this manga is ridiculous so i told myself to close the tab but instead i bookmarked it??? guess I'll be back
Lol same
why yaoi always seems to assume the only way to get someone to listen to you is to rape them. Like even if they don't go through with it, it's super offputting how quickly it's used as a solution and how easily it's brushed off.
Taku was legit like, "well I was gonna ignore him telling me to stop but then I decided meh, not really the time or place"
and then that is literally all we hear about it, no further problems arise bc of that shit. In fact, some problems are solved like jfc what
I totally agree! Even when I love the rest of a story and the guy is lovely afterwards and so I choose to overlook/ignore that part, there's always a bit of me that remains disturbed that they're the kind of person with that thought process.
There's nothing to understand. It's just an easy, underhanded way to "rekindle" reader's interest by adding instant cheap drama... Like seeing a car crash as if in slow motion and being unable to look away...
Oh, you got it, thank goodness. It just sits in the back of your mind like, "yeah what a cute story....but...," and it feels gross if you think too hard about it :/ I can't wait until it falls out of use as a plot point
Or maybe the correct wording is "there is nothing to understand because there is nothing that is understand-able about it"...
I think that puts it a lot better. (－.－)
you're not wrong, haha, it just irks me a bit more every time I see something like that
They use the same formula since the beginning of the history of yaoi simply because it works. It adds drama, sex scene and dialogue all at once
Yep. And also, it works because of us reader's pathetic human nature... We don't just trip twice on the same stone, we even take the darn stone home with us and make an altar to it...
I feel liked I've been played for a fool.
^^that's a Tegan and Sara lyric right lol?
I don't listen to T&S so I have no idea (￣∇￣")
this story is perfect; it's been so long since I read something that wasn't ultra cliche
Naru: spit is good for u or whatever, i swear on my boner
Me: retches
Me: vomits
Me: rereads that bullshit line
Me: gags
Oto: yeah ok makes sense
Rape scenes like this don't bother me quite as much, which I say tentitavely because that could change depending on how they go forwards.
Sake is obviously not okay. That to me is the first sign that it's not just "who needs consent anyway, lets make characters fuck asap"
Don't get me wrong, I sped through the scene because I didn't really want to see it regardless, but it doesn't feel as gratuitously cliche as "rape-to-love" plots.
Did any of that make sense? I feel like I haven't quite explained it right, oh well
mom: do whatever you wanna do baby
matsumi: men
mom: excuse me
matsumi: i wanna do men
mom: what
Pfft that was actually funny lol
but I sure as hell am gonna remember it now. Can't wait for an update!
I am coughing up fluff, it's great
