With the forums and comment section back i realised how much i missed interacting with people here. It makes everything so much fun. Ofc there can be a lot of mean coments and heated discussions, but i love talking to people whom share these experiences with me. I love making friends and i missed meeting new fujoshis and fudanshis. If anyone wants to chat feel free to message <3
It's crazy how authors always draw r*pe victims with hard ons and even ejaculating. Like, look at how traumatazing this scene was even for Baeksa (an Imoogi, powerful). It's so unsetlelling to even read it. And the author literly draw Baeksa (outside the dream) all ejaculated? That's not okay man, people being raped (even men) won't find that arousing, it's frightning and traumatizing, this needs to stop.
Well that's not exactly true many rape victims can and do actually climax during it and it fucks them up mentally cause they didn't want to. With Baeksa body he easily gets aroused even when he doesn't want to as we've seen before. It's how authors normalize rape as something that just happens in relationships and sometimes even romanticize it that's super fucked up. I didn't actually read this chapter cause it was too much for me, and will probably drop this now, so I don't know exactly what happened. But it's misinformation that victims never feel physically aroused. Still doesn't and will never justify rape though, I want to clarify that. But yeah I hope the author makes them deal with Baeksa trauma appropriately instead of glossing over it like most do.
I totally get your point and agree with you when said some victims can and actually do climax, but i've never said "victims NEVER feel physically aroused", so i can't agree with the part that says i'm causing some "misinformation". Each individual can (and will) react differently during diferent sexual harassement, and some people can (and will) get aroused making them, as you said, feel bad. Also agree that in this comic's case the caracter is influenced by a lot of other things. I just wanted to point how authors (as you also said and i feel the same) are romanticizing r*ape latelly, making extremelly common and this frustrates me so much, since it's a topic tha shouldn't be treated like that.
This is the one series where rape and sex are handled in a more serious setting ((through all 3 parties that is Muyeong, Baeksa and Yehwa btw)) and your first thought was "why is he hard, tho :c"???
The stuff they made Yehwa drink has long term-- or even lifelong-- effects on the user's body. The man who makes this stuff told Muyeong when he asked if there was a way to stop Baeksa from going "into heat" basically. Baeksa has 0 control over what the body or the memories of the host does to him. He doesn't have full control 'cause there's something he has to solve regarding Muyeong and Yehwa's memories/relationship so even tho he's a powerful demi-drake he's ultimately powerless.
We've seen so many examples throughout this series of this happening. Even tho his own soul recognizes that what he is experiencing isn't real, his body, the body that had suffered so much abuse and trauma, remembers it vividly.
That's why even tho he is reliving the memories of Yehwa being raped, between the lingering effects of the drug and having 0 control over his body during these fits, he's hard.
Hope that helps lol
Yeah now that I reread your comment you didn't say "never" it was more implied, so sorry about that. And don't get me wrong I totally agree with you. This one is more special where its kind of grey area, the author isn't doing anything wrong, and is handling this topic a lot better than most. Basically all other authors that have straight up SA pass it off as nothing, that trends need to die immediately. But yeah it sucks how SA and rape is so normalized, especially in Yaoi. Not saying SA can't be in stories but it needs to be treated seriously not like some romantic story which thankfully this author isn't doing so far.
