Omg this is SO real and it’s not just here, it happens everywhere You’ll see someone call out an obvious problematic part, and instantly there are replies like “if you don’t like it just drop it” or “you need to differentiate fiction from reality.” Like… istg it’s not even about fiction anymore ,it’s about avoiding a REAL ISSUE by using fiction as an excuse.

Why read rape yaoi if you hate rape. Pearl boy was rape yaoi and this is rape yaoi. This is a convention of the story and something the creator likes and always includes. This is an obvious fetish…why are you all so shocked? It’s a little weird tbh. Why read a story about this if you hate it? I’m not trying to be rude either, just confused how you can work it out in your head. That you can read a story that heavily focuses on rape and has the two leads later fall in love, and still be upset but the same conventions that make the story what it is, and make it very popular?

Well I’ve been assaulted so I know rape in real life is bad, and you know I know that so maybe stop being obtuse. Secondly, this is a story, rape is used in erotica and always has been. This story and pearl boy and inkling have always been very upfront about what they are. So why read something that you hate that’s not made for you.

hey, I'm a survivor too. I'm sorry u went through that. I wasn't being obtuse or anything, u said it urself: "why read rape yaoi if u hate rape". you're implying everybody who reads this doesn't hate rape, or likes it (in fiction). I mean, that's obviously not true. I personally dropped this after the rape scene, but some people are still reading it cuz they like the characters. and yet they feel like the rape is unnecessary. they're allowed to have their opinions. again, you're literally indirectly saying you don't dislike rape being shown like this, and I find that incredibly disheartening seeing as you're a survivor too. I think at least we all should stick together through this together, when it's clear that the author is fetishising OUR trauma for their own financial gains.

This is so stupid, I don’t even have the energy to argue with you because I know that no matter what I say, your reply will continue to be as braindead as you are. But since you asked, let me tell you, I AM READING THIS STORY BECAUSE I WANT TO AND FOR THE PLOT. If THE PLOT WAS ONLY RAPE, like those pornhwas, I wouldn’t even bother But this obviously has a PLOT. And guess what , you can still read fictional stuff with dark genres and condemn the RAPE and RAPISTS.
I can consume dark fiction without endorsing the immoral acts depicted in it
Criticizing fictional content ≠ condoning it.
Just because I’m reading something dark doesn’t mean I love RAPE and RAPISTS. This is such simple logic,what are you, 8? And girl, if my comment is bothering you so much, then you should honestly get the fuck outta here.

As someone who was assaulted as a child, I feel absolutely disgusted that you feel this way.you're not the only victim here grow a brain and think about other victims that might be reading what you wrote and might not feel the same way you do and Enjoying rape in fiction is one thing ,which I would still say is disgusting ,but the way you’re trying to defend it just because it’s "fiction" is absurd. You seriously need therapy. Bless your heart

ik this comment wasnt meant for me, but thank you for saying this. like I've dealt with a lot A LOT of shitty people on this site but this is the first time I spiralled a little... i actually did start thinking I was the crazy one for believing these authors are weird as fuck for profiting over smth people go through everyday. anyway, I hope they find help too, and I hope you keep doing well !! <3
Some of y’all are so immature istg. When will y’all grasp the fact that people are allowed to criticize something they don’t like about the story without dropping it?? And you do know that you can also skip the comments if you don’t like them, right? Grow a brain pls it’s not that hard to understand. different opinions exist
