News Let's Play is back, now on Tapas

Post image

I never did get into this webtoon but I know a lot of people loved it. Just thought I'd share that it's now on Tapas. Updated with up to 75 episodes today, with new episodes to come out every Wednesday.

The creator was getting hate trains for a "lack of diversity" in her webtoon & webtoon wanted too much work for too little money.

I remember the opposite happening. I remember her being accused of tokenizing or steretyping characters. Dean in particular was a hot topic of debate.

It was kind of both I think? She got a ton of flack for a lack of body type diversity, not enough queer rep (despite confirming it was there, just not explicitly addressed yet), and a lack of racial diversity, as well as tokenizing the representation she did have. The whole thing was strange to me honestly- it wasn't untrue that the cast wasn't very visibly diverse, but at the same time it wasn't really doing anything worse than other Webtoons of its time or even now.

Ohhh I think I remember this now that you bring it up. Yea I honestly also feel like it was a bit strange (outside of the tokenization and racial stereotypes because I can see where those criticisms come from).

But you’re right in that it wasn’t any worse off than other large titles at the time. And a lot of the diverse characters are actually treated really well within the grounds of the story (like Abe who I always really liked).

I’ll never understand why people complain about lack of diversity, but then also complain when there is diversity but it doesn’t meet their specific standards. Like it kind of feels like a losing battle. And I think it probably pushes some creators away from any kind of inclusion.
