1. I think people are criticising romanticising rape...not rape itself. Rape was looked down on but it doesn't change the feelings of victim?
2. Untill now rape is shown in realistic way. So I myself don't have problem with the story. But I guess we will se how it will turn.
I couldn't find where to like your comment so I'm leaving it here... LIKE ; )
Haha thanks!
And that's exactly what I mean - it's realistic. I don't feel romanticising the rape at this moment in the story. And it does appear a lot in those plots from our times, so what I mean is that this critical section here should be transfered to all those other stories (⌒▽⌒)
About your movie point... Can u imagine situation that people are sitting in cinema at talking about how the rape scene was hot? I think it was missed example.
The truth is at least for a week there weren't any comments, or like about 5 which didn't even criticise people. Just their view on the story. So I don't understand the drama at all. We are crying over 5 comments (during the whole week) among hundreds of positive ones?
Why are so many people saying 'Oh it's like all the yaoi with rape and forced sex, it's really not appropriate'? Don't you have the understanding that this one has at least a right to portray rape? It's placed a few hundred years ago and history didn't define something like forcing your subjects (especially men) to have sex as any type of crime then. They were kind of master's property and he could have done basically what he wanted, no one cared. Not even women had big protection in the field of rape, it was more common than you think. So the rest of the stories, placed in the modern world, definitely shouldn't have that approach but this one has a right to be historically correct. No one says it's good to rape and no one does it! It is a historical fiction, based on real social relations from the time.
PS when you go to the cinema and see like a little more ambitious film in which there is violence or rape or both, used as a plot device to explain certain actions and characters, do you go and criticize the story for it? I've seen a lot of rape portrayal in film but no one was ever as wrathed as people in yaoi section...
