Never even thought about this cause I know that what I am reading is fiction. This is how I feel about reincarnated stories too. I read a ton of them but I do not believe in reincarnation in real life. I am a person who can separate real life to fiction. I do not know how a lot of people cannot understand that.

I think morals have nothing to do of me reading yaoi too much... In fact reading any story shows u a side of life which u may have never noticed or unconsciously didn't see....

Yaoi is fiction, so I'm open to way more things than I would in real life. I don't really have anything that's "too far" just tropes that I don't like that make me immediately drop the manga.

I think there has got to be a gap in between real life / reality morals and fiction. A lot of people get so enraged especially reading yaoi since there's questionable elements like rape, but they have to realise this is all fiction. I mean, otherwise, every other piece of fiction you read, you'll get so angry, then what's the point of reading for leisure?

If you are talking about general comics, of all genres.
Morals of the characters are a great way to stimulate our perception of life.
For example, a good story would present "questionable" morals in order to spark a discussion or to raise awareness of an issue. Great stories (literary) like the "handmaid's tale", "animal farm" have characters with questionable morals and intentions, they do not expect readers to follow their morals, but for readers to question it(and the structure of society)

I really enjoy reading psychological mangas that really stimulate our perception of right and wrong.

For yaoi, I assume you want to bring up the typical *rape*, non-con, fetishizing debate. I believe that since the genre is a fictitious work, aimed at stimulating sexual desire and catering to fantasies, it should be treated as such. If a reader finds morals that conflict with their own, it's a good exercise to discuss with oneself as to why and to understand where their own boundaries lie. For some readers who enjoy such work, I'd assume they are aware of the fictitious nature of it. Or have the maturity to understand the reasons why authors present the characters as such, and who the audience is. The purpose of some yaoi is not to stimulate our understanding of morals but to merely stimulate our desires or kinks. This is why they represent the kinks of some audiences and may appear illogical to some. Like, you don't expect a work that's drawn to purely stimulate sexual desire or to stimulate a romantic fantasy to be logical. as being logical is not the purpose of the work. The purpose is to cater to a group of reader's fantasies. Not their reality.

The main issue of morality in animated works is its impact on the young mind. The young readers may not have the degree of maturity to differentiate between "right" and "wrong" and may assume fictitious works reflect "reality". They may adopt questionable morals from fictitious works thinking that they are "morally normal" in society.
This could be easily solved if they find that their newly learned "morals" differ from those around them. Which is a normal part of the learning process.

Oops ... Looks like I didn't got the question and gave a different ans.... I think .. Morals should be there... Cuz, fiction or not, it should be relatable to life, I mean the way life is.....
And I think rape isn't the reason why I drop a stry.. I drop a stry when it doesn't make sense... Like liking someone who treats u like trash or the one who rapped u....
If a stry has something which should be considered wrong then it should be shown like that..... And when I read a stry I don't consider it as being fiction cuz, if I'm gonna see them like that then how am I even gonna enjoy it or being hurt when a heart breaks in stories.... It's like not feeling anything....
