I don't like rape or anything in real life but in a story i'm fine with it because these characters are just fictional beings made up by the author for us to enjoy. We understand you don't like rape but it is just a part of a story. If you don't like it so much then you can stop reading. No one is forcing you to read this. I can recommend some yaoi's that are fluff or have consensual sex if you would like ?
I just wanna make it clear that I have no problem with a story just being a story, and that it’s more the people who kind of romanticize the relationship? I don’t think that there’s really a clear cut difference between how people act in a fantasy world and how people act in real life. Obviously everyone has their own secrets and their own lives, but it’s still all a part of each and every person. I guess I can’t disagree without seeming sensitive or whatever, but I wanted to point out how different people can be even if it’s still just the same situation. I, of course, can’t expect people to analyze a story and be all critical about what it says about mankind and society’s values because that’s just ridiculous, but maybe it does say something about our infatuation with people’s looks. Sorry if I came across all triggered, but I was just really annoyed at all the people talking about how hot Seungho was despite him literally forcing the dude to suck his dick.
Quit reading it if you feel that conflicted lol
Amen to that
You do know that rape play is one of the most common kink acts out there... We can all acknowledge that rape is terrible and evil, but rape play and fictional rape depictions aren’t the same. Consenting adults act out kinks like this every day. It’s not a big deal.
Totally agree that no one should kink shame. However, in this manhwa the mc didn’t really consent.
But nonetheless, the author handles the heavy topic very well and I love the story. It’s more that there are pretty bad comments that normalize rape. Not in a kinky way(which is alright), but saying it’s romantic which is kinda fucked imo
It’s also one of the most common tropes in erotic fiction though. For some, their kink is reading rape fiction. It’s not even my thing really. I just think talking about this in the comments is kind of dull. I guess sometimes people can become desensitized through fictional depictions of rape, murder, etc., but I sincerely doubt that anyone here would advocate in real life for someone to end up with their rapist.
the comments contrast so much between each chapter it’s actually disgusting. everyone’s fine if the rape scene is “hot” or the seme is looking particularly handsome, but when it starts getting real intense people start denouncing the seme.
EDIT: I ended my original post saying “Rape and forced sex is NOT hot”. In hindsight, I probably should have guessed a lot of people were going to interpret that as me being mad at the story (which I am not). I’m just deleting that part because I don’t want it to take away from my comments on the readers themselves. The ending statement was supposed to be towards the people who found it hot, not the story itself.
