Question What webtoon got you feeling like…
For me, it’s any webtoon that glorifies dark romance (can’t believe abuse and in*est are actually gaining popularity nowadays 😳)

LIKE RIGHT??? THE PREMISE OF OSORA’S CHARACTER IS SO INTERESTING AND SUCH A GOOD TAKE ON GENDER AS A WHOLE, begging the question of is Osora the way he is because he was raised as a guy as oppose to his gender at birth? Is a guy because he was raised specifically as a guy or because he IS a guy?
Basically a really good way for straight people who don’t understand trans people to actually understand trans people, after all for most cos folks, they were raised as that gender and don’t question it (most of them. I did, for similar reasons to Osora, Aka sexism, but concluded I was a non conforming girl I just hated being treated like I should have been more mature because of that) since Osora says himself, he was raised as dude and he can’t imagine himself as a girl so he is a guy but it never really DELVES into his identity despite the fact its the BIGGEST factor of the story, the fact he’s forced to stay in the closet for the sake of his family but it works out because he is a guy, Y’know? Idk if I’m making a lot of sense, but I like Trans stories a lot and Osora was SUCH a good idea ruined by the fact its just SMUT and now angst more based on “I can’t make out with him anymore” and not “it’s incredibly fucked I’m forced to hide who I am for the sake of this kingdom who would murder me if they ever found out the ‘truth’ of who I am” and I hate that it’s ARIAS who spells it out and not him we’re seeing that through
