some reactions to the jaxx case is pissing me off so much i need to take a break from bl fandom (AGAIN lol). in the end i hope creators can learn from this and that they stay strong, sensible and respectful. and i hope these keyboard warriors would stop with their entitlement
@aneonmoor I was honestly really looking forward to this bl and I felt like the outcry was far too premature but I’m both glad and impressed that they came to this decision so fast before it was too late. I really hope they’ll use this time to cook up something better!
honestly I was really hoping sotw would work out but I respect jaxx for nipping it in the bud to prevent further possible controversy from arising. this is better than getting further into the story and finding certain events or cultures being written poorly
I wonder what happened to the painter of the night modern au? I clearly remember her showing some panels. Or was that just a one off thing? or was that part of the Lezhin collab? lol
it’s right to be skeptical but let’s give the author the benefit of the doubt bc such gotcha moment criticism isn’t doing the creative community any favors. I won’t hesitate to drop if it gets bad but if you actually read the 1st chapter, you’ll know literally nothing happened
i need ppl to stop comparing the new jaxx story to what the japanese did in the early 1900s. different histories, different contexts, different outcomes. i actually recommend you all to read unblossomed, a very good bl about a doomed japanese/korean romance set during that period
The kindest thing literature does is remind you that your peculiar little feelings have always existed. Someone, in some century, was equally confused by love, bored by society, tired of performing, and hungry for meaning.
but having said that i absolutely understand if ppl aren’t comfortable with this story and i respect their decision to not read it. i just want the best fandom experience for the everyone. as you can see i am very traumatized by that one love triangle bl LMAOOO
the way how ppl are so quick to judge and assume the worst when only one chapter’s been out really shows the state of fandom nowadays. i hope readers will maintain their own critical faculties and curate a good experience for themselves so we can all stay grounded and sane lol
