ok but are we forgetting that the mc is indeed kinky and he's very apparently into that? ppl have kinks yk and while it is not negotiated here beforehand, it doesn't look like mc minds it. in many other manhwas i would not enjoy such thing either but in this context it's not sa and we can tell.
i get your point, but this is not a basic kink and you all know it. the author should have put more structure, especially because this story is about fantasies and stuff. it's an editorial choice they can easily write about trauma and personality, but not the importance of consent? like, having two or three speech bubbles a chapter earlier where sideum tells him "if you ever want to do that to me while i'm sleeping, go ahead." it seems like nothing, but it's so important imo, especially when we know the audience reading this is getting younger and younger. my comment is mostly overall like in m all bl manhwas, there are so many that take this way too lightly and normalize it, like he woke up and enjoyed it, so it's ok. or oh it was a mistake but i was angry/drunk/sad/horny. i just find this sad yk :(
i agree with u, the trend of rape and sa in (especially) manhwas is so disturbing. consent is ofc very very important, and even in kinky stories it is nice and appreciated to have 'negotiated' kinks. but not speaking overall, just of this specific story, in the beginning ideum deliberately keeps his window wide open for jaeyi to see him ride his dildo, he tries to give a sleeping jaeyi oral before too. so all this activism over this chapter seems like a double standard. why did readers just accept that oohh ideum's a kinky freak but now jaeyi is SAing him ykwim?
you're valid but im calling out the double standard. no hard feelings <3
igwym but ideum showing himself at the window might be public indecency, even inside his home, but jaeyi chose to keep watching in later chapters after the first accident. so jaeyi clearly consented to keep looking. for the blowjob, you mean when he was sleepy, not fully asleep, right? if it’s the chapter i’m thinking of. none of that freaks me out, but for me somnophilia is still kinda creepy when it’s not romantise (what if it’s not my partner who is forcing onto me for example). then again, we read a lot of other wild stuff so i get the double standard thing. it’s just creepy how this kink keeps popping up and getting normalized without consent despite the heavy social context.
no hard feelings though, i get that at the end of the day it’s just porn
this is the third manhwa chapter i read today that includes sleeping sa, and that’s just today..it happens all the time anyway.
it’s so disturbing and i’m genuinely concerned about how widespread this « fantasy » seems to be among korean authors, especially given how many real-life cases involve people being sexually assaulted while asleep, drunk, or drugged (essentially anytime they couldn't consent). i know this is driven by supply and demand from the readers, which makes me just as worried about the audience as i am about the creators. what makes it worse is that the characters almost always know that what they’re doing is wrong and know it’s a violation, yet it keeps happening anyway. it’s just so exhausting.
