I just don’t understand how MC’s royalty but a duke who is a lesser aristocrat can forcibly imprint on the royal prince and have his way with him without repercussions? Couldn’t he just be killed or made an example of going beyond his station? Why even have the MC be a prince of he doesn’t wield any useful power? Other than his occupation and appearance meet a trope and author probably just liked.
My theory is that the Duke, being the regent for some years (implicitly explained), have more political power than the prince. And forceful imprinting him would probably be put under the rug by the majority of the Nobles (because their interest is not being damaged). But it's still too early to say whether the author have some plot or this is just smut ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Not if the said Duke has military power or more sway in the political affairs which it looks like. The way the Duke conducts himself, he isn't affraid of any repurcussions.And I wonder how killing tge Duke could affect the Prince now that the Prince has imprinted the Duke. Duke honestly feels like one of those scumbag alphas who has multiple partners just bc he can. He probably forcefully made many omegas imprint on him one sidedly so he can reap benefits off them.
Mostly Dukes are more powerful than crown they hold large area and military, political powers that's why prince and kings are mostly stupid and powerless against dukes has no choice but to be befriend with them, crown play symbol of faith believing among people while Duke work behind. But who knows how author wanna make it in this story.
What is it about abuse and toxic relationships that people find sexy to read and watch? Why is it the number one utilized trope in most genres across the board, that continues to gather audiences from all ages and backgrounds?
I guess you haven’t been corrupted, yet.
Meh. Relationship? Hit and run is better.
Because readers find conflicts intriguing. We like seeing characters being challenged to overcome a situation (which may or may not be resolved). Most fiction is based on some element of conflict, all of which span every genres of manga:
man vs. man
man vs. self
man vs. society
man vs. supernatural
man vs. tech/machinery
We're all just there for the sex
Lmao
Honestly fluff is so boring. Like for 80 chapters all the uke and seme do is UWU each other, not even a fukin kiss. Blush here, Blush there…. UGHHHH So boring. I just want the Seme to pound the Uke so hard till he starts bleeding But Nope nope nope NOT in fluffy Mangas!!! That is the reason why I love hardcore and mangas with fuked up caracters.
I think in this case, the person is asking more why so many people gloss over toxicity and problematic relationships in vast majority of yaoi stories. A conflict/climax is needed in almost every story to keep interest flowing and have readers want to find out more. But in many cases of yaoi stories, the toxicity in the relationship is actually not even used as a conflict at all, in fact it always gets swept over as nothing, or a slight little "misunderstanding" between the two characters, when in reality it's HUGE problems such as non-consensual sex, rape, verbal and/or physical abuse. These types of situations aren't regarded as "conflicts" in these stories, they always get glossed over as "it was just a moment of jealousy", or "it's cause of his tragic past". It gives young readers this idea that if a man does or has any of these toxic characteristics, it's actually because he "loves you", and that right there, is a big problem in society because men or women won't leave their toxic partner since there's the thought that "he/she is only doing this cause they love me".
Things like these shouldn't be overlooked, but the reality is that they almost always are, and authors and also readers almost always refuse to acknowledge in fact just how toxic the relationship actually is, because, like most comments above said, most people are only reading for the sex.
The love-hate trope differs from toxic/abusive relationships. The person is questioning why people overlook yaoi stories where relationships involve things like non-consensual sex, rape, verbal and/or physical abuse.
I love the hate-to-love trope, it's my personal favourite, but just because the two characters hate each other, doesn't excuse for non-consensual sex, or rape, there's absolutely no excuse that justifies any of those actions, but in vast majority of yaoi stories, that's exactly what happens, and the author and readers refuse to acknowledge how wrong those actions are, and it gets glossed over with a couple exhcnages of "I love yous".
Cause it’s yaoi. Lmfao. I
Lmfao, bleeding out on the sidewalk. So hot.
oof got me there my guy
I've said this before- it's a comic book, not a blueprint for real life. Characters/situations are overdramatised in an entertainment medium, so it's fine if readers cheer on the bad character of their choice. The Joker is cool, but a real life psychopath is not ok.
Yeah but the joker's character isn't painted to be this saint or portrayed as the correct form of morality, he's not a character that's glorifying psychopathy.
Toxicity or what you refer to as "entertainment" in yaoi is almost ALWAYS glorified or excused despite how wrong some of this stuff is.
I know rape is a fantasy many people have, especially women. Yaoi is able to give them that fantasy. I would argue that yaoi SHOULD not be read by young people. The ones that contain rape or abuse should be read by mature audiences.
In many cases, Joker is seen as a cool rebel hence why many want to be him (cosplay).
do you ever wish there was an option to block having to see a particular manga when you visit this site? Like god i remember that manga and hated it, let me just block it and never have to see it or its comments ever again.
Blood bank yes
not manga, some mangago users yes lol
So like where is the MC’s life birthing father…
