Bruh is Ao3 that serious? Some people cannot live without reading fanfics is a new idea for me. I'm sooo old.

Listen I'm with the Gen Z when it comes to hookup and sex and I absolutely support their anti-porn and anti-prostitution stance but the general blaming of millenials here is really annoying.
Gen Z girls having boundaries is NEVER a problem, why the fuck are so many millennial women so upset young girls do not want to participate in the predatory hookup culture scene rampant with Andrew Tate Clavicular Cornell 7 worshipping freaks

You guys are so adamant to see him as the BIG BAD MAN because woke and want to crucify him for being an immature teenage boy it's laughable. Ofc he's a prince but in that context he's quite progressive and open minded even early in the series.
People into The Apothecary Diaries love defending Jinshi by talking about stuff that happens in volume 192328 while S2 ends at Vol 4 and then insulting people for it. Like sorry man so far he's extremely pushy and forceful, while Maomao barely reacts

Jinshi's a teenage boy who grows into a thoughtful young adult in the continuation of the series. Ofc people will defend based just on that. His adamant pursuing of Maomao is NOT detrimental to Maomao at all no matter how she stays quiet about it.

Tbh I like the Kurata manga for the character designs. Maomao looks more mature and Jinshi actually looks like a biy not some walking sex symbol.
I’m not even a fan of the GX manga adaptation, and even I have to admit Kurata really takes her time with the character designs, lol. This is probably my favorite of the ones I’ve seen from her. Anime-onlies slandering her without even looking at what they hype is so 🌝

If I have a nickel for everytime my fav character gets flailed by fandom I'll have it twice. Mikasa and Jinshi my babies get behind me.

Tbh it mostly comes from people who want to see Maomao as some Girlboss Supreme who hates men. Though nothing in the canon suggests that. As if the novel itself doesn't show her being harsh to Jinshi sometimes they want to see more.
Wait what. Yang/the emperor didn't *rape* her. I don't know how you guys read but Ah Duo both resents and loves him. It's subtle but it's there.
I saw some people disagreeing and spouting nonsense, so let's set the record straight. Yes, I’ve read the novels and have been watching the anime since the very first episode, and my opinion remains the same: Yang is selfish, obsessed, and possessive regarding his unrequited love for Ah Duo, and this negatively impacts Jinshi. And believe it or not, there are people in the fandom who romanticize Yang and Ah Duo as a couple, even though she clearly never harbored romantic feelings for him; in novel 15, it becomes very clear just how much Ah Duo resents Yang. Furthermore, even though Yang was a victim of the system imposed by the imperial family, he deliberately chose Ah Duo as his sexual instructor because he knew full well that if she went to bed with him, she would never be able to leave the palace. In short: Yang raped Ah Duo repeatedly out of sheer selfishness and—second only to the Empress Dowager, his grandmother—bears the primary responsibility for Ah Duo losing her uterus. Had he not been so extremely selfish and possessive, Ah Duo could have realized her dream of becoming a merchant and wouldn't have lost her uterus. So yes, there is a segment of the #TheApothecaryDiaries fandom that romanticizes the two of them as a couple, completely disregarding the absurdity and tragedy of their story when examined more deeply.
