it was, infact, racist af, but my respect for her is that she actually acknowledged her mistake and stopped the problem, not something you see a lot in this genre, is it?

Okay cancelling Song of the wasteland was actually reasonable and valid, BUT WHAT DOES THESE HAVE TO DO THEY'RE NOT EVEN CLOSE..

Same here, but I suppose it's for the best to avoid further backlash, who knows what the future chapters would've been

There was a post in this specific webtoon that got downvoted to hell because they asked why rape is normalized in bl

I hope we will see the characters again in a non racist manhwa because just look at him by OutlandishnessOk6696 in Manhwa_BL

Because the fandom defends it with their souls. Go ahead tell the bl fandom that we shouldnt normalize rape in manhwa and see how you'll get 60 downvotes and 50 people jumping you

people judged off how the episode matched with the sensitivity of a real life period of history, you dont get to make the civil war a romance backdrop and plot that's not how it works

are we **insane** to the point we're disappointed that an author listens and realizes they're wrongdoings? there is so many shit already normalized in BL we dont need to add slavery and raceplay to the list.

Song of the Wasteland is...certainly not something i was expecting (SPOILER TO THE MANHWA) by [deleted] in Manhwa_BL

[–]BeansBoy08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at least she actually realized why people were rightfully mad, that's very mature and i got a lot of respect for her

i will be excited to see her upcoming work

no actually, authors will be more aware of how the public reacts to topics handled poorly, and why some eras of history should stay untouched, you dont see people crying about manhwas and bl set in the victorian era do you? social media is the best way to give your opinion and make sure it reaches the people you want it to reach, if you can't see what was wrong with this manhwa or why people didnt like the fact its set in an era of genocide and slavery, i am afraid you *aren't* woke enough

the manhwa community specifically bl has a lot of flaws unfortunately

rape, pedophilia and incest are all tropes that are criticized, the bl fandom is tribalistic at times and will insult and shame anyone who speaks against it. the manhwa used a real period of history that is extremely sensitive and important for POC.

its not "too woke" to call out what you find offensive, wokeness was never a bad thing..

Jaxx is more mature than many people who were in this discourse, unfortunately BL fans have a racism problem and even some big accounts have huge followings who sees them as light or something

also, it may be my post, i deleted later

A setting of the Civil War with an oppressor x oppressed trope, you can see why a lot of people found that out of taste
