In the Chapters it had a warning about which pages have rape in it.. you just didn’t read it
If you actually took the time to read it you would understand why the high rating.
But you didn't so you can't understand how beautiful this was.
I guess they better start re-learning again, i mean RE-READ and RE-CHECK
rape isn't beautiful no matter how sweet they make the rest
I wasn't talking about the rape, the story wasn't rape from beginning to end, people who read it knows how it started and how it ended, simple as that
Im gonna be completely honest
Some people like the author have a kink for this kind of stuff and fiction is a good place to indulge in these kinks because we know it's different in real life
It's not something any of us would be okay with in real life but people enjoy rape/rapeplay in fiction/manga/porn which this stuff basically is. Doesnt mean anybody wants or encourages this outside of fiction
So it's not surprising that people read these kinds of tropes. Especially because we know a manga will always end well with everything being fine as if nothing bad or morally wrong ever happened.
Preach Everyone should be free to speak out about their feelings. People gotta learn to stop invalidating other people’s thoughts and feelings and that it’s okay for people to have different opinions about everything. If no one ever criticized anything, then nothing in the world would ever change. And readers who complain about rape aren’t even attacking anyone, they’re just voicing out their opinion about a work of art. Just bc there are trigger warnings doesn’t mean readers aren’t allowed to be upset or angry about the toxic elements in the story. Hope everyone finally realizes that every reader’s feelings are valid
I think you perfectly understood and summed up what i meant with my comment :)
Read my comment again. You did not understand the point I was making
Did you even read my comment?
Even if the story apart from the rape is as beautiful as you claim the rating still should have suffered BECAUSE there was rape. And the comments could have been like: hey I liked the story but why add the unnecessary rape? instead it’s just being ignored as if it didn’t happen and that’s what I don’t like and understand
Lol, listen... some people can differentiate fictional characters from real people, just because it bothered you doesn't mean it should bother others, the reason you don't see people getting upset about rape as much as they did before is because they grew out of it, it's no longer a major issue because the characters aren't even real to begin with meaning is not causing any harm unless you act upon it in real life.
Let's just say everyone mentioned rape in every single comment, what difference would that make to the story? Sometimes is just best to leave fictional characters where it belongs in fictional work.
I am sure nobody here would assault anyone or rape people they found on the streets.
I read it, hence my first reply to your comment
Apologies, I got confused with the replies.
Look I don’t claim or think that ppl that like these stories are some psycho ass ppl. It’s okay to like the story if apart from the rape the story is good. But thats why criticizing bad things should be a must to improve the manga community in the future. Maybe not just here in the comment section but also on other social media so that (the mangaka actually see this) as well. What I’m contemplating is that ppl don’t criticize things like that enough and that’s why this romanticized rape trope is still thing as if it’s necessary. And what I have seen is that good art is enough to make a lot of ppl forget about these things. You can focus on the good but also focus on the bad too. Otherwise it really seems to ppl that do criticize as if y’all just plainly ignoring the problematic stuff maybe don’t even finding it problematic at all. Maybe not a lot of ppl understand this way because they view yaoi as nothing too serious and that’s why they don’t criticize it like they would with a book or a movie but honestly there are so many beautiful and very good yaoi stories and they just go under this whole fanservice type of yaoi or problematic yaoi and that’s why outsider ppl have bad views about this community (which honestly is understandable). Theres a difference between featuring rape as the bad thing it is or just adding it in as if it’s not a problem at all. If they wanted a messy relationship or a messy start into a relationship they could have also done it without that whole problematic. That is what I’m criticizing. I hope you understand from which perspective I’m writing this
Hach another one for the huge pile of „could have been good but no we decided to add some rape“. Btw I didn’t read it because fortunately there were tags. Still puzzling me how we got the over 9.0 rating but it just confirms my theory that ppl don’t care as long the art style is good. There are a lot of stories like that from years ago but they only have 7.6 or smth like that. Why? Bc the art is not that „good“
Okay for all the ppl saying there was a warning: your argument is only solid for ppl complaining that they read into the first chapter and were surprised that there was rape. But most ppl complain because they are disappointed that yet again a story was botched (at least for the most) bc of the decision to add some unnecessary trope. As if a story needs that or worse as if a story couldn’t be good without that.
If you want to read smth. like that, fine be my guest. But don’t complain when ppl voice their disappointment. Without those ppl, the impressionable ppl that read that will eventually regard this as normal. (Aka just look at the whole steaming pile of shojo garbage ;))
