Nah man rape is just romanticized in yaoi and yuri and its wrong. Yaoi is not gay representation, its eye candy for women to consume. As long as you can distinguish fiction from reality then its not a big deal. We all know rape is wrong, but don’t try to justify this toxic troupe just because Souichi hits Morinaga over the head a few times.. with the majority being literally WARRANTED and DESERVED. Don’t use your past experiences to justify this trope. Just stop. It’s fans like you that’re blindsided from emotions that keeps this trend continuing.
You totally missed my point and proved my point in one post. Thank you.
Nah, you're just ignorant.
How about instead of just one toxic troupe to be removed from all forms of art, all of them should be. Then we will have nothing but fluff and roses to read. Then we can all live in one big utopia.
So you rather have terrible things like rape and murder occur in the world rather than it be peaceful? Okaayyy ms psychopath..
No one's saying these other things you listed (murder, age gap etc. --in which I have personally heard things about) aren't as bad as rape. Everyone KNOWS these things are bad, but rape is romanticized PURPOSELY in yaoi and it just perpetuates the stigma that homosexuality is predatory and merely lustful, as though all homosexuals are just sex deviants. It's not that hard to understand why most readers depise this trope.
I would rather there be peace, but I am not delusional either. For as long as there are humans there will never be a utopia. Everyone is capable of doing good or doing evil, and when push comes to shove you will find your true self. I already know I have a dark side, and I have accepted it. But it is only limited to the things I like to read, watch, or listen to. It does not mean I want it in real life. You assume way too much.
Thank you for the compliment.
You didn’t acknowledge any of what I really mentioned. Only a slither.. just proves that 12 year old fuoshis will continue to be blindesided. :
When I was five years old, my parents allowed me to watch a 1982 horror movie called "Poltergeist". I was scared after watching the movie, but my parents pointed out that the same actors and actresses where also in other movies and tv shows. They taught me what was and what was not real. They taught me the difference between fiction and nonfiction as well as fantasy and reality. My parents are the ones who taught me what is not taught in schools. They also for the most part kept an eye on what I was reading and watching. If a parent is not doing their job with teaching their children and monitoring what they read and watch, it is the fault of the parents not the fault of the entertainment industry which manga is a part of. Adult manga is also clearly marked as such with a warning attached.
Bruh this conversation was ended a long time ago when I obliterated your ass. Fuck outta here
I find it funny how everyone is so up in arms about the rape seen(s), but they let go of the fact that Sempi physically and mentally abuses Morinaga. Then call it something cute like tsundra (not sure how it is spelled). It is funny how I rarely hear anyone complain about bullying, murder, kidnapping/confinement, age gap (when one of them is underage), beast, and ext. Especially if rape is added to the story, then everything else is forgotten about, or is not held to the same standard as rape if they still remember everything else. All of it is wrong in real life, no matter how you look at it. But in fantasy art such as manga, no one is actually getting hurt because the characters are not real. I myself have been a rape victim in real life (twice), but I understand what these authors are trying to do when they add a rape scene to the story they are trying to tell. That is to draw specific emotions from a reader most of the time related to the story. There are a lot of people who fantasize about being raped, but not actually wanting it to happen. The authors bring that fantasy to those specific readers in a safe way. I am also one of those readers. As long as you can keep fantasy separate from reality, then no harm no foal. Stop advocating for victims in the fantasy world, and take it to the real world were it is actually needed (but do not try to force a victim to come forward before they are ready, that can be just as mentally damaging as the actual crime).
