Understandable if it's not your type of thing. I don't really know how accurate it is to the source material, but I don't think it's THAT accurate. I was just letting you know in case you were misguided into thinking it was like a censored BL. It technically is, but it's mainly focused on revenge and morality, which is what I think most people love about it anyway. I'm personally quite annoyed at the BL-ification of everything too. Although, the Untamed will always have a place in my heart lol,
Ah, the Untamed is based off gay source material, but the series itself isn't gay in the slightest. There are bromance moments, but I personally never thought it ever felt romantic at all. Everything else about it is stellar though. Once you get into the storyline, you REALLY get into the storyline.
I'm glad Lee Junho (Attorney Woo) is number one. He's the literal definition of a green flag. I've never seen a healthier love interest, even if everyone thought he was boring.
Honestly, I find it weird how people are defending her? Not that I think she deserves to be thrown in jail or sent death threats at all, but some people are really defending her writing about r**e and stuff???
Extreme r**e depictions in other works is that they're usually portrayed in a negative manner. One where the assailant IS the antagonist or they're deliberately doing something bad to a character so we're supposed to hate them. Oftentimes this is even paired with a story of trauma and healing. The difference between those and her works is that she uses them as a way to try making us LIKE that character. That a drunk r**e scene or just one in general is supposed to be "cute" and make the couple shippable (ex: Techno and Kengkla). I know BL isn't supposed to be LGBTQ+ representation, but even if BL is aimed mainly towards straight girls, it still teaches them that r**e is okay and even "cute" because one of their favorite onscreen couples did it.
As for simply "avoiding" her work, it's more difficult than one might assume. For me, I watched LBC, TT, etc, because of the ACTORS. I wanted to complete TT because of the story, yet that doesn't take away from the discomfort of me knowing about the end of ep 1. Regardless if I skip that scene or not, it doesn't retract from the couple's roots LITERALLY starting from that point. Am I just supposed to skip it and think they're a cute af couple??? Me loving Mew and Gulf isn't going to detract my dislike for Tharn and Type, nor would it for MAME. I can still watch LBC while loathing Techno and Kengkla's storyline and not like MAME because she wrote it. Plus, not everyone who is easily trigged by r**e will even know about it beforehand. In LBC, it doesn't even happen until nearly the end.
So like, I'm not saying she should be thrown in jail, but if someone doesn't like her because she romanticizes r**e (which she DOES and we all know it) then why try fighting how they feel? They're allowed to dislike and complain about her just as some might like and praise her (so long as they're not sending death threats, etc). People react differently to r**e so if you aren't personally triggered by it, then you can't just tell someone who is to not be. They shouldn't HAVE TO avoid whole series (that are super popular too) in order to avoid stuff like romanticized r**e.
Honestly, if you're not Korean and FROM Korea, I don't think you should have a say in whether knetz deserve to be offended or not. If it's not your culture, your heritage, and your history then obviously you aren't going to feel the same feelings from it. Not only with the Chinese props, but also disrespecting some of the most revered historical figures in the country. Korean people are highly patriotic and regardless if it's labeled "fantasy" or not, the producers probably SHOULD'VE known the public wouldn't take too kindly to it. Please try to be more understanding in this situation. Just as how international fans have a "right" to be offended over things like racism in the Korean industry, Koreans should be able to be offended at their own history being disrespected.
Try this link IDK if it’ll work tho:https://wetv.vip/biu/channel/trending?id=404share_en&rlk=https%3A%2F%2Fwetv.vip%2Fstatic%2Factive%2Fvote-rank%2Findex.html%3FactityId%3D111284%26lang%3Den&ptag=5_3.4.2.5313_system

Sorry for the long rant.
