Started reading the "I'm in love with the villainess" manga and reached this section where we hear the condescending opinions of all the noble characters regarding commoners and a literal movement for equality. Got kinda heated since classism elicits a special, personal kind of anger from me, and got rewarded with based twink representation for sticking through. If this manga ends with the power of yuri dissolving class and achieving communism it'll be an 11/10 from me

twink

I don't know how far the manga has gotten in the story, but uh, Yu's not a twink. Oh, looking it up it's almost through to the end of the second book, so you'll see what I mean.

Don't get your hopes too high. Think more French Revolution (the setting's conceit is that it's a fantasy French Revolution otome game, after all) than Russian Revolution. It still has a lot of good moments, though. I'd say it's a bit better than bog standard lib, but still kind of lib. It's at least the kind of lib that recognizes monarchism and aristocracy is monstrously evil instead of thinking it's quaint and natural, and thinks people should have healthcare and food and rights.

Rae Taylor is still the literal worst though. Claire's good though, eventually. Rae's obsession with her is at least rooted in an understanding of who Claire actually is as a person beneath all the aristocratic grooming and ignorance.
