Even though it is a happy ending... I truly despise this trope where the gay main character cannot fight back... It is very tiring 😫 to be honest. As a bi man I definitely took no shit from no one! Having a black belt in Jujitsu helps too! 😂😂😂
This treatment at the beginning of this story was 100% common 50 years ago when I was in Jr to Sr high. It really didn’t matter if it was public or private school. I knew I could have been a victim but it was physically obvious I was treated far worse at home. I wore bruises and welts like fashion accessories until I ran at 15. But this isn’t about me. Cruelty and worse were served like menu items from the school cafeteria. I never understood how school staff and admin had blind eyes and they failed to address the constant bullying and assault some students endured. I tried talking to school counselors but they didn’t do anything. In so many cases, bullied kids disappeared and I questioned if parents intervened or the kids committed suicide. A half century ago and it’s still hard for me to read or hear stories like this. I read to escape, and for me, my choices were clear. I could go out on my father’s terms and die, give up and kill myself, or run. Having read a book called Logan’s Run a few times (it doesn’t have violence to kids), I chose to live so I ran away. Today’s kids have another choice and to many take it. Some kids get a gun and decide to use it at school. We hear the murderer walked around looking for targets. To me, that sounds like someone being bullied. They feel dead inside and decide to take their abusers with them. In a few cases, classmate survivors talk about how they ostracized the shooter, and how they made the shooters life a living hell while at school and with the internet now, after school hours. These school shooters become real heroes to other kids suffering from abuse. Personally, school shooting is what those kids did, it’s not their identity. Those kids become murderers - murderer is their identity. Inside, many of them are lonely, lost, and then they die. None of that is justification for their actions though. And, I believe almost every school shooting could have been prevented by adults in their lives. Parents, teachers, administrators and school boards can prevent the conditions that breed children to commit murder or commit suicide. Please, don’t accept or turn a blind eye to the conditions some children face every day.
Bro I read this comment thinking “wow, what a weird random comment” as the video as just starting and there were no mentions of anyone being of the same blood Then I get to 4:24 and this is my exact reaction LMAO
Jimmo please stop writing this trope of the gay character always getting assaulted and not fighting back. It’s very tiring and unrealistic. Most gay people would NOT take that. WE DO NOT BACK DOWN AND WE WILL WHOOP ASS.
@@sem_skywalker You need help dear. It’s not normal at all to have an attraction to your sibling. Having a incestous attraction to a family member IS part of the problem of this messed up world. Your idea of “sibling love” is very warped and completely vile.
Honestly, I see nothing wrong with this kind of relationship because both Markus and Lean are not related by blood. The father of Lean and the mother of Markus married each other when Markus and Lean were 16. Markus and Lean are not related to each other at all until their parent decided to get married.
I was touched by this story. But I also felt a tinge of make-believe. Markus and Lean went through alot in keeping their relationship a secret from their parents and the rest of the world. But finding Klare to go along with this charade, I found hard to believe. Is it possible, yes; but I think highly unlikely. All in all I found this story tugging a little at my heart ♥ strings.
And can we pleeease do away with the hurt girlfriend trope as well? Not every gay relationship involves the opposite sex getting hurt! That’s messy and a toxic cliche.
Far too many individuals fail to remember that the pathway is 'filled with ruts and potholes'. The reality is that those very ' ruts and potholes' are the learning lessons of Life. Some may feel strong, while others often 'believe' that the obstacles of Life feel 'like a wall that can't be breeched . . . . .

i’m sorry but i cannot help but notice that literally nobody has a problem with these people being related.. idgaf about it not being by blood, it’s still wack af
first of all, why’s the gay character ALWAYS written as being weak, a nerd, bullied, etc… second, why the fuck are they stepsiblings, shall i start playin sweet home alabama? third, what they doing to that girl is messed up.
This is a cliché anime situation. falling in love with someone who is legally related to you. I was never a fan of this trope. It’s still falls into the sweet home Alabama category despite the lack of blood relation
(Imo) Iliked the story a little but I do understand your problem with it like imagine 2 step sisters or a step brother and a step sister..... so yeah it can be weird (and it is a little weird)
Incest taboo is totally ridiculous even between biological brothers, as they aren't able to make handicapped children. When your father and your spouse's mother are widowed or divorced and fall in love with each other, would you separate from your partner? As soon as they marry, you are technically step siblings.
I wish they were like, childhood friends before at least, so you could reason that they are not at fault for being in love since they already knew each other before being step-related
@@Zwei-Rosen Good point, and ngl the ‘should same-sex incest be legal’ is a topic that needs more discussion on, but you won’t get it from me because I have no opinions on the topic and will be fine with whatever people and/or law decides
I know its legal, but I'm still on the fence with this... I'm sorry but it is "kinda" incestuous. LOL! But I have read step siblings getting married..... but still.... LOL!
This is one of the worst-written ones. There's only so much you can do within 30-minutes of storytelling, but the rush towards the last 10 minutes or so just to tie a pretty little bow with all the loose ends on this story just emphasizes how implausible everything is.
There are waaayyy too many stories of gay characters being weak and not fighting back. WE ARE NOT WEAK!
I agree this kinda story has been copied and pasted sooo many times, lol.
Yeah, I see those hot hunk gays with big muscles walking down the street and I’m like, I wish I had that bod!
We're not

What are you doing step-bro? 🤭

Update: it’s now 5:46 into the video, and I’m starting to go “oh no, please don’t tell me the story is going to take the Tutorial/Ladder route”
Wait, hold on, 21:30
This could turn into a bisexual poly/open relationship, and that would be interesting to see
Dammit nvm
22:20
NOOOOOO-
If it was me I would’ve hugged all are before she left :(
11:33 - 11:44
I like the way the narrator read this part of the story. 😅

Some of us are scared to fight back. Some of us are tired of it. I’m sorry not everyone is as brave or as self confident as you.
@@shadowpsykie its just that there's SO MANY of these, where the gay character can't or won't defend themself
@@shadowpsykieI know but still, it is too common in these stories and I’m tired of it.
Aww this was such a nice story I am glad that Markus and Lean were able to get together at the end
bruh there step siblings

I didn't expect the story to turn out like this 😅
At 14:47 I screamed because didn't expect it 😅
But this story is still nice 😁😅
I know people say love has no boundaries… but there a difference between that and this. It can be proven with three words… Sweet Home Alabama.
Step siblings have no blood relation
its still wrong@@shadowpsykie
😂😂
@@thrawn_88 it's not just can be sketchy depending what happened

14:55 DANG oh my gosh

I'm surprised too tbh 😅

Dont cry dont cry DONT CRY!

A great happy story of support and progression. Congratulations.

Can we please not romanticize step-sibling relationships? I blame the porn industry for this nonsense.
thank u, at least someone else here understands this is stupid
Real af it’s just weird

They were in a secret relationship for three years, and they never once had sex.
Gurrrrrlllllllllll, go read a gay romance novel lol.
