Discussion Still the biggest webtoon tragedy 🥀

Post image

I really really loved this webtoon! I was disappointed when the author quit ☹️ I was hoping that maybe it'll come back but it's been years now. And when the author gave a major plot spoiler I knew it was never coming back. Such a missed opportunity!

When they were explaining that the shippers were spamming them, I thought that while it sucks to have that happen, there are ways to circumvent that. The biggest of which is to take a break from the internet and recharge. Then they axed the story by revealing the big plot twist which screwed not just the shippers, but innocent people like all of us who just wanted to enjoy the story. I read a lot of bl manhwas, Jinx being a top one for me. The amount of hate that story got over the years was absolutely insane and unwarranted, but Mingwa never once pulled a stunt like this. The artist for this story could've had the same mindset she does. The only thing I can't say in Hanza's defense is that the death threats are highly inappropriate and unjustified. The internet is going to internet though. You can't control the unhinged fans, only how you react to their insane behavior. However ruining the story for innocent readers is also a really scummy thing to do and she should definitely never make a webtoon again.

Excusing death threats with ‘the internet is going to internet’ and blaming the author for not wanting to tolerate that is crazy work.

She did the right thing IMO, because the best way to shut that shit down is not to feed it. I’m pretty sure some of them even got her addres or families address or something.

Or you know, you could read the part where I explicitly said death threats are highly inappropriate and unjustified. I get there's a typo from autocorrect making my "the only thing I can't say" into can't for some reason, but my point was that while I don't condone death threats, there is literally nothing you can do to stop them apart from getting off the internet. But to react by punishing the vast majority of the sane readers and axing the story, especially the way they did, makes them a terrible person who shouldn't be making webtoons.

Think its more to do with your language. You did objectively say "the internet is going to internet", so "I also said it was unjustified" doesnt really mean much. "Inappropriate" and "unjustified" are also a lot softer words than calling someone just a full stop horrible person for...axing a story. Don't get me wrong, I liked it too, I wish it wouldve continued. But Im never going to not consider the asshole idiots responsible for it getting tanked, nor am I ever not going to consider them worse than Hanza, who only axed a story.
