"stay mad" and it's just people criticising that the story contains r4p3 and assault. You're not different from those m*le who defend incest and r4p3 in

THIS

yea I agree with you!!! Ppl mad over those scenes then why they read this literally!!!

My point exactly

Agreed!! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

Agree

So, following your line of thinking, if I read a crime novel about a murderer, does that mean I'm a murderer too? Wow, if everyone thought that way, half the movies and books in the world wouldn't have been written... Some stories are dark, not everything is always sunshine and rainbows. You have a choice. You can read about war, murder, and abusive or you can read only happy stories, but you have no right to insult someone for their literary choices because that's just stupid..

This. Whenever I see people trying to drag readers, shame the artist, and their works, and call others out for reading the exact same story they’re reading, I just laugh and call them hypocrites.
A lot of them come across as people with a moral superiority complex who secretly enjoy the story but can’t admit it because they feel guilty about it. So, to make themselves feel better, they start insulting other readers just to convince themselves they’re somehow morally sane.
And what makes it even funnier is that some of these same people don’t mind reading femdom stories, but suddenly act like they’re above everyone else when it comes to this type of trope.
As long as no one is trying to justify his actions here, which is more than I can say for some femdom stories, I don’t really see an issue with people reading stories like this.
At the end of the day, people can consume dark fiction, discuss it, criticize it, enjoy the plot, and still acknowledge that the character’s actions are wrong

Of course! Just because a story interests us doesn't mean we sympathize with the characters or agree with their actions. Curiosity is human, not a sin.

Yes, and guess what? Most of the people calling the story trash and insulting the people reading it are still here reading it too. They keep coming back every chapter just to hate-read, complain, and moral-police other readers into feeling guilty or uncomfortable for enjoying the story. Coz If you hate it that much and know the outcome of the plot, why are you still here, if not just being a hypocrite

Haters will hate, that's how people are but it comes from ignorance ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Facts

I’m not saying people who read dark stories support abuse in real life. What I’m criticizing is when assault is romanticized and framed as ‘true love’ without real consequences. There’s a difference between portraying something dark and glorifying it. People are allowed to enjoy it, but others are also allowed to question how it’s being presented

you’re right that people can enjoy dark fiction responsibly. but in this fandom, there are visible cases of readers justifying his behavior because he’s attractive or powerful. defending abusive behavior just because the character is attractive is the problem here, because it shows how easily it gets softened or romanticized. it’s not about shaming readers for reading it. it’s about how criticism gets dismissed or mocked even when it’s focused on how the relationship is portrayed. and yes, not every story has to be sunshine and rainbows, but people are also allowed to say they’d prefer a story where harmful actions aren’t rewarded with a romantic ending. if some people can defend the story, others can also criticize it and call it out.

There’s no point arguing in circles. The pattern is pretty clear: criticism of romanticizing abuse gets reframed as “attacking readers” or “moral policing,” which effectively shuts the criticism down instead of addressing it.
When you look at the replies from Silla and others, the discussion consistently shifts away from the actual point and turns into calling critics hypocrites or overly sensitive. That’s why these conversations never really move forward.

literally

I agree with you on this, but my main issue is when people start shaming and judging other readers for liking or reading these kinds of stories. And honestly, I can assure you that I haven’t seen people here justifying or romanticizing rape and abuse to the extent some people claim. I’m not saying it never happens, but I haven’t personally seen anyone defending Leon’s actions the way you all keep insisting they are.
Yes, Leon is handsome and attractive to some readers and not to others. Yes, he and the FL will have a happy ending despite all the disgusting he’s done. And yes, many readers can get past that, which is why we’re still here reading the story. Otherwise, I doubt most of us would still be around just to hate-read every chapter.
I’ve even seen people call the artist a misogynist because of the story, which I think is unfair and just shows how immature some readers can be. At the end of the day, it’s fiction. Some people choose to criticize it, while others enjoy it for what it is, a dark romance, dark fiction, or whatever label you want to give it.
My point is that neither readers nor artists should be insulted over fictional content. Hate the story if you want, criticize it if you want, but people who enjoy it shouldn’t be shamed either, as long as they understand that certain themes and actions being portrayed are wrong.
And honestly, I wish the same energy people bring to stories where the victim is a woman was also brought into other spaces, especially certain femdom communities. From my experience, I’ve seen far more people openly defend or downplay abuse in those spaces than I have here. Yet I rarely see people fighting those battles with the same intensity over there the way they do here.
At the end of the day rape is highly wrong and bad but can also be consumed and enjoyed when reading for the kink and fetish

you know, if someone calls someone a "r@pist just like ML is" just because he wrote what the ending of this comic will be like (because he knows it from the novel), it goes beyond criticism and is just insulting someone for some unknown reason... that's the point of this discussion

First time in my family lineage seeing someone put "rape is bad" and "but..." in the same sentence. I guess whatever pays the bills...

Yeah they is first time for everything, happy to know I made a history record for you and your family
