Fucking Hypocrites everywhere

Um, you’re really out here claiming "one of my works is posted here" while still using this site like that somehow makes you morally licensed to pirate.

"somebody being pirated maybe hurts you a little" Please be for real. The authors from the Korean webtoon industry literally reiterate multiple times on social media to not read their works on illegal sites cause it harms their livelihood. If you actually knew what it felt like as a creator as you "claim" to be, you wouldn’t be here either.

And let’s not act like dark fiction "permanently traumatizes" a drawing. It’s literally pixels on a screen. You’re mad at fiction for existing but fine with hurting real creators wallets. That’s not morality, that’s hypocrisy with extra steps.

And that whole "if you read it often you must fetishize it" logic is soooo tiring. Frequency doesn’t equal advocacy. Just like watching horror movies every weekend doesn’t mean you fantasize about dismembering people. Not everyone consumes fiction through your weird, insecure lens. Projecting your personal discomfort onto others isn’t a flex either.

you'd be extremely surprised at how many authors pirate other works i know SEVERAL im not saying that a decent amount of them suffer from it because they do i won't deny that, but it doesn't traumatize them, if anything the publishing companies are the biggest issue considering they take most of the profit from authors and overwork them which ive seen time and time again, this kind of content has been PROVEN to harm people which is why sexualizing rape and other things is not okay?? i have zero idea why thats so hard for you to understand

not to mention a lot of people who read these DO fetishize it and dont see it as actual rape, which is a problem

You completely missed the point. It’s fiction. Reading it doesn’t "support" anything except the idea that people can engage with dark, uncomfortable stories without it reflecting on their real-life morals. By your logic, people who play FPS games are shooters, horror fans are murderers, and anyone who watches a show with a bad ending is a sociopath. The fact that you can’t separate fiction from reality just makes you sound unfit to engage with media like an adult.

And for someone so concerned about "real harm," you're still pirating and hurting actual creators livelihoods while pretending it’s a lesser evil. Spoiler: it’s not. You’re not better because you slapped a moral excuse on your theft. Either stop moralizing or get off the site you claim to hate so much. Nobody forced you to be here.

Yes, the industry has problems. Yes, companies exploit artists. None of that magically makes piracy righteous or gives you a moral hall pass for being here? "Other authors do it too" is the weakest deflection imaginable, my god.

And as for "this kind of content has been PROVEN to harm people" uhhh, no, what’s been shown is that people with poor media literacy and pre-existing biases misuse fiction. The issue isn’t the story existing, it’s how insecure people project their own hangups onto it. The content isn’t advocating for anything, it’s literally a fictional narrative. Just like the other people mentioned in this thread, horror, crime dramas, war films, or violent video games, it’s not meant to be a guidebook for life. This is why we have fiction and non-fiction genre.

Also, your logic that "some people fetishize it" so it’s inherently bad is nonsense. The problem lies with the person, not the pixels, not the creator.

You’re trying so hard to justify a double standard and it’s transparent.

I never thought about it until now but you're right. A lot of purists think the exact same and always tries to justify their actions loool

Can't you understand that the only ones "normalizing" rape here is you and your delusional friends? It's fantasy for God's sake. Just like enjoying a horror movie where a bunch of people get killed and tortured. No one is called a serial killer for enjoying horror movies grow up.

Lowkey curious about what work it is that someone deigned to upload on a mostly porn site

And here we are, all collectively reading and supporting that same rape manhwa on the piracy website. Now let’s all join hands and sing Kumbayah.

COOOOOKKKKKKKKK

What moral compass? Obviously you don’t have one when you are also participating in stealing from the authors. Fictional rape hurts no one except your fragile little mind that can’t separate it from reality. What actually hurts real life authors is their pockets you are actively stealing from. So don’t act like you have morals when you are here.
