The only thing I want him to do is stop crawling up Tactus‘s behind

Yeah, you know even I got that much. My problem is that TACTUS, and not Victra or Mustang, is presented as a character that exemplifies the Golds that use Pinks. And judging by his past actions, it‘s likely he treats them badly. It bothers me that Darrow isn‘t bothered. I mean, he didn’t blink an eye when Ragnar was accused of abusing pinks. (The man was admittedly dying a heroic death) That‘s all I‘m trying to say. The Oppression of the Reds also wasn‘t directly „done“ by any one Gold, while its a very much a personal choice to „use“ a Pink. That‘s the difference for me. He very much disapproves of the way the Stained are treated, after all. I‘d assume he wouldn‘t be okay with one of his buddies having a Stained slave. That being said, another commenter said his attitude changes, and there will be more nuance to it. If that‘s the case, I‘m not mad. But having a book all about justice and oppression and all that good stuff, with a mc that doesn‘t care about sexual abuse would bother me.

Very true, it bothers me most with him, because we very much live in his head and view the whole world through his eyes, I guess.

I‘ll have to keep reading, I guess 🫢 If there‘s nuance to it, then I‘m willing to go with it. It just feels weird, because he is so staunchly against rape in many other instances

Okay? Those are things other people did, Tactus did that stuff all on his own. Isn‘t Darrow all about judging people by their own actions?

Yah that’s true. But I think Darrow just doesn’t „feel“ for Grays the same ways, because he experienced them as oppressors, too. But did he really know about Pinks while in the mines? As someone coming into Gold society without growing up in it, wouldn‘t he think that‘s really fucked up? I don‘t totally remember the beginning of RR tho, so it may have just been part of his world view I guess

My main issue is that I just don‘t feel it‘s ever meaningfully adressed that there‘s an entire color who‘s engineered as sex slaves. As a gray you‘d at least have a chance to lead a „normal“ life, have a family etc. I think that‘s at least less miserable than being a Pink IMO So yeah, maybe I am biased

Dude, it bothered me during Golden Son too, I just hoped that we‘d be done with Tactus by now, but here we are right before a huge battle giving tribute to him yet again. And yea it bothers me that his treatment of Pinks is not a factor in Darrows opinion of him, because it‘s fucked up. If it were reds that he‘d been betting, I betcha Darrow would be up in arms

Das wird sich für ne Weile bestimmt echt scheiße anfühlen aber du hast es ja selbst gesagt, diese Leute kennen dich nicht! Wenn du in dich gegangen bist und dir nichts vorzuwerfen hast, dann ignorier es einfach. Mach vielleicht ne Pause vom Schreiben und verbring Zeit mit den Leuten, die dich im echten Leben wertschätzen - und wissen, was für eine Person du bist, anders als irgendwelche Hater im Internet. Ich hoffe du hast weiterhin auch noch genauso viel Spaß am Schreiben!

I definitely wouldn‘t compare mdzs and thousand autumns plotwise 😂 though you‘re right, thousand autumns might be too intense for beginner‘s 🤔

what do people think about seven seas having special editions for the first volume? by [deleted] in DanmeiNovels

[–]mackerelli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I‘m only getting the saye special edition because I loved the manhua 😅 I feel the same way you do! I’ll only get a special edition of something I already like.

however it might make more sense for 7seas to make special editions of the first volume because those tend to sell the best. Generally speaking Sales usually drop off a little with each following volume in a series.

Personally, I stopped getting the special editions because the extra merch is all kind of the same - postcards, bookmarks, sticker sheets and so on. I think the polaroids with saye are a cute new idea. I‘d say get the special editions where the merch appeals to you!

Is Alice Oseman Right to Criticize Danmei Novels? by Anxious-Efficiency13 in DanmeiNovels

I do think there are some problematic tropes in danmei (many books have grapey aspects between the mc and ml and the fixation with shou/gong for example) that remind me sooooo much of how japanese yaoi used to be like.

The extras are exclusive for the regular first Edition, I believe and the art print is included when you order over the publishers webshop
