"Rape is rape" . Yes, obviously. And fictional rape doesn't affect anything in real life, except the idea/mention of it potentially triggering some of the readers who are responsible for managing themselves and what they consume.
It can still garner an audience and the story can still be enjoyed. If it triggers you, you can ignore the piece of media, you can dislike it, discuss your perspective even from a very realistic pov if you're inclined to.
What you DON'T have the right to do is police/censor the topics that an author can write, confuse exploring/depicting a dark theme with an author or the readers condoning/encouraging it irl and assume anything about their moral values in general, let alone attack them for it.
Anyway, I'm so happy the spin off is here and I'm wondering how the heck can that little twerp Yuta ever come back after pulling this crap on Seunghyun..
