Preach(๑•ㅂ•)و✧.. I was trying to target some of the things fluffy duck said, so sorry if i came off as offensive in any way bc it might sound like i was dragging out random points.
I just mainly wanted to tell people off about attacking fans and the author and to stay away, because its toxic behaviour. I’m glad to see someone stand up against it bc not many people do so in the comments. There are so many people that just add on to the attacks.
Yeah its okay. Im not good with words and there are many things I want to express but its hard to explain. I feel like my statement is too long to read but I hope if people want to read it they can understand what I meant.
I forgot to address this as well. Although it may be problematic, the romanticization of rape in fictional story is a way to satisfy a certain community that enjoy this kind of story, or to some, it serves as a "guilty pleasure". The same as bdsm, it is not something normal. But some people enjoy it as a way to satisfy their fantasy alone.
Like I said before, the idea of this (referring to romanticization of rape in fiction) changing, turning or educating people that this kind of act in Real Life is okay is farfetched. Because again, this act is in anyway did not portray real life action or is unrealistic.
This kind of act in mangas is not meant to be realistic therefore this kind of plotline can be seen as something absurd and ridiculious to its readers. To call it as "glorifying rape" is a bit too much sometimes.
Real people are portrayed in the work. Like what? If you're gonna portray rape at least portray it negatively and don't continue to force a relationship between rapist and victim.
THIS. THIS. THIS. THIS. LITERALLY THIS. Like that's all I'm fucking asking for, don't make it a pleasant thing.
The only problem I have with rape in a fiction is if its a rape then show it as something bad, cruel, negative. I hate it when they dont discuss about rape as "rape". A lot of scenes will go like "I'm sorry i hurt you" "No baby, its my fault, pls forgive me" and boom they get back together. Hello??? Huh? Why show rape then??
Including rape for shock value is poor execution. Thats it. Everything should have a meaning.
I frankly dont understand how rape kink works. And I'm not sure if the author actually wanted to cater to that audience tbh. The disclaimer FOR SURE did not mention that its made for that specific community :)
I dont understand what you are trying to say here. BDSM has consent. Rape doesnt.
Going by your logic we shouldnt bash pedophiles for liking shotacon no? :)
WEIRD
I've explain over and over again that rape in fictions especially in mangas are very ridiculious because fictional work has its own universe where the criminals and crimes has little to no consequences. It does not represent actual crimes in real life which is why mangas mostly portrays ridiculious scenarios. This is also the reason why it should never be taken seriously and should stay in the fictional world. In real life is completely different scenario. There is real consequences, criminals are punished and jailed for what they do and they deserve it. There is a real - breathing - beings, a real persons life and futures ruined by that crime.
BDSM does involve consent, and so is feederism and other fetishes. But my point is, those fetishes is considered as taboo. It is not something normal but people involved in it does not deserve to be bashed for it. As much as I respect people's preferences, i didnot condone extreme fetishes irl. There is some instances where in extreme BDSM (in real life), the person involved bleed and slapped until they are bruised. Even if consent is involved that is still sychotic behavior. I feel extreme concern and those people actually need help. In fictional work however, as much as it is concerning, I pay no mind to it. When I cannot take it, I leave it.
And by my logic, not all people who are into shotas are an actual pedophiles. Some enjoy the visuals of petite and cute characters. I do not bash people who read the shota mangas, I bash the people and geezers who touch actual children. Disgisting geezers on the news, geezers who are currently jailed deserve to die for touching children who cannot give consent and scarring them for life. All of them.
And funny how your setting make me unable to reply to your comment @Datenshi
I understand rape is disgusting but this is the work of fiction. Let the author be free and draw what they like. So many authors gave the disclaimer "THIS IS THE WORK OF FICTION, ANY RESEMBLECE bla bla bla" and yet people cant take it. "IT REFLECS REAL LIFE" or "THIS IS LIKE REAL LIFE".
BITCH THERES A DISCLAIMER??????? LIKE ITS NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU???
Ill say it again and again, FICTION IS FICTION even if you think that its relatable or very real life like for you. dont be an immature little shit by taking it personally. If you dont like rape dont read it, if you dont like gore dont read it, if you dont like shotacon dont read it. Etc.
I personally dont like yuri so I dont read it, but do i think that it is a sick preference? No. Do I think its disgusting for people to read it? No. Do I bash those who read it or do I bash the author for it? No. Because Im not a sensitive little bitch.
I agree that people who are underage should not read it but they are not supposed to be on adult platform either. We should not ban the site because it is meant for public. Do you ban youtube because you think youtube may teach children violence? No, you create youtube for kids. Adults should watch over them to not open adult sites and Developer should make a platform for underage readers. (Webtoon for teenagers for example)
