I hate this fucking author.

POP OFF

your comment just gave me faith in humanity back

Finally a human with sense!!! So refreshing to see someone who isn't blind

THIS.

Brother this is mangago. Idk why people love to come here and talk about how revolted they are after 18 chapters offended about the free media they just read and with a massive intellectual boner about how everyone else is a rape loving drone who would condone this in real life. I wish they'd send 19 year olds to college instead of giving them a kindle and sending them on their way to become yaoi missionaries.

Oh wow, you're really proud of yourself, huh? Acting like you're the voice of reason on a pirate site full of trauma porn and horny comments. You're sitting here mocking people who speak out about rape being glorified in a manhwa—because it's "free media"? That's your moral compass?... "It's free, so shut up?" Fucking dumbass.

You're not clever. You're over here just doing mental gymnastics to defend a story that literally uses rape, blackmail, and humiliation as sexual tension, and the only thing you have to offer is insults toward a 19-year-old for not going along with it. You sound more mad that someone's thinking critically instead of gooning out like the rest of the comment section.

I'll tell you what's actually embarrassing: proudly defending a story where a victim gets assaulted, drugged, and degraded, then treating anyone who calls that out as some kind of "missionary." You really think you're edgy for being numb to sexual violence? That doesn't make you deep, it makes you complicit.

You're not as smart or rebellious as you think. You're just another person so far gone in the fetish haze that you forgot basic empathy. Keep bootlicking a fictional abuser if that gives you personality, but don't get pressed when people with a functioning conscience speak up.

I ain't reading all that. Go back to twitter or keehl yoself.

You said "I ain't reading all that" but had no problem writing essays defending rape fantasies and agreeing with a comment that compares queer men being abused to "getting what women go through." You're a hypocrite, a coward, and now you're telling people to kill themselves because you got called out for defending rape. Take your own advice bitch.

I could literally feel your hands trembling as you wrote that. I don't respect fictional men and think they should get abused more. Doesn't mean I want to see IRL queer men having to get triggered by the material. I miss when lesbians threw bricks at cops instead of complained about yaoi to make themselves feel better that all the other dykes at the club think they're weird.

Yikes... You really sat there, typed that out, reread it, and hit send like you did something.......

You're reading a yaoi story and still managed to out yourself as a raging homophobe who thinks bringing up someone's sexuality out of nowhere makes you sound edgy. All it does is prove how insecure you are. You think yelling "lesbians threw bricks" makes you some kind of badass, but really you're just a try-hard hiding behind queer history to justify drooling over cartoon rape and harassing actual queer people for a hobby.

You talk about fictional men like they're your enemies, but you're the one foaming at the mouth when someone critiques your gooner torture porn. Dragging real queer people into your weird power trip to justify your fetish says everything. I just know you're a bitter loser hiding behind shock value.

Keep showing your true colors. It's wild how pressed you are over a lesbian having standards. I hope the self-hatred you expressed behind that screen is worth the attention you clearly aren't getting anywhere else.

My fellow lesbian lovers love me for my edgy cartoon porn. Please bathe. Your detachable shower head misses you.

Glad your cartoon porn keeps you warm at night. Anyway, touching grass might help more than touching yourself. I'm not gonna respond to you anymore, wasting my time in the real world.

LMAO I just clocked the Kakegurui pfp. Guess sexualized violence is only okay when it's teen girls doing it to each other, huh!?!?!?

ooof dude news flash- people are allowed to have opinions. and as someone who watched kakegurui, i don't believe any sexual violence took place? definitely suggestive content and "fanservice" as they say, but i think we can all agree that in literally almost every anime created, teen girls and even boys have been sexualized at some point or another, and it's fuckin weird.

now with the comic above, i don't think it's gonna sit right with a lotta people that someone made a whole comic about a guy being psychologically tortured and broken down, abused and used. the social level of telling someone to off themselves when you're the one who commented under their post to blatantly start something, i think shows you have at least some common sense to learn, along with a bit of logical social cues. with that said, think before you speak, and even if it's anon behind a screen, why not have normal, intelligent, human conversation about a comic someone else dislikes, but you seem to like? then again, i don't think anyone will want to have a convo or debate about straight up rape and the fetish of it, even personally i don't find it all appealing, but ya coulda gone about it differently instead of getting heated? just my two-cents.

therapy is also a great way to learn how to grow and treat others kindly, and how you treat others reflects back to you, so kill em with kindness! even if some opinions are strange or uncomfortable or unconventional to you (❁´︶`❁)

and another thing, (and on the note above, here's an example of a normal, human, unprofessional critique) when i realized it was a pyschological thriller rape story, i wasn't too here for it. but i read killing stalking (tbh never finished it, but ik the spoilers) so i wanted to see where it went. i want to know if the mc makes it out alive, if at all. and the parts where the mc would actively be terrified of going against what the antag wanted, despite mc's background of also being a shitty person, generally unafraid of anything, genuinely had my heart racing. mind you not even killing stalking had me that anxious. i think it has the potential of being well written as a fucked up psychological thriller, but it's kinda losing me, probably similar to why killing stalking lost me (i'm not huge on rape and torture in general, but i like psychological horrors and thrillers) i also don't think anyone should go into reading this thinking it's a gay smutty romance.

i'll stop rambling here lol, but rereading the top comment, yeah it lost me with just how much rape there was, and how it didn't go much deeper than the mc freaking out a couple times. yes that did have my heart racing in anxiety, and sure maybe it's just a slow burn in the sense of exploring more on how fucked his situation is? but soo much rape in the first like- the first 15 chapters. plus right after the fucked scenes the art style would turn bright and goofy and eh- when writing dark stories, i'd imagine have a darker atmosphere, coloring, and writing would make the story at least as appealing it can be when it's a story like this. but it's really not. benefit of the doubt it's slow burn, but i'm not seeing that 8/

Alright well, disregarding the laughably patronizing comment about social cues and whatnot, I really enjoy having stimulating conversations about comics with people and all, but that requires some modicum of good faith on the other person’s end. This dude just regurgitated some shit you could find on twitter if you searched up “yaoi” “gay” “fetishization” and “problematic”. It’s not a unique stance nor is it a particularly “woke” one. It’s just being incendiary because you don’t give a fuck about the environment the story was written in or the people who might find it cathartic for personal reasons. I was literally #baiting them and it worked. Simple as can be.

honestly bro i have trouble with social sues myself, so i genuinely thought that was a fine thing to bring up, i apologize for that coming off as offensive. also was just basically saying to not tell others to off themselves, whether joking or not, not great energy to put out in the world, yknow? and ig you could say that, im not on twitter, but it was a strong opinion on a heavy topic in a comic that wasnt really portrayed or written the best, i don't see the point in baiting them into a whole arguement that wastes both yalls time. i'm a hypocrite though, but just cause i've had a moment here and there cause reading through the comments- felt like butting in lol
no but yeah it's one thing for dark things to be cathartic for people, personally i think it's another when the topic isn't portrayed seriously, when it's joked about by the characters and seemingly by the author. maybe thats just me, but when things like this arent taken seriously, and there's an unfathomable amount of people on the planet, there'll be at least that one person who will genuinely take this as a joking matter, and that can cause real life harm. i could be overthinking it, but i cant help but care about another human's well being. there's a lot of other media that can be cathartic for people with trauma, it just doesnt *have* to be this, but if it is to each their own ig, just not some people's cup of tea

I appreciate the honesty. You didn't need to apologize but I appreciate that you did. I'm going to be sincere because you're earnestly seeking a real discussion. To be totally real with you, I don't really disagree with any of Your points. I think these are completely reasonable beliefs. You laid out your personal criticisms, acknowledge the other side of the argument, and conclude that this sexualized yaoi psychological horror is not for you. That's a completely valid take that I have nothing but respect for. But I don't reserve the same respect for people who want to use the comments section as a moral pissing ground. I could tell that the person who wrote the original comment was pissed off that some other person made a long comment saying they believe the story is profound. And that they would be inflexible to hearing other opinions. So I just said something incendiary right back. Lastly, while this might sound like I'm pulling a 'Schrödinger's douchebag', telling people to end their shit online is literally a meme. I'm going to assume you've seen the picture of the streamer with lightning overhead that says "YOU SHOULD KILL YOURSELF N O W". It's the same thing as teabagging in a video game or telling someone you have their address online. It's just extremely low effort bait. And people love to fall for it. I agree it's definitely not great energy to put into the world, but at the time of my initial reply it was clear to me that there would be no good faith discussions or positive vibes here. I just wanted to shake them up in front of the people who were blindly saying "yass queen" to their take.

Yeah, I already figured it was bait. The second you started throwing around edgy, unrelated insults and slurs and and trying to mock mental health and suicide like you were actually doing something, it was obvious you weren't here to talk. You were just bored, looking for attention, and thought you'd get off on trying to poke someone until they snapped. It's not clever, it's not "meta," it's just childish... and I want to assume you're an adult just like me judging by the way you kept on responding to me and being mad weird when I ended the argument and you're still going with somebody else that agrees with me.

Now you're doing this whole "I agree with the actual points, I just didn't like the tone" thing. Please stfu. That's the weakest excuse you could've pulled. You don't agree, you just realized the only leg you had to stand on was being obnoxious for fun, and now you're trying to clean it up and act like you're on some neutral middle ground. You're not. You threw bait, someone called it for what it was, and now you're scrambling to save face by pretending you actually care about the topic when it's clear you don't.

You say my comment sounded like a Twitter thread, okay??? So what? Because I was direct? Because I didn't soften the message for people who like their "psychological horror" wrapped around fetishized abuse? That's not a real critique. That's just your way of saying you didn't like someone being louder and clearer than you were. You couldn't touch the actual point, so you judged the tone. That's just embarrassing.

And this act you've got going, trying to make yourself look like some calm, reasonable "debater" while also admitting you were trolling from the start is laughable but in a way sad way. You can't ask for good faith when you never brought any. You're the one who turned a conversation about real issues in media into some edgy little game to impress yourself. You're writing paragraphs about how you "don't respect people who use the comments as a moral pissing ground," but that's exactly what you did. You came in swinging, made it personal, and now you're pretending to be above it all because someone pushed back harder than you expected.

Also, trying to explain away your suicide bait like it was just some meme is disgusting. I don't care how many times it's been used online or where you saw it. It's still something you said to someone in response to a serious discussion. You don't get to backpedal and act like it's no big deal just because you wrapped it in internet lingo. You said it because you were pissed you didn't get the last word and thought you could shock someone into silence. That's not bait. That's just being a shitty person and chronically online as hell.

I'mma say this again... you're not deep. You're not shaking things up. You're just some dude with main character syndrome trying to make people feel small so you can feel smart. You talk like everyone else is just reacting emotionally, but everything you've written screams ego. You want the last word, you want to control the tone, you want people to play by your rules. And when they don't, you cry "bad faith" and pretend it's all performance.

You exposed yourself the moment you said you were baiting. You proved you had nothing worth saying when you admitted the entire point was to get a rise. Everything after that is just noise.

So simply put, you have no life and are a degenerate. I've ended the argument... and you're still going. You got nothing going for yourself clearly. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
