The Princess's Jewels would highkey be an amazing set up for a fantasy dystopia where only the beautiful are even allowed to exist. And because the princess is so shallow she naively thinks a beautiful world is better than an ugly one. But then again this idea would require the creators to use their brain instead of their hormones.
Also as a 16 year old girl saying that if a woman abuses a man is "girlbossing" is completely wrong. Nobody deserves abuse NOBODY. It's already hard enough for men to confirm they've been abused by a woman to the police and it's also infuriating seeing these type of creators normalizing male abuse.
As a 15 year old, agree. Although there isn't many, I'm glad that some children who uses webtoon at least knows what's wrong and right. I mean, I didn't even know this existed until it popped up in my recommendations. I've only been reading fluffs. Imagine the ones who're naive enough to to believe this?? The whole girlbossing thing is getting on my nerves, cause if your nice, quite, feminine, well mannered, and doesn't indulge hardcore physical activity you're considered 'pick me' or 'traditional' and 'not women empowering' When most of the readers are probably girls reading in the corner of their rooms. I just hope they'd come to their senses and ignore this, move on and find better, age appropriate, life teaching moral story... The adult life isn't something we should rush to see and make assumptions 😔😔😔
I've seen social experiment. 2 actors (man and woman) went onto the street, when man was yelling at woman people reacted quickly. When woman yelled at man and even got physical nobody did anything
While I think there's some grain of truth in the idea that men generally "should" be "tougher" than women, in the sense of not easily getting upset over very small things, the idea has definitely become twisted and harmful to the point where it stops men from seeking help for their problems. Men, like all human beings, have emotions and will have bad days, and if society tells them that the only acceptable ways of expressing that are violence and alcoholism, well, guess what happens?
What annoyed me the most is that despite her “jewel” collection, she gets with this noble who used to be fat and evil. But now he’s skinny and evil, and all of a sudden she wants to have sex with him. She ends up neglecting her “jewels”, and her new boy toy is actively threatening them as well. I kid you not, this is where the story left off.
You know, I've written a female character very similar to this protagonist. She is the villain who owns a cult based around eugenics and survival of the fittest.
Honestly, this story is the perfect candidate for the origins of a villainous female main character. With this context in mind, this story starts to make sense.
@rosas I agree. I also I personally have seen good harem anime. Like, Highschool DxD, Everyday Life With Monster Girls, Konosuba....... Shit I can't remember any other good ones I've watched.
I would read a “I transmigrated into the Female Lead’s Body” story with this. Imagine the new lead actually seeing the “jewels” as people. and starting a Fried Chicken franchise.

The author either has less self awareness than the average 8 year old, or is just a straight misandrist who thinks it's acceptable for women to do things that are abhorrent when a man does it.
You know there’s a very simple way to make this comic less repulsive - just cut the slavery bit and have the main character just go around having sex with a bunch of dudes. Consensual sex between adults. That’s it. And at the end of each one night stand, the dudes give her a jewel to remember them by. You can even give her a sympathetic backstory of being held to high standards as a member of the royal family, and even more so as a woman in a male dominated society. And by having sex with all these guys, she’s getting the closest thing to a normal relationship she’s ever had. She’s not some political pawn or some delicate dainty flower. In these men’s eyes, she is a woman, a sexual being. There, problem solved. The readers can have their cake and eat it too. EDIT: Ftr, I am a sex-repulsed asexual, and I still managed to come up with a better harem story then whoever wrote this trash. The author has no excuse.
@@orrorsaness5942 make the slaves plan a way to escape and overthrown the nobles and turn this sad excuse of a broken toilet in an abandoned house into an actually interesting thing
The Ancient Magus Bride is not a good example to use in this video. For 1 thing Chise is not Elias's slave. He bought her simply because she wa being sold and that was the only way to free her eithout making an issue. Then she is freed. He doesn't treat her like a slave and she isn't bound to him. The only shackles attached to Chise are the metaphorical ones due to the nature of her being and her past that lead her to be sold. The reason she stays is because she doesn't have a reason to leave and lacks self worth and the story goes on with her finding her way and choosing what she wants to do and staying with Elias and the Silver Lady and Ruth because she sees them as her family and new home. So attaching THAT story to this is apples and oranges to be honest
Thank you for saying this. 😭Personally, I still don't like the whole bride thing, though I'm starting to think Elias doesn't know what bride even means and what that entails.

He isnt human and lonely so he doesn't get a lot of things that we would consider socially acceptable or not(he gets a little of some things but not the more personal things, especiallylove and such).

Hey can you make a video on “sadistic beauty”? Once a friend recommended me to read one of it’s side stories and I accidentally read the main one and…. Man, it is one of the most infuriating stories you can ever read. Just like the princess’ jewels the story is centered around a really unlike able female character who also has a harem. she always acts toxic towards ‘her lovers’ and even r*pes some of them! The worst part about it is the fact that the author expects us to cheer for her and praise her for being such an independent woman! Im 100% sure that if the main character was a man this story would be torn apart by the others and its an unfortunate that NO ONE is talking about it…
OMG THIS!!! I once hoped this manhwa would somehow get better, as it had potential to go in the right direction, but nowadays I don't want to hear anything about it. Not only it is a burning trashcan of a comic (very beautiful-looking though, props to the artist) , but is also full of incredibly wrong and awful BDSM "representation". And the fact that the author painted my man Minho as some sort of bastard when he is THE VICTIM and big part of fandom treats him the same + there are rumors that this character is based off some real person from author's life is terrifying, this shit NEEDS to be addressed
HONESTLYYY I've been hate reading sadistic beauty and its side story and it's a good way for me to get worked up BAHAH I feel so bad for Minho, like he's a piece of shit sure, but he wasn't even given the chance to redeem himself-- even after everything he went through. Meanwhile Dunna and her enabler bf got away with whatever tf they're doing scott free The art is very pretty though and ngl I was very attracted to Dunna at first, but her personality sucks ass lol
Just read the side story about Minho due to your comment..... I'm gonna gorge my eyes out what the actual hell was that- It was legitimately one of the most horrifying things I have read in my life. I understand that people hated Minho (though he was a complicated person), so I decided to make up a really unlikeable character who did some of the same things as him (but not anything worse), and then I put this OC in his place in order to see how I'd feel about seeing him get treated the way he was, and......yeah, nobody deserves that shit. Especially in a webcomic where most of the characters are basically serial r*pists, and the supposedly "worst character" who "deserved punishment" was the one whose worst crimes were stealing (then again, he did have some financial issues), plagerism, and being KINDA an asshole (though it was slightly understandable given his past). He actually protected one of his students from getting assaulted by the MC, from what I've heard, so he honestly has higher standards than most of the characters we are supposed to root for. And yet the only character who gets an extreme amount of "punishment" for their actions is the one who is arguably the LEAST terrible character, and a punishment that no one on earth deserves. And even if it was, his actions weren't NEARLY bad enough to warrent something so violent. I also heard that the author thought that he completely deserved it and his abuser should get more sympathy, but that Minho was also based off of a real person, so that's extra messed up. In conclusion, fuck Sadistic Beauty, fuck Woongyung, and fuck the author for making something so messed up whilst trying to justify and excuse literal graphic r*pe (Sorry this is so passionate, I literally just finished reading that disturbing mess)
I remember seeing that on toonliy, and read the description, I normally go to the most fucked up story like red light, honey trap, Venus guy trap, and predatory art. But just the description alone makes steer clear of it. I might read it to check on how shit it is. Hopefully it's worse then extra credit

I mean, I don't like Redo of Healer as much as the next guy......but at least the protagonist has an actual reason for being a piece of shit. He was enslaved, drugged, raped, used, abused, lost his everything and ended up snapping, aka going insane. He is bonkers and doesn't care what happens to him afterwards, he just wanted to inflict every punishment and misery that was inflicted on him back at his abusers. But even so, he struggles to never lay a finger on anyone who hasn't done anything to him.....so at least he can be better than the "heroes" who did this to him. This chick was born with a silver spoon on her mouth and lived a cushy life as a princess.....and believes she is entitled to everything she wishes. She reminds me of Flare from Redo of Healer
Plus we literally are being shoved in the face to not like him because he is an ass. The other characters are asses but some are just really nice people but MC is just a total shitbag. If he dies a horrible death in the ending then good
I actually think Flare is better than the main girl in this webcomic because in Redo of Healer's light novel Flare is given a backstory that makes her behavior more understandable, but doesn't try to justify it. In one of the extra chapters, it's shown that even though Flare was the daughter of the Jioral King, she had very little status because her mother was a "service woman" which resulted in her living on the streets for some time and her older half siblings, whose mothers were noble women, would torment her because of her low status. This even went as far as the siblings poisoning and killing Flare's mom just to spite her. When Flare awoken to the power of mage hero, she gained a lot of power in the nobility because she was had the hero class and she was daughter of the King. Using that power she banished all of her siblings from the Jioral kingdom (except Norn who wasn't part of Flare tormentors and had a similar background to Flare's, they were actually quite close). Flare ultimately developed a hatred for commoners because they reminded her of how she used to live and she doesn't want to be reminded of that time and abused Keyaru to prove to herself that she was the one in power. I found this backstory surprisingly good and it gave me a better understanding of Flare's motives, but I can still say Flare got what she deserved in the end because she chose to inflect pain and trauma on an innocent person.
@Rolen Brown Uh, so it is a vicious circle of abuse and broken people coping, in horrible ways, after being pushed to the brink. The rest of the heroes don't have backstories that explain why they are pieces of shit.....do they?
@@garreonlefay6703 As far as I know Flare's the only one with a backstory. I need to read more of the light novel since the anime adaptation leaves out these detail that make the characters more interesting.
I second that! Even if it stays as a personal comic or something, I'll support you on it! But one question: what about the red headed one, has he been in the story yet?
@@liilaperhonen036 Currently torturing myself by reading summaries and stuff 💪🏽 I'm gonna try writing all of them in but I know it might be genuinely impossible for a few 😭
That's the problem with these types of comics. So many stories establish that as long as she's a woman, and she's hot, she can get away with anything. Stories like 365 Days, The Kissing Booth, Fifty Shades of Grey, hell even Twilight to a degree have all established that all you need to appeal to young teenagers is a pair of hot, sexy guys & gals. It doesn't matter if what they're doing portrays them as morally bankrupt or generally detestable, as long as they are hot, they can do whatever and get away with it. Any story that relies on this AT ALL automatically checks the terrible box for me. A person should not be vindicated of their bullshit attitude and general crimes against humanity because they are good looking.
365 Days - our personality-less protagonist is kidnapped by a Italian criminal, but that's okay because he is hot The Kissing Booth - the brother of our personality-less protagonist's best friend is clearly an aggressive, emotionaly unstable dude, who literally smacked his own car, startling the protagonist, while demanding and screaming to her to get in, but that's fine, he is hot Fifty Shades of Grey - WTF is going on with Christian Grey? Pretty sure that no one who is normal and is into BDSM acts like that.
I’m 13 and I’ve always loved writing my own original characters, stories and comics. I’ve never been confident in my works, but now I feel ten times more confident knowing grown adults are writing this shit.😃
@@EmilyDuguid fr😭😭 I'm nearly finished with the first draft of my book while writing this comment and it's somehow better written than this comic written by grown adults😭😭😭IM 14😭😭😭☠️☠️☠️
While reading Princess' Jewels, I did notice something was terribly wrong with it But I couldn't wrap my hands around it,thank you for clearing everything about this comic
whenever you notice something wrong, try playing the internet's favorite game: switch the genders. If you switch the gender roles in books like this and begin to projectile vomit in response, then you've identified the disgusting element.
I genuinely dont understand how anyone could not notice the huge clear red flags everywhere on this comic unless your the target age demographic- im concerned tbh
I miss whene Heram stories where about impossibly wholesome protags attracting a cadre of admirers who'd fight over them. Rather than sociopaths literally enslaving people. Ah, Tenchi Muyo you are missed. Or Fruits Baskets? I think it was if you are of that persuasion.
In defense of most harems, at least the ones I've seen and read, the male leads at least seem to have redeeming qualities that make the girls want to be around them (e.g. Clannad, Zero No Tsukaima, Maburaho, etc.). This character in general just seems unpleasant to be in the company of. Personally, I would love to see a spin on this where she is a villain and the men work together to bring her down a few pegs. Although, that might present its own can of worms.
The woke would get mad, just like they did at my comic, The Pensuke Files. Before I revealed W H Y, Pensuke was evil, The woke thought that Pensuke was Trump and Kyubey, despite the lore inaccuracies that would happen if Pensuke WAS Kyubey. (Pensuke is a sentient incubator that has emotions, and is confirmed in my series to be the Father of Kyubey. When I told them why Pensuke was bad was the moment they realized that they were Pensuke, Pensuke wasn’t Kyubey, and that this series goes against the Woke.
Have to say how much i appreciate someone talking about this webtoon and its problems. I have never read a webtoon that made me despise a protagonist like this one. Think my hatred was exacerbated by how the webtoon still presented her in a positive light.
I touched the webtoon cuz I thought the girl on the cover looked like noelle from genshin and after chapter 1 I was like "tf are my eyes witnessing???"
@@Felony10 I LOVE NOELLE- She would beat the crap out of that princess in less than 5 seconds. The girl is everything Princess "Arianna venti" isn't. She's diligent, strong, hard-working and is so sweet ;-;
Yeah, this "princess" is just disgusting. Even if there was a plot twist of her being the reincarnation of the devil, it probably wouldn't have saved this..."comic" from being just awful.
20:24 - 20:48 Don't compare us to them. The Sonic Fanbase had a helluva year last year when we got Sonic Frontiers, a legit GOOD Sonic game. The Sonic Fanbase has plenty of standards, some of them might be severely mixed up, but the fanbase in general has a higher standard of quality than you give them credit for. Please don't compare us to a bunch of prepubescent, stupid teenage girls reading semi-romantic smut on a webcomic site.
Exactly. As a Sonic Fan, I prefer to have a higher standard of quality as well and constantly wish for the best that the franchise can offer because it’s proven that it can create very good and inspiring things. I want it to always try its best to reach for high quality instead of settling for mediocrity. Fans have been getting more critical and watchful of Sonic so that it doesn’t have to settle for less nor repeat past mistakes.
I was a Sonic fan in the '90s, but I've kept an eye on the series sense. Instead of gladly eating crap, when Sega pushes out a turd, the fan base generally isn't happy. They complain, they give constructive criticism, they try to tell Sega what parts they like and what they don't. When a banger game comes out, they celebrate it, play it over and over, mod the hell out of it, and hope and beg for more like that. And, they also make fangames. There's a lot of amateurish crap, but while us Metroid fans have one good complete fangame in AM2R and a couple of decades of clunky aborted messes with the occasional promising but short abandoned demo thrown in, Sonic has multiple high quality complete fan works. There's AIR which is a remake of 3 and Knuckles, probably the most beloved in the series, with several improvements and new features on top of a game already considered peak Sonic by many that I've heard it referred to as hands down the definitive version of S3&K. Another is a 16 bit remake of Sonic Triple Trouble for Game Gear, a title I thought I was the only one that really loved. New stage layouts, cutscenes, special stages, playable characters, ingame cutscenes that seem like a natural progression and evolution form S3&K, and an epic new true final boss for those that have all of the emeralds like what S3&K did turned up to 11, balancing between remaining true to the source material while not being held back by it. Sonic Genesis, the awful, ugly, laggy, downright unplayable port of the original Genesis game to GBA? It didn't take long for fans to build a proper port that runs properly on the GBA and doesn't sacrifice the graphical effects like parallax backgrounds. And I've got to mention Project '06, which while I think is still in the works, takes on the herculean task of taking the worst game in the series, one of the worst games of all time, released rushed, unfinished, and buggy, and tries to fix it up into something genuinely fun and functional, though sadly there's just no fixing that story. I've heard that even Sonic Mania was developed at least in part by people that got their start in fan games. While I don't know how much of this is true when I mention it I often hear it referred to as "the one made by the fans." It is also very highly regarded and pointed to as proof that the classic Sonic games are good after all, as a counterpoint to those who claim that the series was never good and those who like the Genesis games are just nostalgia blind. I'm sure there are plenty more examples. I lost interest in the series around the time it jumped to 3D, but I do follow some streamers that are Sonic fans that have showcased fan projects and filled me in on a lot, and I've witnessed a lot of the discourse firsthand just by being involved in gaming discussions over the years, including seeing how quickly fans were able to whip up a good port of Sonic 1 for GBA after Sega shit the bed with their attempt.
@@redrasegarden you should, MC just breaks gender stereotypes and standards in a good way, also the ML is such a cinnamon roll, they're such a good pair
They literally made the black man as burnt as possible 🤦🏾♀️. And of COURSE he has straight, dark brown hair. I’ve met people darker than this dude, but it was obvious from the hair that the author just race-swapped a white character.
I am so glad other people are discussing this webtoon. I remember how awful it was to read through it with all the gross aspects and the last straw was realizing one of the character's SA experience was likely going to be used as a plot device to push him toward "bonding" with the MC... the same character who was forced into her jewelry box... the whole thing is a dumpster fire and i hope readers come to realize how absolutely messed up the story and its elements are
The chubby dude is her fiancee and in the recent chapters he lost weight through magic and she is now head over heels for him. So basically its saying the only way for fat people to be love is to undergo to what is equivalent to surgery to change your looks. Yeah this webtoon is really terrible.

Tbh I like Redo of A Healer because it's strictly about revenge of a guy he swore to complete because he was literally tortured by all of these psychos from kingdom. The worst thing is that people were pissed off when the guy started his harem, but when he was a just boy he got r4p3d by not only women but also by a man and that was absolutely okay? You have no idea how satisfying it was to watch the guy breaking the biggest bitch's fingers as she was begging him to stop. Maybe it's just me Idc.
Yeah I do hold some issues with that. Rarely do people talk about how the MC was mistreated both in his past life and present. But want him to have moral standards. It's called a dark character for a reason. And revenge will happen
@@SweetOrangeGirl The path to get there was so frustrating though. Stg, it was like what 40-60 chapters until she could actually get her sort of revenge?
@@begonestink2956 Yeah, it was pretty long. But at least it was worth getting her revenge on her poor excuse of a husband and that miserable mistress of his.
This is such a giant pet peeve for me, like stomping on men as a woman does NOT mean it’s okay. It’s literally misandry, and we know damn well if the main girl was a male owning female slaves, it would be a whole different story. But it’s not, they’re both awful.
As someone... that found the webtoon on pinterest while making boards... I hate-read that entire webtoon 3 times just to pick at it like unsavory food from a 1 star restaurant. It was just AWFUL, I was raging the entire time reading the comments of people being mad when others brought up the fact that she's pretty much seeing them AS GOD DAMN OBJECTS for her own weird hormonal satisfaction, the literal plot is just GET A HAREM OF HOT GUYS.... and how people just JUSTIFIED it as "Girlboss!" and so on... It's awful how much of a pretty artstyle when it comes to characters was used for this hot garbage, it was having a beautiful box for a shitty chocolate... But I still don't understand the anatomy in some parts.
I don't know if you've ever seen the anime Saiki K. There was this one female character, named Teruhashi and she was desirable to every boy in the show and want the attention, with the exception of the main character, Saiki, due to him having psychic powers, so he knows her intention. As a result, she sees him as a challenge to get him to admit in his own way, that he's attracted to her. Now I'm mentioning Teruhashi because while both do act like harlots, Teruhashi to give some credit to her, doesn't go out of her way to abuse or keep physically capture men for a harem.
One of the MANY things that made me want to strangle the creators was the betrothed prince that's fatshamed. After he's publicly humiliated, he decides to work out and become fit so he'll be fit for marriage to the awful mc. Once he does that, surprise surprise, he's turned into a villain. The writers really said "We can't have ACTUAL CHARACTER GROWTH! We can't prove the naysayers right!! We have to prove that the princess and all her boy toys were RIGHT to shame this man for being fat, because he's just as ugly on the inside! Yeah!!" Disgusting. Not to mention how everyone in the comments was freaking out about how the prince dude forced a kiss on the princess and they were having a lynch rally in the comment section despite not mentioning anything about the princess' behavior.

Why do little anime or manga with slavery just... free a slave? Like, the example you gave. Why, instead of having a scene in which the slaver mc just keeps the enslaved girl, make him take her cuffs and just say "Hey, you're free now. You can go." It'd lead to a small moment of confusion for the girl, who was mentally prepared to serve him but now is faced with freedom. It ultimately leads to her staying with him not as a slave, but as a friend; however, her mindset is still of a slave and not used to liberty, so she TREATS him like her superior and can't stand up for herself, which is a behavior confronted and dispelled in her arc with the help of the mc; meanwhile, the mc has his own struggles and she, with her supportive, subservient outlook, does her best to aid him. There is a way to make this right and... little of those pieces of media seem to want to try it. Who are the absolute weirdos fetishizing slavery?
The example shown doesn’t really fit how Jack is saying. In the anime (Ancient Magus Bride) he does remove her chains and he doesn’t even make her a slave. The story is more about the world and the main guy teaching the main girl about the world. Give the show a watch I promise it’s great.
Depends on the setting, for example if they are participating if a group(like demihumans, which are often slaves and marginalized in fantasy anime) then releasing the slave could have them simply reinslaved by someone else, of course not every setting has this excuse but it is a fair logical thought
@@thevorhandener5280 Still, if that's the case, can't he just take the girl with him and say "hey, you're free, but I think it's best you stick around"? Just... something to make it clear what he did wasn't to keep her enslaved intentionally. Even if they live a life in which her actions are comparable to a slave, but done out of her volition due to gratitude or interest or friendship, anything, it feels better for me than just "I'm keeping you in the leash, that's okay".
I kinda enjoy the new anime Maou Ore because the (new) 13th Demon King Zagan freed his elf wife-to-be and separated himself from her only to discover love and found a family with her and a surrogate daughter in the end. It’s wholesome.
Broken down to its base elements, Jack and Dannphan reveal the material to be shallow, and its powerful, unstoppable protagonist a villain using her abilities to fulfill her id's desire at the cost of those around her. In a strange sense, The Princess's Jewels could be seen as horror for this reason...
11:07 this panel sounded r*pey..... Sigh ok so chalupa reviewed this on his channel, he reviews webtoons you can go check him out!, he said he's pretty sure that we are following the main antagonist of this webtoon cause there's no way this girl is ok for what she's doing to this fine and upstanding men who i presume have families and certain promises that are supposed to be fulfilled to these families and she acknowledged that but still somehow remained selfish and took these men anyway. I remember a brilliant comment saying: "something about a pure white princess enslaving a group of culturely diverse men sounds very weird to me", a comment following says:" yeah not to mention the dark skinned one wears a collar and happens to be the only neko in the group". Yeah i think this author has some unresolved issues that needs to be fixed and not adapted into this disgusting monstrosity of a webtoon, it seems as if webtoon is allergic to good authors and good writing!.
After you talked about this one the last time, I took a look and guess what...? The ugly man who the princess is supposed to marry gets a make up, and now he's hot they're dating (I only read the last two episodes so if you go check that out, it's over there)
I find it funny how the Female Character in this manhwa reminds me of the OG Villainess (before the reincarnation) in the manhwa "I fell into a Reverse Harem Game", where she literally makes every guy her concubine making her so distasteful. But the only difference was that after the Main Female Lead transmigrated in the Villainess' body she made everything right, even with how she handles the relationships within her harem. She neither forces nor harasses the men and instead freed them from the Villainess' grasps. And what's best was that even though the story still became a reverse harem with her ending up with 7 men, her relationships with them is still by far one of the best I've ever seen in the reverse-harem genre because of how well-written each and everyone of them, especially the Female Lead herself. You literally can ship her with any men in her harem without making other male lead less than the others.
Just another one to add to the pile. Then 20 years later, they're going to wonder why they're still single in a house with five cats if they behave like this.
I think the saddest part of this is how people just blindly follow this, because it's nearly ALL WE GOT. This is the equivalent of seeing a group of starving people and giving them rat poison with sprinkles. They are THAT DESPRETE for food, that they'll thank you for giving them not EVEN something edible, but something to eat at all. It's honestly depressing and shows why GOOD representation is so important. The bar is in the center of the earth.
I’ll give redo this, the cycle of revenge is treated as such. It’s an endless cycle. And while Keyaru gets everything he wants, he’s FUCKING MISERABLE. He has a harem that loves him, but in the words of Loading Crew, “that love comes with a big FUCKING ASTERISK.” Freya is basically an empty puppet…her brain is basically a box of rocks. There’s no person in there to love him. Setsuna only loves Keyaru because she gets to bathe in the blood of the people who attacked her village. If he didn’t give her that, poof! She would be gone. If Keyaru didn’t have a means to trap her, he would be without an ally. kureha? Had to be gaslit before she joined.
Im glad you are talking about this. I've seen in many manhuas where if a female character does something bad or unnecessarily aggressive, mean or whatever, she gets praises and nobody sees anything wrong with it 🤷♀️
Things like gender, race, sexuality, and how they look should be an undertone. Not the primary plot device. A story should focus more on the story, hopes and dreams, goals, and motivations. If it’s bad for a male character do something, doesn’t mean it’s okay for a female to do the same actions. Stop with the crappy writing and double standards. I’m glad someone is shining a light on this
This comic is like if you genderswapped Griffith, removed all the depth from his character and then depicted him as the hero while still having him perform all the same atrocities. Also genuinely disgusting how so many of the readers respond to the blatant hypocrisy and mistreatment of the men in the harem. Those young women have bought into modern feminism wholesale and think sexism being an issue in the past (in western society, still a problem in other parts of the world) justifies them being outright misandrists.
this kind of power fantasy has always been around in comics or fanfiction, that being with main girls or men, they were always so annoying making the other characters feel like objects. But i thought at same point, people could think "hey maybe we shouldn't make our main character a shithead and at least give some positive traits", or even being one-note is better than being a Narcissistic character. But I guess these will never go away.
Another awful part that I've seen in a lot of webtoons is the black character isn't drawn well. They just slap a darker color on and usually they end up looking ashy or plain weird. They also have to add an animal attribute to them and always find a way to call them savage.
If you guys want an actually GOOD story that has a powerful female main character along with a really intriguing story and an awesome art style, try Your Throne. My favorite comic hands down.
I would say redo is way more justifiable bcs it’s never like we are supposed to like the mc, which I feel like is lost on people. Feels like people just think you are supposed to root for the mc when that really isn’t the case, unless of course they go with this story where they push it like that that. I mean it’s like mushoku tensei, no one really is supposed to like the mc for obvious reasons and the story doesn’t really try to do so when it comes to his character, just feels like FL type stories are just always adding in the most apparent aspects of a ML story and forgetting that the is an actual story to these things
In the comment of the Sonic fanbase... At least they've got nostalgia goggles as an excuse, in some parts, while others recognize the shit quality they're given. This is straight up unexcusable shit.
I have a lot of problems with this, but I'm hyperfixating on the damn PNG/3D models. Now I do use 3D models or Minecraft to try and figure out backgrounds but I sketch over it and then polish it up, it'd be weird if like half my backgrounds was just Minecraft screenshots
I have a “main character” who’s like this… She slowly turns evil after realizing that she is a mc and starts seeing people as NPCs that are only there for her amusement. And there’s other better female protagonists to rote for. And no mc doesn’t have some last minute bs redemption arc.
If you like reading toxic relationships. Fine. Do your thing. But don’t have this kind of thing were little girls can see it. At least have this showing a healthy relationship so it’s at least more appropriate. Maybe safe words and consent. Like the collar, at least wait a little and ask if he’s ok with it. Don’t just tell him to wear it. Ask the blond guy if he’s ok with public humiliation or something. She just so evil 😭😭😭💀💀💀
The red haired prince in it when it introduces him he is like some murder machine and like really scary but when he means idiot princess he is like all cludly and soft etc and they just forget that he could kill millions like they just throw out whst they said about him out the window also the cretor makes thesee long introductions which I'm to lazy to read and the comments which supports the comic made me have a mental brake dwon
This isnt only a female thing. Even in really popular male driven shows like jobless reincarnation and shield hero, the protagonists are literally buying slaves or sexualising them. Im so sick of this trope.
@@Crescent1400 And if I may He seems to be the only "Jewel" of color Out of all of them why is black guy the one that has to wear the collar Anyone else could've been the wolf
I never tempted to read princess of jewel. The resume already make me puke. And usually the type of "girlboss" would have pathetic and whiny male leads.
I must say, generally speaking I try to be fair to comics that are obviously just exploring a festish, but the more you went on, the more disgusted I was by the comic. I think it has every right to exist, but I agree, it should not be on webtoon. It delves into subject matter that you usually only find in hentai. And so that is where it should go, down into that deep dark, writhing pit. :) Great video! It was a lot of fun to watch! I also like how you work in the sponsorship, making it fun and playful, not interupting the flow of the video!
28:23 - for some reason I think person who wrote comment is privilaged white girl and closest she ever came to "being abused by Patriarchy" was when her daddy refused to buy her a pony
I generally agree with this, outside of the target demographic part. I have looked a little further into this kind of thing than I want to admit, and found that these weird female power fantasy manhua's set in pseudo-european fantasy lands are usually based on Korean light novels, which are typically marketed towards unmarried working class women rather than teenage girls. These are typically young women who are overworked, underpaid, and underappreciated thanks to South Korean societal norms still being pretty patriarchal in spite of the progress they've made so far. You can see it in a lot of their isekai-type media, actually; they're pretty blatant about the kind of people they expect to be projecting onto these main characters. The light novel industry lives and dies off of the tastes of people who are usually just looking for the literary equivalent of comfort food; something that's not necessarily healthy, but tastes good and provides a sense of comfort in its predictability and indulgence. The abusiveness of the female lead is, at least in my own theory, something meant to be shocking, but also strangely indulgent. There is a sort of misandristic vitriol that accompanies these sort of power fantasies, because the audience on some level wants to be lent some fantasy of control, even if they don't play nice in the process. It's fucked up, but sexism is indeed a double-edged sword; the same standards that place a woman on a lower level than men also enable abusive women to get away with their actions because the man's expected to be "above" getting abused. It's a shame that it's found an accidental market in Western teens, considering I don't think it's a good thing that kids are taking in so much media that includes so much blatant racism, sexism (both misandry and misogyny if I'll be frank), sexual abuse apologism, etc. Webtoon markets these comics so hard because it's what makes them the most in ad revenue, but it doesn't really take into consideration just what it's promoting in the process.
With most harem anime (that I see at least) it's often the girls falling for the dude because the dude is nice. Kind of lame but it's better than scum of the Earth collecting human beings.
After learning more about Princess's Jewels in the video, it just fueled my strong dislike of abuse being played for laughs even further 😡 When a man mistreats women is unacceptable but when the roles are reversed and it's a woman abusing men is okay because she's attractive..?! Normally I enjoy female protagonists and inclusivity (if done RIGHT), but if you write her as an unlikable, insufferable character, a bland Mary Sue or just a terrible person who gets no repercussion for her awful behavior whatsoever, not to mention shoehorning in inclusivity just for brownie points but do a terrible job at portraying characters of ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disabilities, etc, then that's where I draw the line at bad character writing, ESPECIALLY romanticizing abuse and cruelty
I usually hate the "what is the genders were reversed" argument but, here is an actual pretty good exemple even if, we should not collectively forgot 5O shades of gray where a man had this type of behavior and people praised it. Still, people excuse those terrifying creepy behavior from both the comic and the author and i believe we should remind people of that : just because the patriarchy is a thing doesn't mean that women being predators don't exist, they do and can be (often are) just as dangerous as men, and we should never excuse or ignore it. As long as someone can be in a position of power, they can abuse it no matter who they are, and hey, as unconfortable as it is, it could be you. or as i'll say in cringier way : "With a lot of girlboss power come a lot of girlboss responsability"
I don't mind bluntly evil protagonists as long as the story is aware that they're evil, but this... oh god. I like this type of shit, but not when it's so unaware. Bitch is sexually assaulting men and then going on about how using your power to get sexual gratification is gross and unapologetic and looking at it all... It scares me honestly. Most of the readers of it are probably teen girls getting into this world and it's just so terrifying what they're taught by that.

The Princess's Jewels would highkey be an amazing set up for a fantasy dystopia where only the beautiful are even allowed to exist. And because the princess is so shallow she naively thinks a beautiful world is better than an ugly one. But then again this idea would require the creators to use their brain instead of their hormones.

@@b3rz3rk3r9 the anime did have a similar concept except the protag turns into a pretty girl to go against the princess and her henchmen
@@libraeevee9467 AH, I get it now... yeah, I got nothing.
Also as a 16 year old girl saying that if a woman abuses a man is "girlbossing" is completely wrong. Nobody deserves abuse NOBODY. It's already hard enough for men to confirm they've been abused by a woman to the police and it's also infuriating seeing these type of creators normalizing male abuse.
Yeah cause men aren't supposed to have feelings and they can't suffer!1!!1!!!
As a 15 year old, agree. Although there isn't many, I'm glad that some children who uses webtoon at least knows what's wrong and right. I mean, I didn't even know this existed until it popped up in my recommendations. I've only been reading fluffs. Imagine the ones who're naive enough to to believe this?? The whole girlbossing thing is getting on my nerves, cause if your nice, quite, feminine, well mannered, and doesn't indulge hardcore physical activity you're considered 'pick me' or 'traditional' and 'not women empowering'
When most of the readers are probably girls reading in the corner of their rooms. I just hope they'd come to their senses and ignore this, move on and find better, age appropriate, life teaching moral story... The adult life isn't something we should rush to see and make assumptions 😔😔😔
as a 13 year old dude, i don't actually know, i haven't watched the video long enough to have an opinion on it :/
I've seen social experiment. 2 actors (man and woman) went onto the street, when man was yelling at woman people reacted quickly. When woman yelled at man and even got physical nobody did anything
While I think there's some grain of truth in the idea that men generally "should" be "tougher" than women, in the sense of not easily getting upset over very small things, the idea has definitely become twisted and harmful to the point where it stops men from seeking help for their problems. Men, like all human beings, have emotions and will have bad days, and if society tells them that the only acceptable ways of expressing that are violence and alcoholism, well, guess what happens?
What annoyed me the most is that despite her “jewel” collection, she gets with this noble who used to be fat and evil. But now he’s skinny and evil, and all of a sudden she wants to have sex with him. She ends up neglecting her “jewels”, and her new boy toy is actively threatening them as well. I kid you not, this is where the story left off.

Real.
You know there’s a very simple way to make this comic less repulsive - just cut the slavery bit and have the main character just go around having sex with a bunch of dudes. Consensual sex between adults. That’s it. And at the end of each one night stand, the dudes give her a jewel to remember them by.
You can even give her a sympathetic backstory of being held to high standards as a member of the royal family, and even more so as a woman in a male dominated society. And by having sex with all these guys, she’s getting the closest thing to a normal relationship she’s ever had. She’s not some political pawn or some delicate dainty flower. In these men’s eyes, she is a woman, a sexual being.
There, problem solved. The readers can have their cake and eat it too.

The Ancient Magus Bride is not a good example to use in this video. For 1 thing Chise is not Elias's slave. He bought her simply because she wa being sold and that was the only way to free her eithout making an issue. Then she is freed. He doesn't treat her like a slave and she isn't bound to him. The only shackles attached to Chise are the metaphorical ones due to the nature of her being and her past that lead her to be sold. The reason she stays is because she doesn't have a reason to leave and lacks self worth and the story goes on with her finding her way and choosing what she wants to do and staying with Elias and the Silver Lady and Ruth because she sees them as her family and new home.
So attaching THAT story to this is apples and oranges to be honest

Hey can you make a video on “sadistic beauty”? Once a friend recommended me to read one of it’s side stories and I accidentally read the main one and…. Man, it is one of the most infuriating stories you can ever read. Just like the princess’ jewels the story is centered around a really unlike able female character who also has a harem. she always acts toxic towards ‘her lovers’ and even r*pes some of them! The worst part about it is the fact that the author expects us to cheer for her and praise her for being such an independent woman! Im 100% sure that if the main character was a man this story would be torn apart by the others and its an unfortunate that NO ONE is talking about it…
OMG THIS!!!
I once hoped this manhwa would somehow get better, as it had potential to go in the right direction, but nowadays I don't want to hear anything about it.
Not only it is a burning trashcan of a comic (very beautiful-looking though, props to the artist) , but is also full of incredibly wrong and awful BDSM "representation".
And the fact that the author painted my man Minho as some sort of bastard when he is THE VICTIM and big part of fandom treats him the same + there are rumors that this character is based off some real person from author's life is terrifying, this shit NEEDS to be addressed
HONESTLYYY I've been hate reading sadistic beauty and its side story and it's a good way for me to get worked up BAHAH
I feel so bad for Minho, like he's a piece of shit sure, but he wasn't even given the chance to redeem himself-- even after everything he went through. Meanwhile Dunna and her enabler bf got away with whatever tf they're doing scott free
The art is very pretty though and ngl I was very attracted to Dunna at first, but her personality sucks ass lol
Just read the side story about Minho due to your comment.....
I'm gonna gorge my eyes out what the actual hell was that-
It was legitimately one of the most horrifying things I have read in my life. I understand that people hated Minho (though he was a complicated person), so I decided to make up a really unlikeable character who did some of the same things as him (but not anything worse), and then I put this OC in his place in order to see how I'd feel about seeing him get treated the way he was, and......yeah, nobody deserves that shit. Especially in a webcomic where most of the characters are basically serial r*pists, and the supposedly "worst character" who "deserved punishment" was the one whose worst crimes were stealing (then again, he did have some financial issues), plagerism, and being KINDA an asshole (though it was slightly understandable given his past). He actually protected one of his students from getting assaulted by the MC, from what I've heard, so he honestly has higher standards than most of the characters we are supposed to root for.
And yet the only character who gets an extreme amount of "punishment" for their actions is the one who is arguably the LEAST terrible character, and a punishment that no one on earth deserves. And even if it was, his actions weren't NEARLY bad enough to warrent something so violent. I also heard that the author thought that he completely deserved it and his abuser should get more sympathy, but that Minho was also based off of a real person, so that's extra messed up.
In conclusion, fuck Sadistic Beauty, fuck Woongyung, and fuck the author for making something so messed up whilst trying to justify and excuse literal graphic r*pe
(Sorry this is so passionate, I literally just finished reading that disturbing mess)
It’s sad and stupid how there are these common myths on how men cannot be abused. It’s super. stupid. you guys get what i mean?

I mean, I don't like Redo of Healer as much as the next guy......but at least the protagonist has an actual reason for being a piece of shit. He was enslaved, drugged, raped, used, abused, lost his everything and ended up snapping, aka going insane.
He is bonkers and doesn't care what happens to him afterwards, he just wanted to inflict every punishment and misery that was inflicted on him back at his abusers. But even so, he struggles to never lay a finger on anyone who hasn't done anything to him.....so at least he can be better than the "heroes" who did this to him.
This chick was born with a silver spoon on her mouth and lived a cushy life as a princess.....and believes she is entitled to everything she wishes. She reminds me of Flare from Redo of Healer

,,Bad ending" anchievment run
I actually think Flare is better than the main girl in this webcomic because in Redo of Healer's light novel Flare is given a backstory that makes her behavior more understandable, but doesn't try to justify it.
In one of the extra chapters, it's shown that even though Flare was the daughter of the Jioral King, she had very little status because her mother was a "service woman" which resulted in her living on the streets for some time and her older half siblings, whose mothers were noble women, would torment her because of her low status. This even went as far as the siblings poisoning and killing Flare's mom just to spite her. When Flare awoken to the power of mage hero, she gained a lot of power in the nobility because she was had the hero class and she was daughter of the King. Using that power she banished all of her siblings from the Jioral kingdom (except Norn who wasn't part of Flare tormentors and had a similar background to Flare's, they were actually quite close). Flare ultimately developed a hatred for commoners because they reminded her of how she used to live and she doesn't want to be reminded of that time and abused Keyaru to prove to herself that she was the one in power.
I found this backstory surprisingly good and it gave me a better understanding of Flare's motives, but I can still say Flare got what she deserved in the end because she chose to inflect pain and trauma on an innocent person.
@Rolen Brown Uh, so it is a vicious circle of abuse and broken people coping, in horrible ways, after being pushed to the brink.
The rest of the heroes don't have backstories that explain why they are pieces of shit.....do they?
@@garreonlefay6703 As far as I know Flare's the only one with a backstory. I need to read more of the light novel since the anime adaptation leaves out these detail that make the characters more interesting.

That's the problem with these types of comics. So many stories establish that as long as she's a woman, and she's hot, she can get away with anything. Stories like 365 Days, The Kissing Booth, Fifty Shades of Grey, hell even Twilight to a degree have all established that all you need to appeal to young teenagers is a pair of hot, sexy guys & gals. It doesn't matter if what they're doing portrays them as morally bankrupt or generally detestable, as long as they are hot, they can do whatever and get away with it.
Any story that relies on this AT ALL automatically checks the terrible box for me. A person should not be vindicated of their bullshit attitude and general crimes against humanity because they are good looking.

The Sonic Fanbase has plenty of standards, some of them might be severely mixed up, but the fanbase in general has a higher standard of quality than you give them credit for. Please don't compare us to a bunch of prepubescent, stupid teenage girls reading semi-romantic smut on a webcomic site.
As a sonic fan I agree 😎 it’s been getting better
Exactly. As a Sonic Fan, I prefer to have a higher standard of quality as well and constantly wish for the best that the franchise can offer because it’s proven that it can create very good and inspiring things. I want it to always try its best to reach for high quality instead of settling for mediocrity. Fans have been getting more critical and watchful of Sonic so that it doesn’t have to settle for less nor repeat past mistakes.
Don't forget the second movie, remastered classics, and a new Netflix series.
After five years of drought, 2022 was a peak year for Sonic.
I was a Sonic fan in the '90s, but I've kept an eye on the series sense. Instead of gladly eating crap, when Sega pushes out a turd, the fan base generally isn't happy. They complain, they give constructive criticism, they try to tell Sega what parts they like and what they don't. When a banger game comes out, they celebrate it, play it over and over, mod the hell out of it, and hope and beg for more like that.
And, they also make fangames. There's a lot of amateurish crap, but while us Metroid fans have one good complete fangame in AM2R and a couple of decades of clunky aborted messes with the occasional promising but short abandoned demo thrown in, Sonic has multiple high quality complete fan works.
There's AIR which is a remake of 3 and Knuckles, probably the most beloved in the series, with several improvements and new features on top of a game already considered peak Sonic by many that I've heard it referred to as hands down the definitive version of S3&K.
Another is a 16 bit remake of Sonic Triple Trouble for Game Gear, a title I thought I was the only one that really loved. New stage layouts, cutscenes, special stages, playable characters, ingame cutscenes that seem like a natural progression and evolution form S3&K, and an epic new true final boss for those that have all of the emeralds like what S3&K did turned up to 11, balancing between remaining true to the source material while not being held back by it.
Sonic Genesis, the awful, ugly, laggy, downright unplayable port of the original Genesis game to GBA? It didn't take long for fans to build a proper port that runs properly on the GBA and doesn't sacrifice the graphical effects like parallax backgrounds.
And I've got to mention Project '06, which while I think is still in the works, takes on the herculean task of taking the worst game in the series, one of the worst games of all time, released rushed, unfinished, and buggy, and tries to fix it up into something genuinely fun and functional, though sadly there's just no fixing that story.
I've heard that even Sonic Mania was developed at least in part by people that got their start in fan games. While I don't know how much of this is true when I mention it I often hear it referred to as "the one made by the fans." It is also very highly regarded and pointed to as proof that the classic Sonic games are good after all, as a counterpoint to those who claim that the series was never good and those who like the Genesis games are just nostalgia blind.
I'm sure there are plenty more examples. I lost interest in the series around the time it jumped to 3D, but I do follow some streamers that are Sonic fans that have showcased fan projects and filled me in on a lot, and I've witnessed a lot of the discourse firsthand just by being involved in gaming discussions over the years, including seeing how quickly fans were able to whip up a good port of Sonic 1 for GBA after Sega shit the bed with their attempt.
I dunno i seen sonic frontiers described as a good game and sonic fans having good standars is kinda contradictory.
True girl boss stories are your thorn or remarried empress. Trust me
Or maybe Beware the villainess!
@@Mycorrhiza haven’t read that
@@redrasegarden you should, MC just breaks gender stereotypes and standards in a good way, also the ML is such a cinnamon roll, they're such a good pair
@@Rosabella.Thorne7 ok
Your throne is my favorite manhwa. i love medea so much😂
They literally made the black man as burnt as possible 🤦🏾♀️. And of COURSE he has straight, dark brown hair.
I’ve met people darker than this dude, but it was obvious from the hair that the author just race-swapped a white character.
I am so glad other people are discussing this webtoon. I remember how awful it was to read through it with all the gross aspects and the last straw was realizing one of the character's SA experience was likely going to be used as a plot device to push him toward "bonding" with the MC... the same character who was forced into her jewelry box...
the whole thing is a dumpster fire and i hope readers come to realize how absolutely messed up the story and its elements are
To be fair to redo of healer (I know), it doesn't pretend the main character is a good guy, it knows he is an asshole and doesn't pretend he isn't.
I want a spinoff about the chubby dude she rejected, don't know why.
The chubby dude is her fiancee and in the recent chapters he lost weight through magic and she is now head over heels for him. So basically its saying the only way for fat people to be love is to undergo to what is equivalent to surgery to change your looks.
Yeah this webtoon is really terrible.
@@Crescent1400 She doesn't deserve him. Someone needs to write a story where he gets love as he is
@@HarmonyHope7534 as someone who adores drawing and writing about bigger older men who don't get enough love, this fits right up my ally cause most of my main characters are just that lol if people would actually read and see my illustrations for the spin off the main character WITHOUT making him altra skinny and pretty in the future chapters I'll gladly do it^^
@@Crescent1400 can you tell me the chapter ??? i just wanna see to get my hate going
@@jesthebin1595 chapter 50 i think
Tbh I like Redo of A Healer because it's strictly about revenge of a guy he swore to complete because he was literally tortured by all of these psychos from kingdom.
The worst thing is that people were pissed off when the guy started his harem, but when he was a just boy he got r4p3d by not only women but also by a man and that was absolutely okay?
You have no idea how satisfying it was to watch the guy breaking the biggest bitch's fingers as she was begging him to stop.
Maybe it's just me Idc.
nah fam, revenge is sweet.
It's satisfying to see awful things happening to awful people. It's (part of) why old films always killed off the villains.
Yeah I do hold some issues with that. Rarely do people talk about how the MC was mistreated both in his past life and present. But want him to have moral standards.
It's called a dark character for a reason. And revenge will happen
I mean they only made it like that to try to make him look better
And that worked apparently
I hated that bitch too. So, I've got no problem with him doing those shit to her. I think the ppl who hated it never even watched it 🤷🏻♀️
It's webcomics like this why I believe some people honestly don't deserve the internet...
You should try Your Throne if you're looking for a royal fantasy story with good quality in writing and drawing
Also The Remarried Empress. That webtoon is one of my favorites and the empress is actually likable.
@@SweetOrangeGirl Yeah she has flaws but still she's better than this Ariana garbage
@@SweetOrangeGirl The path to get there was so frustrating though. Stg, it was like what 40-60 chapters until she could actually get her sort of revenge?
@@begonestink2956 Yeah, it was pretty long. But at least it was worth getting her revenge on her poor excuse of a husband and that miserable mistress of his.
@@SweetOrangeGirl FINALLY SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT REMARRIED EMPRESS 😭😭😭😭
If she was treated like the villain it would make it much better
This is such a giant pet peeve for me, like stomping on men as a woman does NOT mean it’s okay. It’s literally misandry, and we know damn well if the main girl was a male owning female slaves, it would be a whole different story. But it’s not, they’re both awful.
As someone... that found the webtoon on pinterest while making boards... I hate-read that entire webtoon 3 times just to pick at it like unsavory food from a 1 star restaurant. It was just AWFUL, I was raging the entire time reading the comments of people being mad when others brought up the fact that she's pretty much seeing them AS GOD DAMN OBJECTS for her own weird hormonal satisfaction, the literal plot is just GET A HAREM OF HOT GUYS.... and how people just JUSTIFIED it as "Girlboss!" and so on... It's awful how much of a pretty artstyle when it comes to characters was used for this hot garbage, it was having a beautiful box for a shitty chocolate... But I still don't understand the anatomy in some parts.
I don't know if you've ever seen the anime Saiki K. There was this one female character, named Teruhashi and she was desirable to every boy in the show and want the attention, with the exception of the main character, Saiki, due to him having psychic powers, so he knows her intention. As a result, she sees him as a challenge to get him to admit in his own way, that he's attracted to her. Now I'm mentioning Teruhashi because while both do act like harlots, Teruhashi to give some credit to her, doesn't go out of her way to abuse or keep physically capture men for a harem.
Teruhashi is perfect, unlike whatever on earth happened here
How to do "whatever the fuck this is" and "whoever the fuck that was" right
One of the MANY things that made me want to strangle the creators was the betrothed prince that's fatshamed. After he's publicly humiliated, he decides to work out and become fit so he'll be fit for marriage to the awful mc. Once he does that, surprise surprise, he's turned into a villain. The writers really said "We can't have ACTUAL CHARACTER GROWTH! We can't prove the naysayers right!! We have to prove that the princess and all her boy toys were RIGHT to shame this man for being fat, because he's just as ugly on the inside! Yeah!!" Disgusting. Not to mention how everyone in the comments was freaking out about how the prince dude forced a kiss on the princess and they were having a lynch rally in the comment section despite not mentioning anything about the princess' behavior.
This is why I wanna make a webtoon. I want to make something better than this garbage webcomic
I’ll be your first reader 😌
@@amymoon1295 wait fr??. Awesome!!
What kind of story though?
@@ahero4357 I have a little idea for it.
So my project story takes place in the orgeon territory in the 1300's. And it's about these three creatures that are avenging their families that were slaughtered by hunters
@@Beannnskies i really like the idea!
God these webtoon creators really like making their MC's look punchable, huh?
I think inclusivity works best if the people represented are treated as people first. G.I Joe made all the way back in the 80s did it better. You got people of all races on both sides.
Im a woman and I feel blessed to have never touched that when I was 14
Why do little anime or manga with slavery just... free a slave?
Like, the example you gave. Why, instead of having a scene in which the slaver mc just keeps the enslaved girl, make him take her cuffs and just say "Hey, you're free now. You can go." It'd lead to a small moment of confusion for the girl, who was mentally prepared to serve him but now is faced with freedom. It ultimately leads to her staying with him not as a slave, but as a friend; however, her mindset is still of a slave and not used to liberty, so she TREATS him like her superior and can't stand up for herself, which is a behavior confronted and dispelled in her arc with the help of the mc; meanwhile, the mc has his own struggles and she, with her supportive, subservient outlook, does her best to aid him.
There is a way to make this right and... little of those pieces of media seem to want to try it. Who are the absolute weirdos fetishizing slavery?
The example shown doesn’t really fit how Jack is saying. In the anime (Ancient Magus Bride) he does remove her chains and he doesn’t even make her a slave. The story is more about the world and the main guy teaching the main girl about the world. Give the show a watch I promise it’s great.
Depends on the setting, for example if they are participating if a group(like demihumans, which are often slaves and marginalized in fantasy anime) then releasing the slave could have them simply reinslaved by someone else, of course not every setting has this excuse but it is a fair logical thought
@@thevorhandener5280 Still, if that's the case, can't he just take the girl with him and say "hey, you're free, but I think it's best you stick around"? Just... something to make it clear what he did wasn't to keep her enslaved intentionally. Even if they live a life in which her actions are comparable to a slave, but done out of her volition due to gratitude or interest or friendship, anything, it feels better for me than just "I'm keeping you in the leash, that's okay".
I kinda enjoy the new anime Maou Ore because the (new) 13th Demon King Zagan freed his elf wife-to-be and separated himself from her only to discover love and found a family with her and a surrogate daughter in the end. It’s wholesome.
There is no way they gave the ONLY black character ANIMAL FEATURES and gave him a fucking COLLAR
Broken down to its base elements, Jack and Dannphan reveal the material to be shallow, and its powerful, unstoppable protagonist a villain using her abilities to fulfill her id's desire at the cost of those around her.
In a strange sense, The Princess's Jewels could be seen as horror for this reason...
11:07 this panel sounded r*pey..... Sigh ok so chalupa reviewed this on his channel, he reviews webtoons you can go check him out!, he said he's pretty sure that we are following the main antagonist of this webtoon cause there's no way this girl is ok for what she's doing to this fine and upstanding men who i presume have families and certain promises that are supposed to be fulfilled to these families and she acknowledged that but still somehow remained selfish and took these men anyway. I remember a brilliant comment saying: "something about a pure white princess enslaving a group of culturely diverse men sounds very weird to me", a comment following says:" yeah not to mention the dark skinned one wears a collar and happens to be the only neko in the group". Yeah i think this author has some unresolved issues that needs to be fixed and not adapted into this disgusting monstrosity of a webtoon, it seems as if webtoon is allergic to good authors and good writing!.
After you talked about this one the last time, I took a look and guess what...? The ugly man who the princess is supposed to marry gets a make up, and now he's hot they're dating (I only read the last two episodes so if you go check that out, it's over there)
If you want a girlboss webtoon, read your throne
I find it funny how the Female Character in this manhwa reminds me of the OG Villainess (before the reincarnation) in the manhwa "I fell into a Reverse Harem Game", where she literally makes every guy her concubine making her so distasteful. But the only difference was that after the Main Female Lead transmigrated in the Villainess' body she made everything right, even with how she handles the relationships within her harem. She neither forces nor harasses the men and instead freed them from the Villainess' grasps. And what's best was that even though the story still became a reverse harem with her ending up with 7 men, her relationships with them is still by far one of the best I've ever seen in the reverse-harem genre because of how well-written each and everyone of them, especially the Female Lead herself. You literally can ship her with any men in her harem without making other male lead less than the others.
Just another one to add to the pile. Then 20 years later, they're going to wonder why they're still single in a house with five cats if they behave like this.
5 cats? nah they got it good then
Yeah no thank you I ain't touching that
I think the saddest part of this is how people just blindly follow this, because it's nearly ALL WE GOT. This is the equivalent of seeing a group of starving people and giving them rat poison with sprinkles. They are THAT DESPRETE for food, that they'll thank you for giving them not EVEN something edible, but something to eat at all. It's honestly depressing and shows why GOOD representation
is so important. The bar is in the center of the earth.
The princess's jewels is good because it actually makes a perfect example on how to makea female villain that would actually be hated
I’ll give redo this, the cycle of revenge is treated as such. It’s an endless cycle. And while Keyaru gets everything he wants, he’s FUCKING MISERABLE. He has a harem that loves him, but in the words of Loading Crew, “that love comes with a big FUCKING ASTERISK.” Freya is basically an empty puppet…her brain is basically a box of rocks. There’s no person in there to love him. Setsuna only loves Keyaru because she gets to bathe in the blood of the people who attacked her village. If he didn’t give her that, poof! She would be gone. If Keyaru didn’t have a means to trap her, he would be without an ally. kureha? Had to be gaslit before she joined.
Im glad you are talking about this. I've seen in many manhuas where if a female character does something bad or unnecessarily aggressive, mean or whatever, she gets praises and nobody sees anything wrong with it 🤷♀️
Things like gender, race, sexuality, and how they look should be an undertone. Not the primary plot device. A story should focus more on the story, hopes and dreams, goals, and motivations. If it’s bad for a male character do something, doesn’t mean it’s okay for a female to do the same actions. Stop with the crappy writing and double standards.
I’m glad someone is shining a light on this
This comic is like if you genderswapped Griffith, removed all the depth from his character and then depicted him as the hero while still having him perform all the same atrocities.
Also genuinely disgusting how so many of the readers respond to the blatant hypocrisy and mistreatment of the men in the harem. Those young women have bought into modern feminism wholesale and think sexism being an issue in the past (in western society, still a problem in other parts of the world) justifies them being outright misandrists.
this kind of power fantasy has always been around in comics or fanfiction, that being with main girls or men, they were always so annoying making the other characters feel like objects. But i thought at same point, people could think "hey maybe we shouldn't make our main character a shithead and at least give some positive traits", or even being one-note is better than being a Narcissistic character. But I guess these will never go away.
Another awful part that I've seen in a lot of webtoons is the black character isn't drawn well. They just slap a darker color on and usually they end up looking ashy or plain weird. They also have to add an animal attribute to them and always find a way to call them savage.
If you guys want an actually GOOD story that has a powerful female main character along with a really intriguing story and an awesome art style, try Your Throne. My favorite comic hands down.
I would say redo is way more justifiable bcs it’s never like we are supposed to like the mc, which I feel like is lost on people. Feels like people just think you are supposed to root for the mc when that really isn’t the case, unless of course they go with this story where they push it like that that. I mean it’s like mushoku tensei, no one really is supposed to like the mc for obvious reasons and the story doesn’t really try to do so when it comes to his character, just feels like FL type stories are just always adding in the most apparent aspects of a ML story and forgetting that the is an actual story to these things
Yeah- I’m just gonna read this as the FL as a villain and all the men in her harem have a massive degradation and S&M kink.
10/10 Collab. ;)
25:13 is a perfect example of "It's only okay if I do it."
In the comment of the Sonic fanbase... At least they've got nostalgia goggles as an excuse, in some parts, while others recognize the shit quality they're given.
This is straight up unexcusable shit.
I have a lot of problems with this, but I'm hyperfixating on the damn PNG/3D models. Now I do use 3D models or Minecraft to try and figure out backgrounds but I sketch over it and then polish it up, it'd be weird if like half my backgrounds was just Minecraft screenshots
bro at this point webtoon would take a comic about a female kidnaping a kid and turning him to her husband because girl boss and soooo kind

Wow, I am surprised you went through this shit. I couldn't get past the first couple of pages. I lost interest. Now I'm glad I didn't continue it.
Mans did not have to do ancient magus bride dirty like that
I have a “main character” who’s like this…
She slowly turns evil after realizing that she is a mc and starts seeing people as NPCs that are only there for her amusement. And there’s other better female protagonists to rote for. And no mc doesn’t have some last minute bs redemption arc.
If you like reading toxic relationships. Fine. Do your thing. But don’t have this kind of thing were little girls can see it. At least have this showing a healthy relationship so it’s at least more appropriate. Maybe safe words and consent. Like the collar, at least wait a little and ask if he’s ok with it. Don’t just tell him to wear it. Ask the blond guy if he’s ok with public humiliation or something. She just so evil 😭😭😭💀💀💀
Crazy how she only puts a collar on the only black character in the webtoon
The red haired prince in it when it introduces him he is like some murder machine and like really scary but when he means idiot princess he is like all cludly and soft etc and they just forget that he could kill millions like they just throw out whst they said about him out the window also the cretor makes thesee long introductions which I'm to lazy to read and the comments which supports the comic made me have a mental brake dwon
This isnt only a female thing. Even in really popular male driven shows like jobless reincarnation and shield hero, the protagonists are literally buying slaves or sexualising them. Im so sick of this trope.
Did she have all of them wear collars, or just the black man?
Just the black character and the reason for that is because he is also a werewolf.
@@Crescent1400 And if I may
He seems to be the only "Jewel" of color
Out of all of them why is black guy the one that has to wear the collar
Anyone else could've been the wolf
This comic was so bad that Jack needed Dannphan to help him /nm nice to see someone else with Jack for this video! I bet he really needed it!🌱🌱💕💕
It's so rare that princesses are the bad guys.
I actually love the sales voice you get when talking about the tablet. Its cheesy in the best way 😂
I never tempted to read princess of jewel. The resume already make me puke. And usually the type of "girlboss" would have pathetic and whiny male leads.
I’ve never read this but I’m so embarrassed and disgusted that webtoon recommended it to me 😭
I must say, generally speaking I try to be fair to comics that are obviously just exploring a festish, but the more you went on, the more disgusted I was by the comic.
I think it has every right to exist, but I agree, it should not be on webtoon. It delves into subject matter that you usually only find in hentai. And so that is where it should go, down into that deep dark, writhing pit. :)
Great video! It was a lot of fun to watch! I also like how you work in the sponsorship, making it fun and playful, not interupting the flow of the video!
both this and redo of healer should vanish through the sands of time and never found again
Hmmm so basically a mary sue
28:23 - for some reason I think person who wrote comment is privilaged white girl and closest she ever came to "being abused by Patriarchy" was when her daddy refused to buy her a pony
I generally agree with this, outside of the target demographic part. I have looked a little further into this kind of thing than I want to admit, and found that these weird female power fantasy manhua's set in pseudo-european fantasy lands are usually based on Korean light novels, which are typically marketed towards unmarried working class women rather than teenage girls.
These are typically young women who are overworked, underpaid, and underappreciated thanks to South Korean societal norms still being pretty patriarchal in spite of the progress they've made so far. You can see it in a lot of their isekai-type media, actually; they're pretty blatant about the kind of people they expect to be projecting onto these main characters. The light novel industry lives and dies off of the tastes of people who are usually just looking for the literary equivalent of comfort food; something that's not necessarily healthy, but tastes good and provides a sense of comfort in its predictability and indulgence.
The abusiveness of the female lead is, at least in my own theory, something meant to be shocking, but also strangely indulgent. There is a sort of misandristic vitriol that accompanies these sort of power fantasies, because the audience on some level wants to be lent some fantasy of control, even if they don't play nice in the process. It's fucked up, but sexism is indeed a double-edged sword; the same standards that place a woman on a lower level than men also enable abusive women to get away with their actions because the man's expected to be "above" getting abused.
It's a shame that it's found an accidental market in Western teens, considering I don't think it's a good thing that kids are taking in so much media that includes so much blatant racism, sexism (both misandry and misogyny if I'll be frank), sexual abuse apologism, etc. Webtoon markets these comics so hard because it's what makes them the most in ad revenue, but it doesn't really take into consideration just what it's promoting in the process.
The sonic fanbase shade is wild because those guys are complaining about something.
With most harem anime (that I see at least) it's often the girls falling for the dude because the dude is nice. Kind of lame but it's better than scum of the Earth collecting human beings.
this has reached new levels of incomprehensible double standards that i cant even begin to fathom
Love this "crossover" between you and dannphan! Hope you two will do more videos together
After learning more about Princess's Jewels in the video, it just fueled my strong dislike of abuse being played for laughs even further 😡 When a man mistreats women is unacceptable but when the roles are reversed and it's a woman abusing men is okay because she's attractive..?!
Normally I enjoy female protagonists and inclusivity (if done RIGHT), but if you write her as an unlikable, insufferable character, a bland Mary Sue or just a terrible person who gets no repercussion for her awful behavior whatsoever, not to mention shoehorning in inclusivity just for brownie points but do a terrible job at portraying characters of ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disabilities, etc, then that's where I draw the line at bad character writing, ESPECIALLY romanticizing abuse and cruelty
Yea she’s gotta get taken out like Julius Caesar at the end of the story
At this point,I'm pretty sure the webtoon got cancelled,there haven't been any updates for a few months now
I really never liked Ariana, but I decided to reread it to see if my mind would change. It was a terrible mistake.
I usually hate the "what is the genders were reversed" argument but, here is an actual pretty good exemple even if, we should not collectively forgot 5O shades of gray where a man had this type of behavior and people praised it. Still, people excuse those terrifying creepy behavior from both the comic and the author and i believe we should remind people of that : just because the patriarchy is a thing doesn't mean that women being predators don't exist, they do and can be (often are) just as dangerous as men, and we should never excuse or ignore it. As long as someone can be in a position of power, they can abuse it no matter who they are, and hey, as unconfortable as it is, it could be you.
or as i'll say in cringier way : "With a lot of girlboss power come a lot of girlboss responsability"
The black guy has a collar 💀💀
I don't mind bluntly evil protagonists as long as the story is aware that they're evil, but this... oh god. I like this type of shit, but not when it's so unaware. Bitch is sexually assaulting men and then going on about how using your power to get sexual gratification is gross and unapologetic and looking at it all... It scares me honestly. Most of the readers of it are probably teen girls getting into this world and it's just so terrifying what they're taught by that.
As a woman, I am raising a brow and questioning everything the author/artist was thinking. 🤨🤨🤨
Yep, the creator of this cancer is pulling off a "the fate" creators
