exactly, i really feel like recently authors have lost the ability to make stories without constantly adding rape and non consented scenes?? like i always see stories full of drunk unconsented sex/kiss or just straight up rape like here :/ i hate it
It's ridiculous. If they want 'rough' smut scenes they could still add CONSENT. At this point it's almost as if they're allergic to it.
Boohoo
Boohoo indeed.
Oh its not a "recent" thing lol
like how ever looked at what "classic" yaoi is like.
Oh when i said recently, i meant that they have completely lost their ability to create anything that doesn't contain rape now, not that they haven't been doing it in plenty of manga/manhwa in the past. I just think they've gotten worse, at least when it comes to Korean webtoons.
to say the ability to create anything that doesn't contain rape is completely lost is a pretty big exaggeration.
maybe if you looked beyond the most popular stories, you would see that not all current day manga AND manhwa are like that lol
i dont even think its gotten worse, its just that rapey ones have gotter super popular so they overshadow
It was meant as a hyperbole, I wasn't being literal.
Also, for the exact reason that they've gotten more popular, they've been also created a lot more. It's this popularity which makes it first choice for the Korean authors to chose to create a toxic story in order for it to sell. It wasn't as bad in the past and I'd know, for I've been an avid yaoi reader from a fairly young age. Yes, plenty of toxic manhwa existed in the past but the current raise in their popularity has certainly made rise on the market which has led to the creation of even more in the genre, to the point they completely overshadow those that are not toxic at all.
I just realized that i responded over the response of someone else and i genuinely thought i was the one who wrote it . Jesus, that's what making so many comments in this site does to you
fr!!
yeah ur right but i just noticed that recently its just.. EVERYWHERE
it was not clear at all that it was mean to be hyperbole statement
it genuinely seemed like you were serious lol
also im going to have to somewhat disagree.
yaoi in general has gotten more popular so there are more stories being made- therefore more toxic shit as well.
the rapey shit has always been in the forefront of yaoi, like i dont think anything really changed apart from the rise of yaoi itself.
and im someone who has observed the yaoi scene for a quite some time.
It would be illogical for it to not be a hyperbole so i assumed it was obvious.
Let's agree to disagree.
i mean, its really not usual to see people make illogical statements on the internet.
Fair enough
This literally ruined the story. It was unnecessary. It could be a delicious slowburn in which they do it after they both get to feel an attraction towards each other but no, the author had to go for the realistic psychopath route
