Or people could learn to control their own emotions and not have other people coddle them to compensate for it.
Some people could be victims of sexual violence themselves and seeing sexual violence in a manga can be triggering, you abominable twat.
That doesn't make sense either. Actually being triggered is serious psychological discomfort by a stimulus, usually caused by some kind of past trauma. For example, when someone with PTSD from a war gets flashbacks after hearing gunshots. Just being offended by something is not the same as being triggered, and people should not use the word that way.
Being easily offended to something is response to immaturity. You want other people to account for you not controlling your own emotions? Sure someone may be a victim of sexual violence, and it would be a tragedy for anyone to experience something such as that. But the world does not deserve to be covered with pillows.
Toss around "trigger" so much it looses its meaning. I’m kinda concerned that the phrasing of “triggered,” a relatively newly-recognized phenomenon, is jumping past its intended usage. “Triggered” is becoming the new “codependent,” in that it’s a word that’s getting overused and used to mean something other than the original meaning, and therefore starts to mean nothing.
This website is infamous for Yaoi and smut manga, it's not a "safe space" don't be an asshole reverberating opinions that you didn't make yourself.
Definitely not getting into this debate. For future reference though, you can check the tags.
The tags on this site are random, unreliable, and hard to find.
That's why I think the warning needs to be more prominently featured.
Most manga sites make a point of clearly labeling stories that contain: rape/sexual violence, child molestation (shota or lolli), bestiality, necrophilia, etc...
It just seems like a small thing the site could do to protect readers from content the find offensive or personally triggering.
I mean, if I had been a victim of a sexual assault, I imagine I wouldn't want to read about them and would appreciate someone making it easy for me to spot a story that contained that kind of content.
That only works if rape is in the top tags. And in this case it's not.
That's a fair request, i've seen a lot of them that DO have that warning in yellow writing too, does this one not? Weird...
I don't get why you brought this point up. You're arguing here that people are using the word "triggered" in reference to anger, right? But the post you're responding to in this message is using the word in it's original context. They said "a rape victim might see this and be triggered", in other words the rape victim might be caused psychological discomfort by the stimulus inherent in reading about a traumatic situation that they themselves have been through. They weren't saying "triggered" in place of angered, so it really seems like you just went on a tangent about the misuse of the word when they weren't misusing it.
One of the most common causes of PTSD among Americans is sexual assault.
Another common one is car accidents and obviously combat is an issue among those who have served in the military.
The sad reality is that sexual assault is far too common, which is why stories such as this could trigger someone.
Moreover, some people simply do not want to read stories that depict sexual violence.
It seems to me that adding very clear and consistent warnings about content such as: sexual violence, child molestation, necrophilia, bestiality, scatology, etc... would be a very small thing the site administrators could do to protect readers from content they either find objectionable and/or personally upsetting.
Rathen than complaining about that in here, it would be better if you go and contact the administrator of lezhin. -_- but if you don't buy any chapters from lezhin, then you don't have the rights to submit complains because duhhh not only we read this manhwa for free, you even demand this and that. What a bitch
You really are a nasty piece of work.
Exactly what is so bad in your life that you feel the need to lash out at others who, absent of your vitriol, were having a civil exchange?
Also, if you had been paying attention, my recommendation was for the site administrators to label the various mangas they post.
So if you have a problem with them posting Lezhin's work, perhaps you should take your own advice and complain to them about it.
It seems like that would be something you'd enjoy, since venting your anger at others is obviously something you enjoy.
While you're at it, maybe take a look in the mirror and ask yourself why you are so hellbent on inflicting you misery on others.
Hey. Hey. Stop it... Stop it.
it's in the tags and the description has a warning and you can also check the comments beforehand?? like christ there are really no surprises here. it's yaoi, you should know to check any of those 3 things beforehand if it bothers you
It's not in the top tags nor is there a warning of rape in the description. People generally do not read the comments until after reading a manga if they don't want the manga to be spoiled
What about this warning then:
"The following content is intended for mature audiences and may contain sexual themes, gore, violence and/or strong language. Discretion is advised."
Literally on every summary. People should be able to be accountable for themselves. The world owes us nothing.
Oh thank you. I didn't realize the general warning for porn was the same as what OP was asking for here.
OP's post:
"Stories like this should have some sort of warning up near the title so that readers who are upset by (((((((sexual violence))))) have some advanced warning. "
Your general warning:
"The following content is intended for mature audiences and may contain ((((((sexual themes, gore, violence))))) and/or strong language. Discretion is advised."
What more do you want. If that's your "general warning for porn" I don't know what you're into kid.
And that's the general warning given to all yaoi on mangago.
Thanks for the reiteration. The thesis was that OP want some kind of warning if a story has the possibility of sexual violence, and yet there already is one. If any more specificity was needed then look at the tags, those are "warning" themselves.
The antithesis is in concern of someone who might be "upset" by such genres to which others have replied that it's not the job of others to prevent someone from being upset under their own circumstances.
I don't believe they were reiterating? The anon's point in saying "And that's the general warning given to all yaoi on mangago." wasn't to confirm that the warning is put on all yaoi, it was to point out that since that warning is on all yaoi it lacks impact. They're trying to say that the OP's idea is still not being met with just that. You've pointed out the tags again, but they have already replied to that point of yours saying that the rape tag isn't in the top tags. Personally, i agree with you in that the yellow text warning is enough, i just want to make sure both parties are understanding each other.
Stories like this should have some sort of warning up near the title so that readers who are upset by sexual violence have some advanced warning.
