I think Asia in general is really weird on consent. Like laws in Japan for example, it’s not considered r*pe if one is intoxicated and the other is sober, or you need a lot of proof of r*pe (injuring the r*pist by scratching or hitting).
That’s one thing, another is simply being a fetish for a lot more people than you’d expect. There’s a reason why you c it a lot, it’s because there’s an audience for it.
One more thing I can think of is authors being shit at writing. They can’t make up something interesting and fluffy, so they add toxicity in it and the only thing they can come up with is make the guy a r*pist, make him fall in love with the victim, have a redemption arc, then boom, all of a sudden he’s the sweetest guy in the world :/
why is rape and noncon normalised in so many manhwas nowadays i cant stand it
