this kind of behavior is precisely why there are 600+ straight romance on tapas compared to 19 GLs btw. it’s not just the platforms’ faults. there is simply no solidarity when it comes to minorities in the "manhwa" community (straight romance only, now written plain and clear). no shame. - ThreadSky

i’ve been writing abt how problematic this is for some time now but NO ONE in this community gives a fuck and it shows.
apparently they don’t tweet about BL/GL because they received negative feedback before. should i start on the homophobia i’ve suffered my whole life or would that be too +

uncomfortable to hear, to be faced with actual queer pain, partly due to your exclusion? it’s not fun for me to have to make these comments or to try to promote GL and expose its mistreatment in hopes of a change. it’s lonely because only sapphics and a few others support our fight. it’s not enough.

i’m tired of being nice, of trying to control my emotions and speak in a way that won’t upset people too much. we’re always expected to walk on eggshells so as not to upset the perpetrators but it wouldn’t reflect the reality of what i have been feeling. i’m tired of being ignored and excluded.

oh and #manhwasky because i hope you all see this and stop ignoring the problem.

your actions look just like the inkr settings

i feel like it's homophobic to exclude any and all queer content from a list that initially was just for manhwa in general. i saw the original post and i felt like they were ignoring you since they responded to all the other comments. but this response... they made their priorities clear.

they don't care about support or allyship. they don't care about support all manhwa authors, or even all the manhwa authors on bsky. they don't care about discrimination unless it's to them. this makes me incredibly mad, this kind of exclusion shouldn't be tolerated, thank you for pointing it out.

and now they’re posting as if nothing happened without caring for any of what i said, ofc their day can go on happily although i’ve been feeling way too affected by this 🥲 im glad to know you feel the same way about it that i do. it just gets tiring when we do sm effort to promote GL…

Can we make a list specifically for LGBT romance artists?

We always have to mind the feelings of homophobes but they will never mind the feelings of queer people.
