People are getting upset that others don't like this manga but I'm confused.
Yeah, it's fake, but it's still not correct?
It can make people uncomfortable if they read something that they know is inherently wrong and the author seems to be doing nothing to actually imply anything else. The dom/sub relationship is based on trust and mutual respect, yes. And this manga concentrates on the sexual aspect of it. For people just looking for something arousing, this manga can be fine. But for others, not so much.
If you read paedophilia, you don't have grounds to say "oh, but it's fake, so it's okay to promote this kind of content." Which isn't true?? This is a misrepresentation and it's perfectly okay to dislike it because the content might be related to something you connect with or something you care about.
This seems to be a problem.
I think, that if it's fictional, it's generally okay to read, as long as we are all clear that it is fictional. Not real. Shouldn't ever, probably, be real.
But if someone is uncomfortable with it, no matter the reason, I don't think you should be allowed to complain to them that it's fake.
Additionally, to me it just seems like you're getting defensive. You know subconsciously that the content is wrong but you don't want to admit that. So anyone who dislikes or is uncomfortable with it gets attacked or shamed for "being sensitive" or whatever.
Sorry, I was kinda pissed by people attacking others for dropping the manga when I wrote this, I meant: "It's fictional so it's okay to promote this kind of content" And by 'it', I meant the type of manga that puts paedophilia or rape in a romantic light.
