WHY IS THE WEBTOON LOWKEY HOMOPHOBIC are they really gonna erase every single joongdok scene istg 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

⚠️ Spoilers for 167 in the orv webtoon / chapter 148 in the novel ⚠️

Why do they hate Yoo Joonghyuk so much :))

Why are they trying to turn him into the stereotype of a white manhero, I'm-

Just read the 167 update and felt the need to go back and reread this scene in the novel because something I recalled wasn't shown in the webtoon at all. Fun.

Here's how the Iris scene goes in the novel:

If you've seen the 167 webtoon adaptation, you'll notice that:

1) Yoo Joonghyuk appears to be way angrier at kdj than he was originally in the novel. The novel also makes a point to mention that he's actually more worried than angry about him dying and the shin yoosung egg thing.

2) webtoon felt the need to add "this idiot" instead of just saying "his nickname is" because hahaha he angy or whatever. Again, he doesn't actually hate Dokja???? But for some reason the translators are convinced that he does 😭 guys I promise he wasn't this angry originally idk what happened here

3) As seen in the image above, Yoo Joonghyuk even supports dokja and is visibly on his side when Iris starts getting aggressive/annoying with Kim Dokja. Webtoon makes him seem like he's bullying KDJ alongside the western incarnations 💀 (he's not)

4) did. Did I mention that he's not actually as angry as they make him seem in the webtoon??? Because he really is not 💀 like sure he's "KDJ you fool" this and "everyone's been worried sick about you" that but he's also the first to defend KDJ if something goes wrong. And they conveniently glossed over the ONE thing in this scene that would make that apparent :) *screams*
