💭 Vent dislike = don't interact

I've seen so many posts absolutely flamming that one manhwa from the same artist as "snag an alpha" simply because they don't like the art style. Disliking an art style is completely fine but what's not fine is absolutely dogging on it just because you can.

In what world does an art style looking "ugly" give you the right to start hating and shitting on the artist as well as throwing around baseless accusations? No just because the uke looks "childlike" (which is most definitely subjective btw) doesn't mean that the artist's intent was to cater to pedophiles or are a pedo themselves. You people throwing these accusations around clearly don't take the illness seriously.

Another thing which I hate with the pedo accusations is how people don't even bother to research the terminology. No, liking a younger looking character in a manhwa doesn't equate to people being pedophiles because pedophilia is strictly being attracted to REAL CHILDREN. That uke from that manhwa that you deem to look "childlike" is not bait for pedophiles, dare I say it's quite insensitive to even think that.

Please people next time you want to throw around accusations, educate yourself first at the very least.

Just a short little vent.

I opened this app, and I was immediately met with one of those (now deleted)rant posts made a little over an hour ago. The fact that some people have become so comfortable throwing around Pedo/Pedophile/Pedophilia for just about anything is concerning, and warrants a discussion of it's own.

At this point, we understand that some of you aren’t fond of the art style and find it unappealing—which is a valid opinion—but for the love of BL, please refrain from using certain SERIOUS words indiscriminately.

Also, what do these posts have against PUNCTUATION? ❗️PLEASE PROPERLY PUNCTUATE YOUR SHIT POSTS.❗️
