#people hate stereotypical tropey men that are specifically written that way for the trope

[isekyaaa]

Reading the spoilers of otome light novels always be like, "Wow, people really hate men."

#rambles #I KNOW I COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS A LOT OKAY LEAVE ME ALONE #I JUST........... #NUANCE #PEOPLE HATE NUANCE AND IT SUCKS #PEOPLE HATE COMPLEXITY #AND MOSTLY #people hate stereotypical tropey men that are specifically written that way for the trope #'i hate how possessive and dismissive he is of mc!!!' #it's the same level of idiocy as going to the circus and being mad at the clowns #if you want to read a story about the perfect politically correct male lead find some chronically online girl's book on tiktok #like look okay let me be honest here #when i go to isekai manhwa as my medium of entertainment choice i embody those middle aged women reading smutty novels abt guys named knut #i don't go in expecting quality okay i'm not an idiot #i go in expecting a specific fix to be filled #and if that specific fix is a possessive dismissive male lead then by the almighty god himself one must do as one must #now let me be clear like.... i am complaining about two things here #one: readers don't like nuanced complex men #two: readers do not like genre-specific stereotypical men #these two things are not the same okay #possessive stereotypical men are not nuanced or complex... BUT BY JOVE THEY HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO EXIST #SHITTY STEREOTYPICAL MEN ARE JUST AS ENJOYABLE AS NUANCED AND COMPLEX MEN #it's so funny that people go into otome manhwa expecting q u a l i t y #this is the modern woman's equivalent of those trashy novels our grandmothers read #we are no better than them #i really just want to go into reading spoilers where everyone is on the same page of 'okay so we all just have terrible taste amiright' #tho tbh writing all of this i should be more forgiving of people that love crappy reader-inserts on this website #but lmao no i am not i have way better taste than they ever will whoops u//w//u
