Unpopular opinion: the Boyfriends webtoon wasn’t as bad as people made it out to be
I’m honestly kind of amazed that this is a hot take or anything but if you genuinely believe that the Boyfriends Webtoon is “harmful fetishism of gay men,” you have swallowed a transphobic smear campaign hook, line and sinker. Like, gee, I wonder why the runaway success webcomic that’s a happy slice-of-life about a polyamorous gay relationship where one of the guys is trans is being held up as the Worst Thing That Exists since it was showcased in an ad campaign? Can’t be because the author is a trans man. Why on Earth would people who hate trans men accuse one of “fetishizing gay men” by creating gay smut? Of course not, obviously they’re allies, considering they cannot be bothered to gender Refrainbow correctly 90% of the time they talk about him. Obviously it’s just harmless joshing around when most of the comments under a post talking about it are variations on “this comic makes me wanna commit so many hate crimes.” It’s just venting, y'all! It’s not the right representation! And you know what happens when you find media that doesn’t appeal specifically to you, right? You demonize the sexuality of a trans man from Indonesia! Because that’s how you get more queer comics.
I picked up the manga version of ‘Boyfriends’ recently and I am a little astounded by the hate it has online,,, it’s cute, silly even, but also very healthy way to show polyamory.
Not every source of gay media needs to end in tragedy and have something horrific happen to the characters. Yes please feed me more lgbtqia+ cheesy romance stories 🫴🏻

Reading the Boyfriends Webtoon right now and hot take?
Y'all fucking lied, this shit’s fucking adorable as hell.
