For the Korean women comment, reality is that many of these stories are possibly reflections of patriarchal trauma.
I think people are free to be surprised even if they knew it was coming. It’s a normal human reaction to something people see over and over again. I have read BL for a while now, I still get grossed out by the amount of rape. It’s not up to them to control their emotions, however they can choose not to read it.
It’s not about surprise — it’s about how the story handles those ‘dark’ themes. Just because something’s ‘expected’ doesn’t make it harmless or well-executed trope. If readers are hurt or disturbed, their reaction is valid — whether or not the story ‘warned’ them.
But yes, you can scroll through those panels or stop reading to give yourself break.
Yeah, okay, I got your point. I don't completely agree with that, but I understand and it makes sense. Plus idk, maybe the word "whore" in english automatically has a negative connotation, in my language it's completely common, so maybe that's a thing
No youre mad because I didnt want to see glorified rape
"It's a story about a mobster and a former whore, what did you expect?" Its literally the fact that you think someone should expect glorified rape in every thing thats about crime and prostitution like is it so bad I dont wanna see GLORIFIED rape as in I dont want it to be so goddamn detailed, and it being a constant thing with the main couple? Thats the problem I have, I have a problem when its glorified or romanticized when its just awareness or something thats not the problem I have but you thinking we should all expect rape in crime stories is so fucking weird.
Killer Crush, Monochrome Rumor, Wetsand, Walk on Water, Over The Moon, A Painter Behind the Curtain, Pink Heart Jam, The Stranger in the Mirror, Shutline, Plum Blossom Shade, Unblossomed, Solo For Two, Black Mirror, Wolf In The House, and Murderer Llewellyn's enchanting dinner invitation all either have crime or prostitution or both, some may have rape scenes but theyre not glorified unlike pearl boy and this dogshit spin off so yeah we normal people dont expect glorified rape in crime and shit and people who enjoy rape scenes are fetishizers and also you saying all korean women enjoy it is racist and weird too this isnt just an issue in bl manhwas this is an issue everywhere stop acting like we should normalize it or expect it.
Yeah, okay, I got your point. I don't completely agree with that, but I understand and it makes sense. Plus, idk maybe the word "whore" in english automatically has a negative connotation, in my language it's completely normal, so yeah, maybe that's thing
wait i stopped reading pearl boy years ago he did what??? raped him?? huh why
Yes in the 2nd side stories
But I dont remember why I think it was because he was jealous or too horny or something and then Jooha was hella mad for what he did and Dooshik apologized then Jooha forgave Dooshik in a second like nothing happened it was so weird and disgusting like why even add that when their relationship was going well
What the actual fuck its exactly like jinx and codename anastasia this is just gross outside too like what the fuck
