because why would it be? it's not explicitly stated, and therefore its safe to assume that its not based off of a real rape victim,, you need evidence to prove that its based on real victims, not the other way around. Those plots are merely coincidences, every single fiction story happened to someone irl, (if its not some crazy shit like fairies and fantasy) doesn't mean that story was intentionally based off of them, if you encounter a story based off of a real rape victim and it's romanticized then you shouldn't read it because that actually isnt fiction, and is harmful to the victim.
Thanks for proving my point. It isn't explicitly stated to be a true story, which means it’s fiction.
+ Your argument makes no sense. You admit that fiction naturally mirrors real-life experiences, but then claim it only becomes 'harmful' if the author explicitly puts a 'Based on a True Story' label on it? The trauma of slavery and sexual assault and the likes exists in the real world whether an author names a specific victim or not. My point stands: it is a fictional story utilizing dark tropes. If readers cannot handle dark, uncomfortable, or historically insensitive themes in fiction, they should curate their own reading lists instead of policing what everyone else is allowed to read.
Was Titanic a real boat? Yes. Did it sink? Yes. Does that mean Jack and Rose were real people? No. It’s called historical fiction. The Civil War happened, but this manhwa is a fictional story using a historical trope. History is real; this manhwa is fiction. It’s not a difficult concept. Authors use real-world history to build fictional worlds all the time. If you think reading a fictional story about a trope means someone is denying real history, you are completely out of touch with how fiction works.
I'm ctfu how did u get the conclusion I'm throwing a fit or getting mad, the projection is so obvious its painful my logic is just fine, but the way you completely (I'm not sure if u genuinely didnt understand what I said or deliberately decided against replying to my point bc u don't have a reply) dismissed my point and went on and on about something unrelated to the main aspect is concerning

Are people forgetting that fact that these yaoi plots are all fictional?????? Jesus...
Y'all are insufferable!!
