Is it ok to like fictional rape/incest/sexualized minors?
This is a bit of a tough question but imma ask it anyways. So many people hate BL because BL is notorious for basically romanticizing rape, sexualizing minors, and exploring a lot of taboo topics (i.e. incest). Of course this make sense because historically BL really came from dj culture which was about just sexual stuff and stuff. But the concern about allowing this sort of flexibility with BL still stands. Is it ok to enjoy seeing minors sexualized in manga and dj? Is it ok to keep supporting relationships that start from rape? Is incest ok in fiction?
People say “it’s just fiction” but many also argue that fiction can bleed into reality. How would you respond?
Say you are ok with shouta and you saw pedophilia in a TV show...would you still be ok with that? Where exactly are the boundaries?
Does liking taboo stuff like incest mean you’re subconsciously ok with it? Do you think these taboo subjects are connected to morals? Is fiction where you can “break” your morals?
For me I have no issue separating reality with fiction. But I see the issue with liking something in fiction and seeing how it translates to reality for some people. So I don’t exactly put “characters” and “humans” in the same sort of category so I don’t have the same boundaries established for characters. Like murder? I condemn murder in real life but murder in fiction? I don’t even flinch an eye. That’s not to say I completely have different standards for characters (like if a character is cheating on someone I wouldn’t like that character) but I still have looser rules (?) for the fictional world. Although frankly I’m just confused if I can like BL despite BL being low key problematic.
Thank you if you read this far. If you can comment your answers and/or thoughts I would like to read them.
This is a really good question. Its kinda important too, I've been thinking about this a lot.
I agree that fiction is not reality but I also am completely aware that fiction can bleed and influence reality.
I don't have a problem with "toxic" stories as long as the people who are reading it realize that the story is a just a good read and nothing...... 2 reply
Umm, when 12-13 years old see comments supporting these stuff, they will start thinking it's normal. So I don't really think we should actually allow these, not even in fictions 1 reply

fiction or not, reading about pedophilic rape/relationships framed in a romantic light is absolutely not okay. some shows/mangas show fucked up shit, which is okay when it’s depicted in an “abusive” or “fucked up” lense instead of it being something hot to get off to. unfortunately a lot of yaois disregard that part completely, and writes...... reply
Idc what kind of BL or WLW or straight shit, thats not fucking okay. You’re just a fucking pedophile, disgusting. I didn’t even read that whole ass shit, because the fact that you even asked that is beyond me. what the hell is wrong with you? 1 reply
This is a pretty good question. For me I think its okay to show rape/incest/abuse/etc. But it goes too far when a person likes or fantasies about it, since this these types of topics are very sensitive things and should not be taken lightly. They're happening everyday and right at this moment its really not something to be proud about and to share....... 1 reply
TL;DR: I don't condone Shota/Loli/pedophilia in any sexualized manner. BL and noncon are ok as long as the people consuming the content understand that things don't work like that/aren't ok IRL.
I think to an extent reality can be separated from fiction. I love reading about taboo situations all the time but I would never engage in them in anyway ...... 2 reply
