[hi 🫧 @theereaderer]

my 2 cents : authors taking accountability for any criticism is extremely rare so this was a pleasant surprise.

i don’t think it matters whether the discomfort with the story’s premise and characters was universal.

once something becomes directly associated with major crimes against humanity, the voices of the communities most affected by that history, namely black americans, the native americans and even americans more broadly who are conscious of that historical legacy and its impact on present day society, carry much more weight than the opinions of random readers who only want to enjoy bl regardless of context.

civil war/confederate/slave master heir yaoi was NOT a good choice 😬 korean editors likely did not have the cultural context or sensitivity needed to flag the issue before it premiered but thankfully they were able to recognize the problem and cancel it. there’s a lot that bypasses common sense in bl because we know to dissociate it from reality, but such a setting makes that entirely impossible.

given how big jaxx is, this will probably end up serving as an example for the industry, which is ultimately a good thing.

and considering how talented she is, it’s probably better for that talent to be put toward a story that’s not built around such a historically insensitive core.

those who are disappointed should probably take a good look at themselves and imagine how they’d feel if a similar story circled around their own community’s historical grief.

those who have no historical grief to refer to are too privileged to deserve a voice in the discussion im afraid.

and those who simply don’t care should just say that, instead of pretending like the story wasn’t an issue. it’s more respectable than acting so disingenuous.

this is why i don’t even respect jaxx’s apology lmfao cause it should’ve never been done in the first place. she’s apologized and cancelled the work but black and indigenous readers are still left to deal with racist ass fujos who feel betrayed for not getting their slave yaoi

yall ever think about how jayce could’ve just hugged viktor when he got sent back instead of blasting a hole thru his chest and viktor would’ve seen his memories and prolly been horrified and prolly stopped doing whatever he was doing and prolly stayed alive with jayce #arcane
