Just so in case it wasn't clear before by what i meant by passing takes/headcanons as confident facts - well there you have it. I was unfortunate enough to have this be sent to me and now i gotta share it here with y'all
But that's besides the point, my actual issue and ickiness here is coming directly from the fact of how they're presented: pure, unadulterated objectification. And by that, i never thought I'd actually see grown ass women (i assume?) refer to other non existent women as "appetizers" and "starter dishes" before we reach the "main course". Especially in LaDS of all games
After all, there's nothing more romantic than both of you knowing that you both went through people like they were consumable objects before you found each other, right? Just because you both are super pretty and hot 😏 Or that you used other people as outlets for your frustrations and distress of not being in the right headspace and moment in order to be healthily present for the one you're in love with. Love to see it 👌
Sarcasm aside-
...Look, i really get headcanons, i do, i have nothing against people that love living in their own head, i do that all the time. But I cannot for the life of me, imagine myself waking up one day and deciding that I'm gonna propagate what personally exists in my head should also be something everyone else has to deal with and acknowledge as an actual fact, regardless of how absurd or logically sound it is. But reading these genuinely makes me wonder if we're even playing the same game - And I'm actually starting to see why this of all things happens to be one of the touchiest subjects amongst the otome community
Downvote me, hate me for this, it's whatever, i had to get it out because it's really tiresome. But yeah, looking back at it now, it really seems to be a big deal to alot of people for some reason that i will likely never fully understand 🫤
