Thoughts About Rape In Fiction

I honestly wanna know this too. I've been reading bl for years now but fell out of reading manga until I turned 21. As I started reading manga again I got back into bl and realized how many bl stories have the "rape to lovers", "sexual harassment", "blackmail", and "abusive boyfriend being excused as protective" tropes and it fucking kills me. I of......   reply

I'm just saying one (a bit embarrassing, maybe) thing: I like reading non consensual things because it's one of my biggest fantasies and it excites me a lot. That doesn't mean, of course, that I think rape is ok or that I desire to be raped. It's just something I fantasize about, therefore I like seeing it in a story. Doesn't matter if the rapist i......   4 reply

So I've seen people complaining about rape and people complaining about the people bitching about rape but lately I wondered whether the people who didn't mind rape in yaoi are hypocrites.

I get the impression that people don't mind rape if it's not violent (eg. beating, torture) and isn't treated seriously in the story but what if the one who raped the uke is not the seme but some other random guy? would you guys still say that rape is okay? If it was during the beginning of the story and the seme and uke have yet to develop feelings for each other but the uke was vanilla raped (not violent) would you think that it was fine?

I don't know, the main argument that people who are fine with rape in yaoi usually say things like - "it's fiction" or "it always happens in yaoi anyway" but I think they're fine with it because the uke usually ends up with the rapist anyway (aka seme). I feel like there is bias towards seme rapists and are given a free pass and are usually praised at the end of the series but if they weren't the seme they would be trashed upon.

Im actually cool (more or less dont give a fuck) with rape in hentai and yaoi dojin/oneshots being exaggerated and being a pleasure, bcs it's blatantly a fantasy fap material. If peeple take that porn with real life, they might need some reality check. (Edit: kinda change my mind, kinda wish there's less rape hentais and yaois, not to obliterate th......   reply

I think it's important to write traumatic scenarios but it has to be done right. It has to be talked about, carefully of course. Writing rape into fiction can make characters more relatable but you HAVE to make it clear it was a terrible thing. I don't like how a big trope in romance is rape that kicks off a relationship. The old 'Oh, that's just h......   reply

I would like to preface by saying I'm one of those despicable people who gets off on rape fantasy (well now more so rape-play since I find it better on my conscious lol) I'm like the ultimate consumer of fucked up and twisted fiction, it's because I love it so much that I put way too much effort into consuming it critically. /With that said/ I can......   2 reply

Just because a manga artist/author depicts rape in a manga does not mean they support rape. It can be used to create a story or a plot line on how the mc finds a support system. I get why a person would be upset or outrage by depictions however different manga appeal to different people. There is a difference between a fantasy and a real world sc......   reply

as a rape victim myself, rape in mangas/manhua disgust and triggers me, but as long as the author makes in clear that the rape happening in the story isn't romanticised and won't lead to a relationship and a happy ending and instead makes the victim over-comes their trauma and the rapist get's punished for his cime, im totally okay with it. but who......   2 reply

I'm not really bothered by it most of the time. The few times it bothers me is usually when it's like two people who are already in a relationship and there's some argument or something that leads to rape, like Escape Journey. I could not finish that manga after the rape scene, though I quite liked it before. If the rape is towards the beginning of......   reply

I definitely don't actively search for manga/ manwha with rape. But honestly, these types of works are almost unavoidable. And there are some with rape scene/s that were good reads. Say for instance, I enjoy Ogawa Chise's works. It's all sorts of fucked up alright, but there's already an expectation in this artist's works. Fucked up, psychological......   reply
