《 unproblematic men who deserve rights 》
Not-necessarily flawless but lovable, wholesome beings or those who learned to be such <3
Unproblematic not necessarily as in "nice/friendly": I'm okay with ML's having some tsundere behavior to them and being overly nice doesn't equal being non-toxic tbh. Rather than that it's having characteristics that I like in men like: good-natured, respectful, thoughtful, considerate behavior towards the female lead but also to others etc.
This one ain't for toxic, rapey, self-centered, misogynist or borderline pedo male leads.
