You're not a bad person for liking morally questionable manga

I haven't read the manga yet, but I've gotten shit for liking things in media (tv shows, books, etc) that wouldn't fly in real life or are morally questionable. But this is a little secret that puritans like to forget: just because you like something in fiction doesn't mean you're going to go do it or condone it in real life. Just because you find morally questionable things in media reprehensible doesn't mean you get to decide whether or not it should be allowed to be portrayed / used as a plot device. You don't get to decide whether or not the people who like reading these kinds of things are good people or not. We know it's not right in real life, you don't have to keep constantly reminding us to make yourself feel like a good person.

If you like reading these kinds of things you aren't a bad person and you don't deserve harassment and scorn for it.

(In response to another comment but I felt it would be good as a topic in itself).
