So much this.

Love Triangles are basically why I had to stop reading a lot of manwha and kdrama. At first I was also surprised by a lot of love triangles in comics seeming to have an outright or subtextual queer element to them, but that was even worse because it would skip right past the choosing phase straight to TRAGIC BAD END for the third wheel.

Yeah, ugh, tragic endings to love triangles are the worst thing. I just wish writers realised that, in general, love triangles are not obligatory, and if they REALLY have to include one, maybe solving it differently might be interesting for once. It's a cliche that's so ingrained in our media that it's almost impossible to escape it.

(And I'm not even saying "MAKE IT AN OT3 EVERY TIME" - sometimes poly relationships just don't work out, you can get angst from that, too. I just wish poly relationships were even ACKNOWLEDGED beyond the usual "oh yes we are fuck buddies and we can have other sex partners" thing.)

Yeah, that's the most depressing part, I think. It's both inescapable and such an inescapably cheap and lazy device that nobody ever does anything new with. Although it's almost ironic that even 'Harem' crap seems to end up boiling down to love triangle dynamics, most of the time.

(yeah, same :( it's also frustrating that the message of almost every few poly stories i've seen in mainstream media seem to end up with such a negative message of it, too - not even not just working out, but always with this sense of it having been doomed to fail from the start. Like, what was even the point, then? D:)
