Oh, definitely the first one! Most all of the fandom is there for the silly porn, and busting in on their fun screaming "THIS SEX IS PROBLEMATIC GUYS LISTEN TO MEEEE" would just be rude!

It's just that it's difficult to find a forum where people are willing to talk about the story in a little more depth - most discussions on the site itself tend to be buried by the sheer volume of comments, the majority of which are about camping or asking the same question about some aspect of the page that's already been answered 570 times.

(And I know a lot of people think it's dumb to try to analyze/interpret a "shitty yaoi comic," but I actually think flawed works can lead to some really excellent discussions. I've had some great conversations about Twilight, for instance, and nobody's holding that up as a shining example of brilliant literature.)

The comments on Teahouse riffs at http://cry-some-more.demon-sushi.com/ (under the *ahem* "Prostitutes R Us" tag) sometimes have discussions on the problematic issues of Teahouse or thoughts on how the characters or story could be improved from people who clearly are following the comic, if only for a hate-read (they're critical of the Teahouse forums and authors, but generally I get a feeling of "there's potential, but things are just handled so badly" in the comments).
