although i don't support "sex" work or most of the "sexual" content in circulation. i believe cutting riwon's scenes from the dating show was too harsh a response to her past. she came out as a lesbian, and if she's sincere, her courage in coming out warrants a chance for her to participate in lesbian dating shows and potentially find love
celebrities everywhere should learn to keep their private lives private. some asian idols do that and establish boundaries between their public and private lives. we don't need to know who they "date" or "marry." and gay isn't a fetish
"gay" undergoing a shift in meaning from "happy" to "homosexual" took decades and resulted from colloquial usage. it wasn't a deliberate ideological effort. drawing parallels between this gradual change and the rapid redefinition of identity terms in today's society would be inappropriate and misguided
my usage of "gay" combines its historical meaning of happiness with its contemporary meaning of homosexuality. i perceive homosexuality as an expression of joy or pride that shines with the brightness and variety of a rainbow. i'm happy and homosexual
accepting people and their beliefs are two separate matters. you don't accept my beliefs, do you? why would i accept tq+ beliefs? challenging beliefs isn't arrogance. it's an exercise in critical thinking
your simplified perspective on language development neglects the potential harm that comes from thoughtless shifts in how we define and use words
the (d)evolution of language has been a slow, organic process throughout history. it occurred over extended periods. rapid, forced changes are different and disrupt or break down communication. people talk past each other rather than with each other. this might not be apparent to those contributing to the problem
demanding constant accommodation for tq+ feelings and false identities isn't a sustainable or mature approach to social progress. it's entitled. in time, you'll grow and recognize the truth of what i've shared with you
It seems to me that deleting a contestant just for having made adult content is unfair to the contestant and insulting…
expressing dissent towards "sexual" content is neither nonsensical nor absurd. it reflects the diverse beliefs present in society. suppressing these dissenting voices amounts to imposing a singular sex-positive belief on others, which is a form of "moral" policing in itself
language relies on collective agreement and understanding to establish the meaning of words. those of you espousing the belief that words have no meaning continue to communicate, assuming that others will interpret your words based on shared definitions. if your beliefs guided your behavior, your silence would've spoken louder than your words
within reasonable bounds, the manner in which we use language can change. the changes to "man," "woman," "gay," or "lesbian" demanded by gender identity ideology damage the flow of communication and go beyond the limits of what's reasonable. the rest of society shouldn’t be obligated to go along with them
self-identification doesn't override reality. people aren't entitled to lie and make false claims about who they are. as such, i don’t believe in the legitimacy of "trans" or "non-binary" (tq+) identities
"gay" and "lesbian" have a history and context exclusive to same-sex attraction. expanding them to include "straight" and bisexual identifying people undermines the unique experiences of the community those words are meant to represent. it's erasure
people should take the specific context and circumstances into account before advising against divorce. divorce is the most suitable solution in an abusive relationship, not just for the abused parent’s safety, but also for the emotional wellbeing of the children. children might struggle to understand the rationale behind it, but they'll come to appreciate its necessity as they grow up and mature
It is...kind of homophobic, because you can obviously tell the screen writers didn't really know what to write…
thank you for sharing your opinion. i must confess that my reading of the situation differs from yours. i believe the "straight" story took away from the focus on non-straight characters and their experiences. it defined us by our struggles and differences from "straight" identifying people, rather than by our individual identities, personalities, and stories
non-straight experiences are valid and understandable, even when they're not framed in relation to "straight" experiences
So a long time ago, people used to write slash fiction about two heterosexual characters falling in love and having…
a substantial portion of viewers have been outspoken about their distaste for omegaverse ever since "pit babe" premiered its first season. our conflicting perspectives were lost amid the abundance of positive comments, and you couldn't see them
omegaverse relies heavily on the unhealthy power dynamic between alphas and omegas. the introduction of pheromones and heat cycles creates an environment where the ability of alphas and omegas to make independent decisions about their lives or relationships is compromised. they're forced to be together. alphas prey on omegas in heat. and omegas in heat are weak, helpless, or unable to protect themselves from the predatory advances of alphas
in omegaverse, the phrase "boys will be boys" isn't a tired excuse. it's the law of the land, and that's one of the reasons i don't support the genre. another reason is that it's homophobic and sexist. in its pursuit to do away with female characters, omegaverse paradoxically (ab)uses the female ability to go into heat and give birth to determine a character's desirability. it turns men into hyper-masculine women capable of pregnancy, implying that men and their gay relationships, as they are, aren't desirable or good enough
the gay community has been championing self-love and self-acceptance. omegaverse sends a different message. it tells gay people to change themselves and follow the traditional heteronormative family structure. one parent is the man in the relationship, the other is the woman in the relationship, and having children is the outcome
some gay people struggle with internalized homophobia and feel inferior. "i wish i had [insert body part or ability of the opposite sex]," they say. omegaverse exploits and exacerbates those feelings of inadequacy and envy
i've just started watching, and i'm blown away by the beauty of this adaptation. the script, the acting, the chemistry, the camerawork
the bond between the male leads is special. one of them goes from drifting through life to being filled with a sense of joy and purpose by the presence of the other. he slowly remembers what it means to feel "alive." what these men have is more than chemistry. in their union, they find wholeness and healing
I finally read Heesu in class 2 manhwa and Ill have come to the conclusion that whoever wrote this drama is either…
a touching gay narrative was compromised and diminished by the forced inclusion of heteronormativity, and that speaks volumes about the producers' homophobic biases
This show should've been in the hands of people who care about the BL community and their fans. Saying this again:…
couldn't agree more, bl or gay works should be adapted by those committed to preserving them and their authenticity. those who twist and straightwash them to pander to society's homophobic attitudes have lost the privilege of being involved in such creative projects
I agree I really enjoyed the show, but it felt like it focused so much on the straight relationship that heesu’s…
it's natural for us to feel let down when a drama or movie doesn't reach its full potential
our critiques, though they might be misinterpreted by some people, come from a place of genuine care and a recognition that the drama could've been better than it was. nothing is perfect, and there's always room for improvement <3
Funny how people pay to see murder, bulling, violence but avoid sex like its the biggest sin out.
narrative value is determined by content that elevates the story or overall experience. it could be argued that "sexual" content, designed to arouse and toy with the viewers' emotions, doesn't have that narrative value. its softcore pornographic elements mostly propagate unrealistic and damaging stereotypes about "sex" and relationships
18+ age restrictions on "violent" and "sexual" content are in place to prevent potential harm to minors. adults are different and our tolerance varies. some might tolerate "violence" and object to "sexual" content. others might tolerate "sexual" content and object to "violence." none of you are wrong. what you're comfortable exposing yourselves to is a personal decision
it’s worth noting that objections to "sexual" content go beyond questions of morality. some adults have negative reactions to it as it reminds them of memories related to distressing "sexual" experiences in their lives. they might've been assaulted, or worse. i make a conscious effort not to shame them for their decision to avoid "sexual" content. i focus my criticism on the content itself
i agree with that: https://kisskh.at/780270-neoui-yeonae#comment-22079718
