I like how everyone just knows agrees in unison that Cutie Pie was horrendous.đđđ
I appreciate what the show was trying to do in terms of representation, but I found the execution lacking. While the LGBTQ+ themes are important, I felt the drama relied too heavily on problematic tropes and surface-level activism rather than meaningful storytelling. The romanticized power imbalances and repetitive conflicts undermined the progressive messaging for me.
That said, I completely respect that it resonates with you and others in the queer community! Different stories click for different people. I just wish it had delivered its good intentions with more substance behind them.
At a certain extent, I agree with you. There's too much emphasis over Joss' pelvis. Like, I already got it, Mark…
THIS. You articulated perfectly what I've been feeling about the show's framing. The pelvic close-ups and costuming choices absolutely feel gratuitous - like you said, we get Mark's virility without the underwear needing to be a neon sign. A more subtle approach would have been just as effective while feeling less objectifying.
What really resonates with me is your point about audience behavior. The show's direction may invite sexualization, but viewers absolutely have a responsibility to engage respectfully. Joss brings so much nuance and talent to his roles - his physicality is just one facet of a multidimensional performer. I wish more fans would appreciate his craft with the same enthusiasm they show for... other attributes.
I totally agree with you on that last point. Yes, their chemistry is amazing, but the idea that Joss is just seen…
Hard disagree. The director isnât reducing Joss to just his bodyâtheyâre highlighting his presence, and yeah, that includes his physique. If heâs confident enough to own it, why act like itâs some kind of insult? Not every focus on physicality is objectification. Just because you read it that way doesnât mean the show does.
Why Nakan didn't drain Tong dead? He could've done it if he wanted he's stronger then Tong. And why did Nakan…
Its like Nakan is smart and knows when to attack. I think most villains are written to make the hero smart when the villain is supposed to be smart, don't make it easy, I want drama!
here's my unpopular opinionthe director needs to acknowledge that Joss is a talented actor and not a piece of…
I totally agree with you on that last point. Yes, their chemistry is amazing, but the idea that Joss is just seen as a piece of meat? Absolutely not. Like, hello? If I were Joss and built like that, Iâd be showing off my body tooâwhy work that hard for nothing? Girl, be so fr right now.
Honestly, sameâI'm not really a fan of GMMTV either. But I do agree with you on one thing: Gawin and Joss are lowkey killing it with their kiss scenes. Girl, they did kiss on the cheeks! Donât try to gaslight me into thinking otherwise. If they can pull off those intense on-screen kisses and have that kind of chemistry, what makes you think a cheek kiss is out of the question?
Darling, there's a vast difference between being 'critical of fiction' and being so emotionally invested in hating something that you write manifestos about it. Your visceral disgust toward omegaverse speaks volumes - mainly about your own limitations. The beauty of fiction is that no one's forcing you to engage with tropes you dislike, yet here you are, wasting your precious 'every fiber' on something you could simply... ignore. How tragic to be this obsessed with what brings others joy. But by all means, keep screaming into the void - the rest of us will be too busy enjoying creative freedom to notice your tantrums. đ
Oh, bless your heartâdid you really just try to apply real-world biology to fictional omegaverse dynamics? Thatâs like complaining that dragons donât follow the laws of aerodynamics. The entire point of fictionâespecially fantasy and AU genresâis to imagine things differently. Omegaverse isnât claiming to be a documentary; itâs a creative exploration of gender and power dynamics.
And your weird insistence that omegas âmustâ be women with masc appearances or âhumanoidsâ? Hilarious. By that logic, every sci-fi/fantasy story with non-human reproduction is âstraightââwhich, newsflash, is not how fiction, biology, or queer storytelling works. Maybe step outside your rigid little box before declaring what can or canât exist in made-up worlds.
But hey, if you need every story to fit your narrow, binary view of humanity to enjoy it, thatâs a you problem. The rest of us will be over here enjoying creative freedom while you seethe over fictional knotting. Stay pressed. đ
