I put 5 stars just for the fact that the uke didn't go all the way with other guys when he...

I agree. Social morals are evolving and not always in the best way...
Most people would just use sympathy and discard all reason and existing proofs just because they can't accept it... :'))
Like they think they can control everything around them, including themselves, but are oblivious to a lot. Their thinking is a bit too shallow, and just too idealistic for me...
And of course they look down on those "pointless societal norms" thinking they achieved a higher understanding, epiphany... or I don't know what else... x))
Societal norms and values are essentials on which was born our current society. If we look down on them and choose to destroy them, we will lose the foundation of what we've built... the future doesn't seem so promising.
That's why I think it's wiser to understand them first and then adapt them slowly to our current reality, with the recent technological, medical and all the other progress we've achieved until now.

I agree with this fully. Societal norms can be great foundations to a way of life. That is where you learn your morals, learning how to grasp the reality of things, etc... A lot of societal norms can be harmful though.

Some are homophobic, misogynistic, etc. Which I do not support. The world is slowly healing, but also still suffering because of the past. Some parts of the world are much worse than others.

"Slut shaming" can be seen as misogynistic. When people refer to men as "ukes", I tend to get offended, because a lot of women force this heteronormativity on gay relationships. But that is why it can be seen as a misogynistic societal norm.

What societal norms do you support?

I'm also glad we can agree.
I'm a bit worried about people who use emotions and such instead of facts and real proofs to reach their conclusions and to argue...
We can only hope for the best for the future. ^^

Oh man Those kinds of Genre (shota, rape romanticization, paedophilia) exists because there are some people who enjoy those content just for the sake of entertainment not because they want to do something in real life.. Having fantasies and actually acting upon it is two different things ... its like you are saying that people who read dark psychological mystery mangas containing murders and all are basically suppressing their need to kill through indulging into fictional world... But because they read it they are predator... Then all those profiler who are interested in criminal must be considered as predators too...

We aren't saying that for sure.
But reading those and enjoying them aren't very good for a person's psychological health.
Whether it is the cause or the consequence...
There are studies demonstrating that, I'm not saying do not read them, idk because I look down on people. But I'd say don't read them, like I'd say, please stop smoking to any patients... not that I'm better.

Also, I have a friend who suffer from depression, who enjoys dark stories... sadly, I think it's only aggravating her condition...
It doesn't mean that her condition is caused by the manga, only that it can amplify it.
No kidding, just reading "good night punpun" can also lead me to depression...

So I believe it's about psychological health, and that everyone should be careful with that, depending on their own sensitivity.
