a dumb, where I get to release my thoughts on what I like...

Still crazy to me how confident in his skills Mokyeon was… he knows Nanjo’s body so well he can make him faint whenever he wants to 😮‍💨😮‍💨

@fathermokyeon But i mean... why put the Badum right in the point where Nanjo's arm touches Mokeon's chest? Let's be delulu

@sparx555 Without doing the due diligence needed to tackle the story. She admitted it, and you can infer it from her statement that it could've been worse. I was also open to tge story but she's a grown person with a company behind. They meassured the risks and made a choice accordingly.

[Reiko @kujiraib]

@sparx555 The best pieces of fiction are the ones that borrowed from real life. To not respect real events and their repercussions as they were is a disservice. I don't agree with the extreme backlash she recieved, but this is a professional artist who chose a specific event +

@DanRim_ I'm happy they'll be back, but now I'm worried 😔

[Reiko @kujiraib]

@marznotforu I read the petition, they talk as if everything is unfounded and no big deal, freedom in art does not work like that... these kinds of things do more damage than good to the author.

[Reiko @kujiraib]

I can't stop thinking about it, she could've held back and revise the story so that it delivers on the premise and the delicate setting, yet she chose to not go forward with it... makes you think that she could've done something irreversible to her career had she continued.

[Reiko @kujiraib]

OMG THIS!!!!! I doubt she wasn't pressured by the company but she still knows her work best, if she's openly admitting the delicate themes were gonna be treated lightly then it was prob the right choice.

[Tia 🌻✨ @Tia___56]

@dooshikswife Right?? They’re like “authors have feelings” but so do everyone else? If someone didn’t like the horrifying history being used as an aesthetic for a story then no one has the right to discredit them, I had my reservations but seeing it get cancelled means it was gonna get worse

[Reiko @kujiraib]

Many fans talk as if BL itself isn't highly problematic and inaccurate of queer relationships. But in this case, if JAXX is admitting that they didn't do their due diligence for the critism being made, then maybe they took the right desicion.

황야의 노래 (Song of the wasteland) 판매 중단에 관하여 알려드립니다. 책임을 무겁게 느끼고 앞으로 신중한 작품활동을 하고자 자의로 결정한 바입니다. 더 나은 작업물로 찾아뵙겠습니다.

To readers,

I humbly accept the criticism that several scenes in Episode 1 contained disrespectful depictions of other cultures and people.
Even if the direction and themes of the story differ from what you may be concerned about, I have decided not to launch the work, as the fundamental limitations of this project's premise are clear.
I believe this situation has revealed my complacent attitude toward human rights sensitivity when handling a specific era and setting, and that my storytelling lacked sufficient care and nuance. I am deeply ashamed.
In my eagerness to focus on the characters, I failed to fully recognize that I was replicating problematic historical contexts and representational tropes found in past works.
I also deeply resonate with the criticism that the characterization in question was not something to be treated lightly within a genre like BL.
What I had told myself was passion for the storiesl, I now recognize as arrogance. I was not as prepared or as careful as this story required me to be.

I apologize for any displeasure caused to you, and I will carry this reflection with me as I continue.

Sincierly, JAXX

독자님들께.

1화의 몇 장면에서 타문화와 타인에 대한 무례한 묘사가 보인다는 비판을 겸허히 받아들입니다.
앞으로의 전개나 주제가 ���정하시는 바와 다르다고 해도, 이 프로젝트의 설정 자체에 근본적 한계가 명확하기에, 작품은 런칭하지 않는 것으로 결정했습니다.
이번 일로 특정 시대와 배경을 다루는 데 있어 저의 안일한 인권 감수성이 드러났다고 생각하며, 연출에서의 섬세함 또한 부족했다고 생각합니다. 무척 부끄럽습니다.
주인공에 초점을 맞춰 그린다는 생각에 몰입하다 보니 역사적 맥락과 그간 창작물들이 잘못해 온 표현 방식을 답습했다는 부분을 제대로 인지하지 못했습니다.
장르물에서 가볍게 다룰만한 캐릭터 설정이 아니라는 지적에도 깊이 공감했습니다.
소재에 대한 욕심이 결국 오만함으로 표출된 것 같아 ��성하며 자신을 돌아보고 있습니다.
작업물에 대한 비판은 무거운 마음으로 수용하겠습니다.
감상에 불편을 드려 죄송합니다.

@no_watch_no This is completely true. But I also think it doesn't necessarily erase that some BL authors do care about being more accurate in representation of gay couples. In cherry Magic there were hints of it, for example.

[Reiko @kujiraib]

@vex_valor I still remember that miny arc of Adachi and Kurosawa being frustrated because they couldn't find a place that accepted them... for RENT!!!

i hope they switch 😋

@MDG317 @9428il @mglmak9 Oh no, I get that, but I was also keeping in mind the experience of many mixed asians, specially in Jp and Sk. The experience for them seems to vary a lot just by their skin color. And I know there is the historical context too
