Grape, grape, grape !
It’s astonishing that someone’s first reaction to being r*ped is to ask their r*pist to get undressed to check whether their d*ck is still working.
Even within fiction, it feels SO unrealistic, especially with Rian stating last time that he'll "never ever bottom for Enzo again" lol.
Where did the s*xual tension and the strong writing go ? I can’t believe this is the same story as last year...
I wish it was shounen ai so we wouldn’t have to see this disgusting shit, literally this manhwa became ahh now, everytime I see that black haired bitchass on my screen I feel like giving him the hardest slap or chop him in pieces that motherfucker can’t believe its the same author from red candy just ew
Saying “if you don’t like it, just drop it” is insane.
That’s not the point. The bigger issue is the romanticization and historical washing of these subjects. So yeah, the fact that some people will ignore or excuse something and keep reading doesn’t mean those who pay attention to these issues have to stay silent.
If our voices can reach even a small number of people and make them think more deeply about it, that’s already a win.
It’s better than letting ignorance and a lack of awareness go unchallenged.
The premise is already problematic as it is, but just imagine if there’s ever a grape scene on top of that, it'll be the icing on the cake !
People would actually go “Oh, the poor white man being assaulted by the Native American slave !”
Like, how wrong is that ?!
A story set during the Civil War having a Native character say "I am your humble slave master" and romanticizing this sh*t is wild as F*ck !!
Oh my gosh, yes I keep forgetting to include this but the concept of a native American telling a white man he is a slave for him knowing damn well throughout history native Americans have stood in perseverance, condemning European settlers the more I look at this from different angles the more piss I get
The mom is so cute, looks just like her son !
Also this chapter was hilarious !
LOL !! This issue blew up so much it even reached Korean media sites (like theqoo), and many Koreans are baffled and urging the author to scrap the whole thing, saying it’s problematic and questioning whether they’re insane for handling such a sensitive topic in such a half-assed way. They’re also saying not to mess with other countries’ history using such a lazy premise !!
So the commenters here who were arguing there’s no issue with it or saying “let’s wait and see,” you’ve been exposed ! There’s no excuse for you anymore, not that there was any to begin with, it’s obvious many of you are either hypocrites, racists, or ignorant fujos, or all of the above, especially when even Koreans can recognize the problem here, and are asking the author to change the premise.
At this point, there’s nothing left to say. Mic drop.
the problem is serious considering racism and slavery is an actual thing in history and it should never be romanticized. I'm glad they're actually seeing the problem here it's the bare minimum lmao how can the author even think of imagining a "slave" in a sexual and romantic relationship with their "owner", especially since they use actual history. It's crazy
Im so glad this issue is being addressed on the official/korean sites!
that's wonderful news.
and i've seen an image on reddit that an actual Indigenous person, from Canada, just today, has sent an official formal complaint emails to RIDI and Manta's business emails. even RIDI's PR public email. somethings happening. like actually
Thank you. I’m glad and not surprised because they can definitely empathize as they went through something similar during Imperial Japan.
this is why speaking up is important! it helps others realize what is wrong and correct it. it's never performative to speak up on heavy societal issues that is clearly being handled lightly
