like you said, it's full of freaky stuff, and there's a part of r__p, but not in Tian and Tia; it's the purple hair. Just skip that if you don't want to see that.

But if you're uncomfortable, like I said, I understand. If you're uncomfortable, it's okay. If you don't like it, it's okay. Just give it one more chance? It's really good and funny, actually. But if you don't like it, it's okay; everyone has their opinion, and it's all that matters.
@LaineM. Girly pop, I've been reading BL for more than a decade at this point which is why I don't tolerate such undertones anymore
I don't have anything against s**, one of my all time fave BLs is "I can hear you even without a microphone"
But I do take issue with dubious consent and unconsenting pregnancy FOR SURE

I would've let it pass in the beginning of my journey, maybe even in the middle
But this is such a big problem in the whole genre that I'm just tired of it

Consent is se**

Normalize that
@neomilky just cause there are other more stinky piles of sh** doesn't mean u have to eat it, babe

Also
Who asked?
@Miola listen... Mind your own business and shut up no one asked for your opinion in the first place and if the white haired guy can take care of his pregnant spouse no problem so just shut up ok don't ruin my mood
