The amount of comments i made( which i don't know why) and seeing other people comments. They literally tried…
I’ve been in many fandoms, including stories that deal with themes just as dark, if not darker, than this one, and I’ve rarely seen this level of hostility.
The saddest part is that this story offered so much to discuss, yet the fandom reduced every conversation to a moral purity test.
People should have been able to discuss the writing, the adaptation choices, the characters, the relationships, and the themes without being personally judged or morally interrogated.
I hope I never run into this kind of behaviour again in discussions about dark romance, because it completely killed any possibility of meaningful conversation.
The new trailers are extremely sweet (except for Yi Chen Junior being Yi Chen Junior 😂), but I need to know why Lu Feng was having an existential crisis while staring at himself in the mirror 👀🤔
I would say that reminding of moral values is good so that no one forgets that this is not acceptable IRL but…
I actually agree with you. To me, platforms like this should be places for discussion, and if we’re here, it’s precisely to exchange different opinions and perspectives.I don’t need people to agree with me, and honestly I don’t care about being right.
I just want to be able to express my opinion (whether it’s positive or negative) without being personally attacked for it.
In this comment section specifically, I’ve seen some pretty serious accusations being thrown around. People have been accused of justifying rape or even having mental disorders simply because they enjoy the series or have a different interpretation of a character.
Personally, I find that unacceptable, and that’s what I meant when I said that this comment section has ruined part of the experience for me. Not the disagreement itself, but the way some discussions immediately become personal.
Thank God this series is ending, because the moral police have genuinely ruined the experience for me. I’m sure I’m not the only one who just wanted to share an opinion in peace without being psychoanalyzed over their feelings about FICTIONAL characters.
I find it really weird that everyone hates the younger brother so much. I understand thinking he’s annoying…
What if I dislike the brother? Should I get your approval first? 😏
People are allowed to have different opinions on fictional characters. Calling it “weird” when they don’t agree with you, and saying you’re “concerned” by their reasoning, comes across as far more judgmental than simply disliking a character.
At the end of the day, it’s fiction. Nobody needs permission to hate the brother, love Lu Feng, hate Lu Feng, or hate them both.
Day is WAY worse than Lu Feng and many other characters, yet I’ve never seen this level of outrage about him…
Day kidnaps Itt because he believes Itt is responsible for harming his brother and wants revenge. He deliberately targets him, takes him to his house, and keeps him captive. While Itt is imprisoned, Day subjects him to repeated physical, verbal, and sexual abuse, treating him more as an outlet for his anger than as a person. Over time, Itt develops a traumatic attachment to Day, which is why many readers compare their dynamic to Stockholm syndrome. From that point on, their relationship becomes deeply codependent, with both of them unable to let go of each other despite the abuse and damage that formed the foundation of their bond.
