This is actually the best review of Boyfriends that I’ve seen. It’s critical, but fair. I never understood why people were so hard on the characters being flat or the story being unrealistic. It’s basically just a short fluff comic not unlike comic strips found in the newspaper where it’s supposed to be read and enjoyed but not mulled over any deeper than that. It was never trying to be anything else so it shouldn’t be judged on those terms.

I think it’s really interesting how fluff media is treated as “unrealistic” (which this particular story is in certain regards- just hear me out) but then dark media is often touted as the “realistic” counterpart. Especially in LGBT media it’s almost like we HAVE to suffer in order for it to be relatable, which actually kind of removes the whole point of what representation is supposed to do. Positive imagery of LGBT characters where the characters don’t get “punished” for being queer is an element of rep we should be adding to the repertoire, not treating as cringe. People can dislike it on the basis that slice of life stories or one note formulaic types aren’t their thing, but I like seeing a comic about queer and poly joy become successful.
@louise4152
@louise4152 Жыл бұрын
I don't think people are insinuating it HAS to have suffering or whatev for it to be "relatable," it's just excessively fluffy, trite and "uwu" adorable that it kind of crosses the line of being kinda cringy (esp when it tries to be sexy, and it kinda leans on a more yaoi fan's view on how relationships are lol) I don't really mind that the premise and characters are relatively simple and feel-good, it's just kind of. Cringy at times with the way it was written or presented. There are definitely BL stories that are more realistic in terms of how relationships go, see Pegl0's comics, they're sort of in a similar genre but his comics don't really have moments in the dialogue that make me wince or anything, and are still pretty adorable without it just feeling super sugary.

TL;DR - I have an issue with the author, not the comic. Have fun! - I agree with this at a slant [I've only read the first season, stopped after that because it kind of disgusted me, lol]! Maybe it's just me not being a fan of ignoring real issues, but I still think it's a "bad" comic if you wanted any scenes that would make you "feel" something if that makes sense. Personally, I'm not too fond of it because it doesn't give you anything really negative enough to make it so you feel happy when something goes right. Obviously, I don't think that's what the Author was aiming for, so it shouldn't be compared on that scale. The comic is [like in the video] very much a fluff comic, which I'm not a fan of in general. I do think that poly and happy LGBT+ representation can and should have more than media only displaying one's own [possibly traumatic, scarring, harmful, dangerous, and/or more] vision/experience with these relationships; I simply don't think that Boyfriends executes/executed [not sure how popular it still may be] the concept as well as it could've and should've. To be [extremely harsh!] honest, I don't think it "deserves/deserved" its fame, BUT IT'S PERFECTLY FINE IF ANYONE LIKES/LIKED IT! I don't think I'd ever interact with media putting it in a golden spotlight by will, but if someone enjoys it, then I'm not going to ruin their day with my opinions. [PERSONAL BIT HERE-I more so have an issue with the openly strange stereotypes than much else. I thought that they would follow the stereotypes as their name followed, but it turned out more…I guess horny than I thought? Obviously not all the love is shown only sexually, but I feel like the majority just feels like theres sexual intent driving it, and it feels wrong to me. Another tiny bit that got me to stop reading it once I tried to revisit it was when I learned about a small bit of controversy, including the Author possibly sexualizing Asians a bit? Not a ton, just enough to get me a bit weirded out. I can’t remember exactly what it was, but I felt slightly disturbed by it. I believe it was about Korean people, and while I am Chinese, I still felt “icked” out and stopped consuming any media that the Author produced/consuming any media with the Author if I could; regardless if the Author is Asian or not. Simply don’t want to deal with that meddling with my personal feelings and reactions. Just doesn’t feel right and disgusts me. That’s it.]

Agreed. It's so cutesy but sexual it's in it's own class of fandom. I'd almost call it something like a "sweet tooth series." Like any overly sugary treat there's practically no substance and the over load of sugary bullshit can be gagging at times. If you can imagine one of those piled high ice cream scoop monstrosities with frosting and a slice of cake with whipped cream and cherry on top with glitter all somehow cohesively pastel and cute looking... take that same vibe and throw it into a webtoon. The first real dig for a substantial bite of anything, the confectionery tower crumbles into a pile of death by diabetes but it was pretty to look at and people love that bullshit. People just hating on it because of it's intentionally cringe, viral marketing that got people talking and propelled it's success from it's weird niche demographic into what is quickly becoming another legacy of internet culture.

As much as I dislike fluff and sappy content, I understand why a person would enjoy this form of escapism. Besides, the creator admitted to inserting themself into the story. Clearly, it's not that deep.

The saying “don’t like, don’t read” is a very valid one when the story is as harmless as this. If it’s not your thing, leave it alone and find something that is. There is no world in which you have the right to shit on what you don’t vibe with.

As someone who is fully read through and caught up on Boyfriends, I will say it gets a little more serious in the second season. The characters get slightly more development and there’s slightly more drama and conflict, though not still not a lot. But at it’s core boyfriends is obviously meant to be pure idealized fantasy for the author, and people acting like it needs to be the next gay Shakespeare to be worthy of attention are dumb.

Kwite may be the only KZfaqr I've seen so far that isn't just bashing the comic and creator. I genuinely don't understand the visceral hatred people have for a comic like this. Seriously, this is the best take I've seen on the comic. Edit: also, to those who don't know, the messed up stuff Refrainbow, the creator, did like saying slurs and pro-shipping, that happened in 2013. Refrainbow was a 14 year old at the time and apologized for it on Twitter when Boyfriends was becoming popular. Edit 2: I won't lie, I have more information I just found out about this morning. The pro-shipping wasn't of fictional characters, but of the K-pop band BTS. Specifically yaoi comics about the band members (I know nothing about BTS, so I don't know which members exactly). Personally, I feel that makes this pretty concerning. I'm trying to find out how long ago this was, because if it was 9 years ago like the other stuff, I can definitely believe they've changed since then. Some people say they stopped making the comic in 2018 and others say it was deleted in 2018 or stopped being retweeted in 2018? I'm not cut out for internet detective work. Also, KZfaq isn't allowing me to reply to anyone in the replies anymore. I honestly don't know why.

I totally agree with you, but also maybe be a bit understanding on the part of people who might ridicule it without actually reading it. If I had the guts to do it, I would openly ridicule literally every single story about romance whether it’s just fluff or anything else. I think that there’s something out of romantic deficiency, it just seems like emotion porn if you know what I mean. I’m not trying to shame or put down anybody who’s into that, but I don’t like to classify this genre as something that is “just something that people like “either. Basically what I’m trying to say is, the genre is mainly made to fill in a hole, It’s not the same as other kinds of entertainment. Again I don’t hate the people that like that stuff, I honestly feel more sad for them than anything, that they feel so lonely and loved deficient that they either consciously or unconsciously cope with it via watching or reading about other peoples relationships, romantic or otherwise. Heck I know occasionally I’ve found myself falling into that hole, usually when it came to stories about families though. I think that’s why I was really able to relate with March comes in like a lion anime, because it’s about a lonely boy with an uncountable amount of childhood trauma that has led him towardly be a sweet and kind but very scared and depressed person, but slowly but surely learns what love means because of moving to another town and meeting some very wonderful people whom also lost some of their family and decide to welcome him in warmly and show him what the love of family is. Of course people are into different things, but I can never make myself comfortable with romance stories. If you’re thinking “well but you know there’s people uncomfortable with the stuff you like “yes I’m very aware of that. There’s a lot of people I’ve met that don’t like the stuff I like but you know what? That’s life. It’s OK to cringe at something, and it’s OK for someone to cringe at something I like. There’s a difference between cringing and being disrespectful. i’m very open to someone cringing at something I like, to me that’s a normal part of existing. My parents hate the stuff I like, I have friends at dislike the stuff I like, but that’s life. As long as we can all get along and it doesn’t hinder our relationships, that’s all that matters to me.

I was always super confused about what the actual problem was with Boyfriends. I was worried I was just somehow being ignorant over something I was failing to understand, but my gut response was still pretty much just “it’s harmless fun, why is everyone looking for layers?”, so it’s kind of nice to hear that it wasn’t just me wondering what the issue was. It’s actually kind of heartbreaking to see people get this heated over some simple escapism, to the point they go after the creator. Honestly, if we’re trying to normalize the LGBTQ+, shitting on this webcomic is not going to do any good. It actually does the opposite. If we want LGBTQ+ people to be treated with equal rights to straight cisgender ones, we need to stop holding queer creators to such a ridiculously high standard that we run them off the internet. If a straight cisgender creator makes some harmless goofy shit like this, nobody bats an eye. But if you identify as queer everyone immediately demands you make god-tier content that must be perfect in every way.

I don't think it has anything to do with being "cis" (don't like using that term) or having a different sexual orientation or gender identity. It has more do to with how the caracthers were portrayed. There are too many webtoons or mangas or stories overall that fall into estereotypes, some in a comical way and others like boyfriends, which leads to a plain story that you would just read if you were really bored or wanted to escape from reality a bit or were a teenager.

Fun fact: The creator gets harassed, slandered and sent suibaiting messages daily over this comic on twitter! I dont even like Boyfriends myself (not my taste lol), but the way people treat it and the creator just REALLY rubs me the wrong way, esp when they become unironically homophobic and racist. - - - EDIT: Theres a ton of misinfo and assumptions in the replies (full war going on lmao) let me explain the things the creator did, as well as the rumors/misinfo! "Creator is racist" When the creator was 13-14, they said the N-word not knowing it was a slur (English isnt their first language) Assumed it was slang because people use it so casually + so often. They were educated on the slur, they genuinely apologized and never said it again. "They drew CP!!!" (CP is an outdated and gross term, please do not use it. CSEM is the correct term and it applies to CSA victims) When they were 16-ish, they drew NSFW of a kpop dude. Said kpop dude was OLDER than them, so it couldn't have been "CP" anyway. They were educated on why drawing NSFW of real people is harmful, they understood and apologized. Never did it again. "They're a proshipper!!" This is a rumor that people spread for fun. They've never claimed to be a proshipper. The closest thing was them joking that one of their characters is proship, that's all lol. The actual definition of proship is "being against harassment regarding ships, art and fiction (even if it's something gross or you dislike it)".

So it is slowly growing and showing some things that I personally can appreciate it showing! Still, I do agree that it isn't for everyone and that's fine!

It's normal and cute and not cringe because they're straight. We as queer people deserve that too. I don't want to read about hate crimes or homophobia or intense conflict, I just want likeable characters that experience queer atttaction and act like me to have fun and be happy. If anyone says this is cringe but has ever enjoyed a hallmark movie in their life, I'm going to assume they're homophobic.

I love how this video is just so hilarious and honest. It's just a hoodie telling us that the Boyfriends Webtoon is just fluff and it's not really something anyone should have expectations on when reading it (as I feel should be a disclaimer for all Webtoons) Also 3:03 is such a great way to start the video, like I had to pause it because 3:16 and beyond was delivered so well and so matter-of-factly that when the joke came and ran over my wheezing corpse, it just kept going. Great video!

Honestly I respect how self indulgent the webtoon is lmao, even though I personally found it too cutesy. Iirc the author lives in a very conservative country so I can understand them using the series as an outlet. I disagree with people saying it's straight up fetishising mlm relationships but I can kinda see why'd they think so -- cause there's a lot of moments where you can clearly tell what the author's kinks are lmao 💀💀 The author themself is a whole other discussion but all the misinformation makes them out to be a worse person than they are, even though they already apologised for their old actions. They definitely don't deserve the amount of harassment they're currently getting

As a person who started reading Boyfriends before it became popular to dislike it, I was mostly reading it for the poly representation & felt rlly happy that is was mostly positive and lighthearted while still being realistic (not rlly, but pointing out important things like communication etc). and i think thats what the series does ok - giving the poly ppl the representation we practically never get.... so its sad when people discard it cuz its got cringey marketing((

Ik you made this a year ago but as someone who has read the boyfriends comic and might get back into it, i'm not too far behind anyway, i want to thank you for validating my cringiness. I hate when i show ppl things i like or used to like and they just talk about how awful or how cringy it is. You did an honest, well rounded review and i appreciate that so much. Also, ur very funny and i appreciate ur content. (This is the second video i've seen but i think i'll subscribe!) Much love, have a good day dude!

As I'm seeing, this webcomic had a big potential of making something more than just slice of life. Gosh, if there was an actual drama I'd actually read it and like it, even if it's not perfect. And I see that the art style is actually good! And I see that since the start to the actual run of the comic, it seems that the author is getting better and better
