i wholeheartedly agree with youuuu!!! sometimes reading too much abuse,violence r*pe etc can make us blur the lines between reality and fiction and people stop empathising at some point. i really don't get why people even enjoy reading misery and abuse ,sure realism is imp but to what extent? but each to their own ig
Damn! You fucking ate that. At this point I don’t even care if JK fucking ends world hunger. He can’t repent for what he’s done to Dan and he needs to let him go. The emotional and mental strain he’s put on Kim Dan should have him buried under the jail alone!! No is a full sentence Jaekyung!
"Hiding behind the holy "it's fiction""
It IS fiction. All kinds of people, /including/ people who have experienced similar kinds of abuse, are able to separate what they read/experience in video games from reality. You are on another level of smug that the ozone is struggling to contain you. You are not enlightened, or better than other people, just because you decided to drop a manhwa. If you are so inclined, how about you drop these "links" between what people read, and how it affects their perception of reality, so that we can all be holier-than-thou like you?
fiction or not, why would people read/enjoy rape? people can read whatever they want to read in their fucked up heads as long it’s not hurting anyone, but it’s still concerning that people like reading this shit(rape). the only reason im personally here for is because i need to see if poor baby dan gets a happy ending
I don’t get why you took it so personally. And honestly, why should I take the time to debate with you when what you wrote is so disrespectful ?
We don’t know each other and be polite and constructive is the bare minimum.
However here some hints. The dynamics between art and reality are complexes. Art can be a glimps of the state of mind, beliefs, culture of a society. It can also perpetuate culturals practices.
We can more or less distance ourself from fiction yes. It doesn’t mean that fiction isn’t providing a sort of moral compass. We can endure or inflict abuses based on what we grew up watching, listening or earing.
Here some subjects you can start exploring :
R*pe culture
Patriarchy
Consent
Gender dynamic in culture
Gender dynamic in BL/Yaoi/MxM (targeting women audiences)
Hegemonic masculinity
Role of art in culture
Internalized mysogyny
DARVO methode
The list is long.
Thank you for saying this. I have been saying this for ever but all i hear is dark romance and shit. Since when rape dark romance?
preach!!!
I was just passing by after a video essay about it to check if it got « better »… well, what did I expected ?
For a long time I was reading r*pe, pr*stitution, SA and pure violent contents like this, hiding behind the holy « it’s fiction ».
Well… after more than a decade, a lot of education about gender dynamics and being in my late 20’s which means encounter various situations irl, I realized how dangerous those types of readings are. There is no room for critical thinking, actual jugements, consequences, remorses, care, help, or simply questionning…
I became aware about the links between those fictionals contents and the way we finally think and behave in reality, slowly growing disgusted by them.
Feel free to keep reading it if you want. Who am I to tell you what to do ?
But frankly… those types of experiences exist, I witnessed it, endured it, got hurt by them. Now, I need to rest, heal, read well writen manhwa and care about my loved ones to protect them from those behaviours.
Last thing : Dan is a victim. JK an abuser.
Sorry, too long, but I needed to say it before leaving…
