Huh... Is it just me or the FF thread is now the largest thread on DS... ever? Not counting the Image Comments pseudo-thread of course. The FF thread surpassed the Stretch thread just yesterday.
Well it has a lot of good things going for it. Beside the fact that it is a great webtoon by itself there's a few key reasons why discussion is so common.
-It's a weekly, most yuri is monthly and bimonthly and translations etc for most work are not out as soon as the stuff gets out ( it's not online ). This constant flow of content that is always on time is great for discussing, just look at any popular weekly series. This is the most important factor outside of the work itself.
-People who work on giving us the English translation are active in the thread.
-Anon doing god's work and posting 4473746362 fanart and stuff. I'd be interested to know how much he/she is percentage wise in this thread.
-Non verbal communication! What does this has to do with anything? People interpret non verbal communication differently. Everyone thinks X stare or smile means something different. Things are not explicitly said or confirmed and with people seeing the same thing and coming to different conclusion is a big part of FF's discussion I would think.
This recent chapter is a fine example, 1 look from young Seol-a towards a would be friend/love interest and everyone is hot in the debate of what it means. We can only wait for the word of god to save us from endless speculation.
Last but not least, FF fans are the best. Give yourself a nice pat on the back folks.
