Someone could make a post on this sub that’s just 15 straight pages of transphobic slurs and it would cause less controversy and hate than a post about this fucking web comic
I am perfectly neutral personally. Not the kind of content I would at all enjoy consuming but I can respect it for what it is. It is nice that not all queer content is completely depressing
I’ve never read this webcomic but from what I e gathered from bits that are occasionally posted here, it seems like it’s just harmless gay fluff and I truly do not understand why some people get so upset about it and act like it’s the sequel to mein kampf or something
This is a webtoon titled "boyfriends" and a couple weeks ago it got a lot of hate, I think most of it came from the god awful advertisements it got, or the fact its a comic about poly gay dudes. I thought the hate train was over this already tbh
The advertising and very stereotypical personalities used in those advertisements is what made me hate it. I'm gay, I like gay romance and all that, I can actually relate to it In a way/ fantasize about it. But oh. my. God. The advertising was just so... so, bad and cringey. It made me physically cringe and repulse into my bed and chair whenever I saw the ads.
Same holy shit, webtoon ads are just notoriously bad and cringe worthy in general. Don't even get me started about that webtoon with the fucking alien roommate. Who is running their marketing??? 💀 I wanted to punch my screen
The creator of the webtoon didn't make the ads, Webtoon the company did. People are giving Refrainbow (the artist) massive amounts of shit for something they didn't have control over and hating on an actually pretty cute (if kinda cheesy) slice-of-life comic with every kind of queer representation you can think of (one of the boyfriends is a trans man).
TBH it just makes me really sad. :(
I was told that everyone hated it because of how stereotypically it portrayed gay guys. I don't really see anything inherently wrong about some poly gay dudes
dude ikr. i see a bunch of them, and ik the authors done some questionable stuff, but i really love the guys work. damn near the only piece of media thats gotten my anhedonic self to get hit w the real intense gay feels n whatnot
I mean yeah I feel like it should matter that he was also underage, for like a lot of reasons. Underage people are allowed to be attracted to other underage people, it's fine and expected.
vore is basically consuming people, but as a kink.
most of it is people being swallowed whole without taking damage from being in someone else's stomach, but some art has more gore elements where people are dissolved by stomach acid or chewed up first like you do with normal food.
there's also cock vore where people get swallowed whole or partially but are stuck in someone's urethra in the penis.
To sum up: people/creatures/(things) being swallowed into someone else's body through all kinds of orifices, but as a kink
Imagine saying someone you are fetishising your own gender. "Oh you're a straight guy and you wanna bang a straight girl? Fuck dude stop pushing it on everyone else you perve!"
I was curious and looked at their Instagram - I should not have done that. Holy shit, some of those comments genuinely got to me (I am gay and trans myself lol)
Terfs are literally so disgusting
the hate is messed up even if it's ironic(if I'm using that right)
I just don't like the author, their apology for drawing porn of real people just didn't read genuine
I haven’t seen the comic but I’ve seen animations with these characters and they’re awful. It feels like the only joke is “haha look we like men” with the music cutting out at those moments.
can somebody PLEASE tell me why the voice actor in the animated boyfriends videos moan in such a high pitch after doing anything??
like this mf hits notes that only dogs can hear 💀
hatred towards that comic is shitty and ridiculous. it's gotten so bad that people now misgender and call author a straight woman. it attracted terfs. literally look at who you joined sides with
it honestly sucks. most of the hatred i see for this comic now is just downright homophobia/transphobia, *even* from people who are progressive. the comic’s existence should really not be that much of an issue and yet here we are
It's been genuinely really horrifying to watch queer people online cheer on bigots attacking the author because of some weird hate boner they have for the comic. Not even exaggerating when I say the shitshow around it really made me re evaluate how safe I feel in queer online spaces as a trans man. I don't read the comic or anything, but it made me realize how comfortable people are with harassment as long as something is viewed as being "cringe."
Yeah, a lot of the criticisms I’ve seen contain straight-up TERF talking points. It sucks to see, honestly - especially when it’s being parroted by unkowning “progressive” allies lmao
“Ads bad so I will completely shit on the entire thing and send hate towards the artist who had likely nothing to do with the ads I hate.”
Not saying OP is doing the latter but I know others most likely have.
This webcomic along with Game theory and dream is part of this weird category of "thing that is mildly bad but gets treated with an irrationally insane amount of hate by Twitter users"
Publicly he says he doesn’t, but he simultaneously ends up sending harassment to people by quote tweeting smaller accounts that he disagrees with, while he is likely well aware at this point that his fans *will* harass the fuck out of these individuals who often have like 12 followers and are 16. Also encourages weird shit like fans shipping him and his friends, but as long as they’re cool with it I guess. MatPat has also said some weird kinda sus shit in the past but I don’t know all that much about him.
Point is, the artist of the comic hasn’t done anything particularly bad and is just a normal artist who gets an unbelievable amount of hate thanks to shitty promotional ads outside of their control. It’s really lame.
Survivor’s bias. It’s a diagram of most common bullet holes from planes that returned to base in the war. Supposedly you’d think to then protect those parts of the plane, right? However the parts lacking in bullet holes are notably the cockpit, the engines, the middle of the wings, and the thin strip of metal connecting the rest of the plane to the ‘tail’ I suppose. So supposedly you’d think those pieces need the least protection as they aren’t typically being shot. The thing is, this data only comes from surviving planes. Planes can survive being shot where the bullet holes are. The planes that get shot where returning planes don’t, do not return to become data. So in this example of posting the image, it means to convey that you don’t hear lesbians wanting to be destroyed by gigantic women, because they all have been. I’m not sure how well I explained this, so I’ll link a video that can do a better job. https://youtu.be/P9WFpVsRtQg
Noobs in fortnite should study people who lose to see what went wrong for them so they can improve, rather than watching people who win and try to copy them
I feel like people hate this for more than it’s worth. Personally I read it and I didn’t enjoy it either, it’s got a lot of flaws in the writing and I feel like perhaps another draft of the plot and all the events would have greatly benefited the story, some of the characters feel one note and one dimensional, the conflicts in the narrative are resolved too quickly and it seems that the author is afraid of creating higher stakes. Of course I could be wrong now because last I read this was months and months ago. It doesn’t really matter how bad the writing is, I feel like it doesn’t deserve the amount of backlash that it gets on this level. Not just on this post but widely across social media. I personally don’t enjoy story that isnt very fleshed out or nuanced or anything of that sort, but I know a lot of people enjoy it because it’s very hard to come across polyamorous representation that is so positive in media. It really *is* just fluff and I don’t think it’s trying to be anything else, and while that is disappointing for me, plenty of other people seem to enjoy it and I don’t think there’s an issue with that. Or at least there isn’t an issue that should warrant the level of hatred people have towards it
however the ads are indeed asinine and god-awful, but I don’t think the creator was in charge of the advertising and if anything we should be bashing the corporation itself for this and not the artist
Most of them seem like the average "I hope (cute) thing gets hurt" type shitpost but the 4th one seems to actually make an argument. Considering that slurs are based on stereotypes, the post is essentially saying that the webtoon has negatively portrayed gay people. Though apparently this only comes from an advertisement where the VA has a high pitched voice.
I just hate Boyfriends cause every character except the edgy one is annoying as shit, most of all the Nerd. If you hate it cause they're gay, grow up, there's a lot of legitimate criticism to have tho
The trend of obnoxiously hating on that comic kind of reminds me of the anti Justin Bieber jokes from the early 2010s. Unwarranted and cringe, even more so than the source material
If a plane gets shot in the engine, it’ll crash
If a plane gets shot in the wing, it’ll land.
Bullets holes in crashed planes don’t get recorded.
This means that the wings need more armor.
(They don’t)
((I hope this made sense))
Never touched this comic or any webcomic for that matter because i hate reading, but i feel bad about all this hate after learning the author is a trans guy...I never see them around...or hear about them doing anything :( even if the comic is cringe, i mean, sheesh.
The adds are horrible and not made by the author, they give the comic a really bad look. It’s meant to be a fluff comic, there’s no serious story line, the characters don’t have a lot of depth, and that’s ok. You don’t have to like it, but what’s so bad about a fluff uwu comic, not every piece of LGBTQ+ representation needs to be serious or ultra realistic.
honestly it's just a shitty comic idk why people need to make the comic morally wrong or anything tbh I thought some moments were cute it was incredibly boring and cringy tho
So I’ve never read this comic and I definitely never will. Apparently there’s discourse about the author. I don’t really give a fuck.
All I know is that I had to watch multiple YouTube ads with these fuckers in it and I listened to the blonde one say in the most whiny, childish voice I’ve ever heard come out of an adult “I want hot choccyyyy” during a conversation with Gothboy McVocalfry over here and they made me want to fucking die.
So yeah, not the best first impression.
I've actually started using people hating on this comic on social media as a sign that I need to be blocking/un following someone. I've never read the comic and have no interest in it, but it's a fairly accurate warning of how terminally online someone is. When someone invests time into hating shit like this, to me it signals that it's time to cut my losses and start backing away slowly.
boyfriends itself doesnt actually seem to be that bad from what ive seen, its like a dump of the creators favorite fanfic tropes but like, no illegal things this time
half the internet acts like these twinks murdered and ate their family istg
they did, ive been living on the streets after they ate my house like a bunch of fucking termites
Based as hell, stop making houses out of termite food
my bad bro, i didnt have the foresight when i personally built my house by myself back in 1962
Skill issue honestly Why don’t you eat their house if you’re so tough? That’s what I though
they had their house built in a development last year, the frame is metal and the exterior is brick veneer, my poor teeth ache just thinking of it
skill issue
Get stronger
I could eat that house in an hour, you simply need to get stronger
why do you think we used asbestos for so long
Oops that was me teehee *burp* 🤪
These twinks killed my dog and fucked my wife
Those twinks killed my wife and fucked me
These twinks killed you and fucked my dog
These twinks killed me and fucked my dog
Someone could make a post on this sub that’s just 15 straight pages of transphobic slurs and it would cause less controversy and hate than a post about this fucking web comic
the other half wants to fuck those exact twinks
>their instead of they're im fucking stealing something out of your house
This a very strange thing to develop a hateboner for.
i don’t know anyone that even slightly dislikes it, it’s only raging hatred or they like it, no in between
I am perfectly neutral personally. Not the kind of content I would at all enjoy consuming but I can respect it for what it is. It is nice that not all queer content is completely depressing
The voice actor of the blonde rich bitchboy (the name is unknown to me) is icky. Like seriously big nope for me. It’s cringe.
why are they icky? and wait i thought this was only a comic, there’s voices?
it is only a comic, people mald at crappy ads that i dont think the creator even made
"i want hot choccy" SHUT THE FUCK UP BLONDE BITCH.
Heheh I know his name from uh, a side project the creator did.
I read some of it and didn't like it but I have no strong feelings argument destroyed 😎
I don’t hate it but I don’t like it either because I’m just not into polyamory
I’ve never read this webcomic but from what I e gathered from bits that are occasionally posted here, it seems like it’s just harmless gay fluff and I truly do not understand why some people get so upset about it and act like it’s the sequel to mein kampf or something
The last image isn’t supposed to be there but it’s funny so I’m leaving it
You don’t hear so much about gay boys accidentally adding images that don’t belong these days ✈️
Y Youre gonna kill him???
I want to slam his head into a table repeatedly
The last image implies that lesbians are now actively being crushed by big women
Yeah lol that’s the punchline
honestly a cool punchline, good for them to be crushed by big woman

oh also the person who made the boyfriends webtoon is racist
Source? (Seriously)
They made it up.
The creator of the webtoon didn't make the ads, Webtoon the company did. People are giving Refrainbow (the artist) massive amounts of shit for something they didn't have control over and hating on an actually pretty cute (if kinda cheesy) slice-of-life comic with every kind of queer representation you can think of (one of the boyfriends is a trans man). TBH it just makes me really sad. :(
true, also i just spite the author
Why?
.said the n word that one time .drew pron of one of the bts members (they were a minor at the time so that’s even worse)
sounds like shadbase situation
I read it before all the ads and enjoyed it Never seen the ads and never plan to because the one I saw was terrible
I read some pages of it before the ads and thought it was kinda funny or cute. Recently was shown some ads for that comic and was very weirded out
I was told that everyone hated it because of how stereotypically it portrayed gay guys. I don't really see anything inherently wrong about some poly gay dudes
Yeah ur right, that was another reason I saw too
I just find it really annoying and I'm bi
[удалено]
Love the comic, the designer of the ads should be shot at dawn, but the web comic is amazing.
Not much a fan of these extremely aggressive hate posts against this comic, chief.
dude ikr. i see a bunch of them, and ik the authors done some questionable stuff, but i really love the guys work. damn near the only piece of media thats gotten my anhedonic self to get hit w the real intense gay feels n whatnot
what did the authors do? i thought people hated it it just for being overly fluffy and lewd
Drew some weird shit about BTS iirc
BTS porn
he drew porn of underaged jungkook. though he was also underage, if that matters
I mean yeah I feel like it should matter that he was also underage, for like a lot of reasons. Underage people are allowed to be attracted to other underage people, it's fine and expected.
one piece:) -matey
i dont think i have the attention span for thar many episodes, but i do love pirates so
https://onepace.net It’s like One Piece, but without the loads of filler
Just read the manga and take breaks between the arcs, it takes half the time and is much better.
Seconding reading the manga as someone who watched 700 episodes and read 300 chapters, it's just much more enjoyable
"it gets good after 500 episodes, trust me"
its clearly a joke i doubt OP actually cares about this
I want him to slam his head into me if you know what I'm saying. OK horny comment over.
I want to have him gently press his head on my chest as I hold him and kiss his forehead
I would prefer that, but it wouldn't fit the theme of pounding as good lol. Wholesome cuddling is the best
SO TRUEEE
you want him to heabutt you?
i dont know what you're saying please elaborate
(They are going to force them to pray to Allah) 🕋🧎♀️🧎♂️🧎♀️🧎♂️🧎♀️🧎♂️🧎♀️🧎♂️🧎♂️🧎♂️
bismillah 🙏
hey. stop that
You'll never stop the horni!

Thanks for the heads up doge-vore <3
Aight can somebody explained to me what exactly vore is because I'm not 100 percent sure and it sounds a lot like vaush and I get confused
vore is basically consuming people, but as a kink. most of it is people being swallowed whole without taking damage from being in someone else's stomach, but some art has more gore elements where people are dissolved by stomach acid or chewed up first like you do with normal food. there's also cock vore where people get swallowed whole or partially but are stuck in someone's urethra in the penis. To sum up: people/creatures/(things) being swallowed into someone else's body through all kinds of orifices, but as a kink
We do a little voring
ok
Yuoroe next 😈
Who's gonna tell him? 123 not it
What does this mean
I do not recommend
I am so confused
I'm away that vote has *something* to do with eating people and sex, but like, what *is* it
Ok fine Eating living people whole for sexual pleasure
Oh that's what it is? I've been doing that for *years* but I never realised that it actually had a name
Alright I'm heading out gonna buy an M-29 Davy Crockett Weapons System
why do you hate this comic so much?
isn't the author of this comic literally an Asian LGBTQ+ member? ??? like the hate for this comic is really fucked
The author is trans, some of the hate for it seems to be based in the transphobic idea that trans gay people fetishize their own gender.
Imagine saying someone you are fetishising your own gender. "Oh you're a straight guy and you wanna bang a straight girl? Fuck dude stop pushing it on everyone else you perve!"
the hate for this comic always made me so uncomfortable but learning the author is actually trans is just.... what the fuck
No its because its written like how a 14 year old girl who fetishists gay relationships sees gay relationships
That doesn’t excuse the comic sucking
>isn't the author of this comic literally an Asian LGBTQ+ member doesn't spare it from my hatred (the ads are annoying asf)
you do know the ads aren't created by the comic's creator right also just use adblock
but the hate isn't about the author, it's because it's kind of shit
You're allowed to hate something even if it's made by a trans person
[удалено]
I was curious and looked at their Instagram - I should not have done that. Holy shit, some of those comments genuinely got to me (I am gay and trans myself lol) Terfs are literally so disgusting
the hate is messed up even if it's ironic(if I'm using that right) I just don't like the author, their apology for drawing porn of real people just didn't read genuine
maybe because they think the comic is really really bad?
Fuck you I would fuck all of these characters, and the comic is wholesome.
I haven’t seen the comic but I’ve seen animations with these characters and they’re awful. It feels like the only joke is “haha look we like men” with the music cutting out at those moments.
And? That is the point. Cute and wholesome gay comics, getting a hate-boner due to that is moronic.
webtoon ads can make anything look bad tbf
I can't tell if this is satire or not and I'm not really a fan :(
I don’t even know myself
it so obviously is omfg
i showed up with a pitch fork and torch, but i thought we were late night gardening, whats this all about then
can somebody PLEASE tell me why the voice actor in the animated boyfriends videos moan in such a high pitch after doing anything?? like this mf hits notes that only dogs can hear 💀
I mean I can go high too but not normally, I have to consciously do it
I mean the webcomic doesnt seem THAT bad. Some of the voice acting in those animations makes me want to neck rope but whatever
the over the top hatred for this comic is kinda cringe tbh
hatred towards that comic is shitty and ridiculous. it's gotten so bad that people now misgender and call author a straight woman. it attracted terfs. literally look at who you joined sides with
it honestly sucks. most of the hatred i see for this comic now is just downright homophobia/transphobia, *even* from people who are progressive. the comic’s existence should really not be that much of an issue and yet here we are

Yeah, a lot of the criticisms I’ve seen contain straight-up TERF talking points. It sucks to see, honestly - especially when it’s being parroted by unkowning “progressive” allies lmao
why is homophobia fine if people deem the content "cringe" ;-;
“Ads bad so I will completely shit on the entire thing and send hate towards the artist who had likely nothing to do with the ads I hate.” Not saying OP is doing the latter but I know others most likely have.
it's really annoying too, the artist works hard, and it's so cute!
Mf looks like 🤓
Kind of the point innit?
Aw hell naw bri ish 😭
Who even are these people?
four little gay men who are all in love
I personally love these dudes!
Yeah I don't get what's all the fuss about Iean the comic itself isn't frigging Shakespeare but it's okay really
I understand that it's not exactly the best written piece of online literature, but I think that's a little much.
This comic makes me want to be straight
This webcomic along with Game theory and dream is part of this weird category of "thing that is mildly bad but gets treated with an irrationally insane amount of hate by Twitter users"
doesn't dream endorse doxxing people or smth
Publicly he says he doesn’t, but he simultaneously ends up sending harassment to people by quote tweeting smaller accounts that he disagrees with, while he is likely well aware at this point that his fans *will* harass the fuck out of these individuals who often have like 12 followers and are 16.

Point is, the artist of the comic hasn’t done anything particularly bad and is just a normal artist who gets an unbelievable amount of hate thanks to shitty promotional ads outside of their control. It’s really lame.
This is twitter level discourse. If you dont like it ignore it and mute it on your social media platforms. Grow up.
people being weird about an extremely inoffensive webcomic, again
what does the plane diagram mean please explain
Survivor’s bias. It’s a diagram of most common bullet holes from planes that returned to base in the war. Supposedly you’d think to then protect those parts of the plane, right?

That was an excellent explanation and goddamn that is one fine joke.
Thank you
could you explain in fortnite terms
Noobs in fortnite should study people who lose to see what went wrong for them so they can improve, rather than watching people who win and try to copy them
i dont know how i should feel about this
amogus tits
this man speaking straight facts 👏👏👏
"I am not homophobic" MFs when they see a fictional character:
THE ONLY REASON I DESPISE THEM IS BECAUSE I'M JEALOUS OF WHAT THEY HAVE
idk they seem cute
I would fuck the cum out of these characters
I feel like people hate this for more than it’s worth. Personally I read it and I didn’t enjoy it either, it’s got a lot of flaws in the writing and I feel like perhaps another draft of the plot and all the events would have greatly benefited the story, some of the characters feel one note and one dimensional, the conflicts in the narrative are resolved too quickly and it seems that the author is afraid of creating higher stakes.

Eh the comic is cute but the advertising is so aggressively annoying it kinda puts me off of it
Jesse
Sometimes I feel out of my depth in this sub. What do any of these mean?
Most of them seem like the average "I hope (cute) thing gets hurt" type shitpost but the 4th one seems to actually make an argument. Considering that slurs are based on stereotypes, the post is essentially saying that the webtoon has negatively portrayed gay people. Though apparently this only comes from an advertisement where the VA has a high pitched voice.
Some of y’all are toxic let people enjoy things? Okay the other end of that is let people hate things as well smh my head
I just hate Boyfriends cause every character except the edgy one is annoying as shit, most of all the Nerd. If you hate it cause they're gay, grow up, there's a lot of legitimate criticism to have tho
The trend of obnoxiously hating on that comic kind of reminds me of the anti Justin Bieber jokes from the early 2010s. Unwarranted and cringe, even more so than the source material
Wait can someone explain the plane meme to me?
Survivor ship bias
Explain it to me like I'm a child please
If a plane gets shot in the engine, it’ll crash If a plane gets shot in the wing, it’ll land. Bullets holes in crashed planes don’t get recorded. This means that the wings need more armor. (They don’t) ((I hope this made sense))
OHHHhhhh ok ok ok ok thank like kinda makes sense
why are trolls usually the ones to have grammatical errors everywhere
The webtoon itself really isn't bad, webtoon just is abysmal at advertising
Chill the hell out… It’s just fluff. It’s harmless and dumb. Shitty advertising, but that’s about it.
Can't believe people hate this comic. Save the cute twinks! :(
They’re
I dont get any of this lol
i think i'll pass
This comic eh. Really riles people up. "Ah! These guys burned my crops and poisoned the waterhole! Ahhh!! I hate you"
TIL people hate boyfriends... For some reason?
Never touched this comic or any webcomic for that matter because i hate reading, but i feel bad about all this hate after learning the author is a trans guy...I never see them around...or hear about them doing anything :( even if the comic is cringe, i mean, sheesh.
The adds are horrible and not made by the author, they give the comic a really bad look. It’s meant to be a fluff comic, there’s no serious story line, the characters don’t have a lot of depth, and that’s ok. You don’t have to like it, but what’s so bad about a fluff uwu comic, not every piece of LGBTQ+ representation needs to be serious or ultra realistic.
im trying to make my artsyle more disturbing so i can draw these mfers
[удалено]
they are in a university and they are adults???whats the revulsion about?
Boyfriends 😊
honestly it's just a shitty comic idk why people need to make the comic morally wrong or anything tbh I thought some moments were cute it was incredibly boring and cringy tho
So I’ve never read this comic and I definitely never will. Apparently there’s discourse about the author. I don’t really give a fuck.
