What I meant is most of those comics doesn't try to portrait their characters like men
They magically fall in love, everyone supports them, everything goes well even if your crush is a rugby player surrounded by homophobe friends but woooooah, I'm bi for you™
Absurd.
Are we going to talk about the fact that there is no character developing?
ARH had a good one: think about how Carter was horny at the beginning and how he was heartbroken in the last part.
It was well written, you don't have to be a fanboy to admit it.
Did you find similar developing in any other webcomic?
If your answer is yes, good to know - but you gotta be honest with yourself.
Series like That awkward magic or +1 (which I like but it's a 1page comic with no story) are just for entertainment - and that's fine, but what are they communicating?
That a fake relationship can become a real one (there's Ookami shoujo for that)?
That a magical setting can save a plain story?
What's even wrong with Doki Doki Checkmate and Boy in pink earmuffs?
The first one, putting apart the fact it was "probably" dropped 3ya, is just a story of a weirdo-stalker-yandere guy who waited for his black prince for no reason.
How did he even fall in love if they never met each other before?
The other... God. There is no story besides the "let's be awkward together, strange effeminate boy!"
Springtime of Yuuth is the demonstration of how they're not even trying to make their characters men.
The black-haired guy blushes when he smells his crush, when they touch hands and when they feed each other.
Let me tell you this straight: this is not how a man thinks.
There are spineless guys but no one will feed his crush with his lunch - it's stupid.
I know most of you will not agree with me, it's fine if you like those ones (even if I didn't read all of them like TJ & Amal, maybe I had bad luck).
But don't try to tell me those comics are great because you're just deluding yourself.
