Why are there so many people reading yaoi but are uncomfortable?
I’m starting to see a wave of complainers on comment section on almost every manga. Wether if it’s because of the gore or rape scenes in it. Aren’t we reading yaois because we want to take a break from the mundane? We dive into these ridiculous storylines for fun or excitement. It’s like I see people purposely deciding to watch a horror movie but then know it in themselves that they can’t stand horror. Are people just hate-binging? Is this a thing?
First of all, could you please not compare murder to rape?
No one's ever had a problem with authors using the topic and issue of sexual assault in their works. What we have a problem with is the romanticization of it. That and only that is where the problem lies. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I will whole-heartedly read stories depict...... 2 reply
It’s tiring to see people comparing rape with murder in fiction. Murder is way less romantized than rape. The problem is not the presence of something in itself but the romantization, that’s when it becomes dangerous.
And murder is not as common as rape IRL. It’s likely that you have a rape victim or even a rapist among your acquaintances. ...... 1 reply
Don't you just hate it when people express their negative opinions about romanticized rape in yaoi? Like shut up and let me read my rape smut in peace. How dare you express your opinions on comment section that was initially made so people could express their opinions? 2 reply
Yup it’s weird asf and then they acted all surprised when you ask them “then why are you reading it?” And they respond “cuz I like the story” like huuuuuh weren’t you the same one complaining about it being all about rape and this and that IT HAS A PSYCHOLOGICAL/ TRAGEDY TAG FOR A REASON PEOPLE GET IT TOGETHER reply
LMAOO I think the same
I'm a simple person, if I see something I don't like, I ignore it lol (and sometimes discussing it with my friends)
but usually, I don't dislike anything, just bad-developed characters and flat storylines, that's all 1 reply
this is so fucked... maybe YOU'RE okay with reading rape smuts but not everyone is. maybe YOU find rape and non con scenes fun and exciting but not everyone feels the same. Isn't it more concerning how normalized rape is in mlm readings? How expected it is to come across a sexual harassment scene? If you think people who have different opinions fro...... reply
I can totally see where you're coming from. Personally, my issue isn't with people who comment on not liking a story for its taboo subject matter. That is their right. My issues are with people who go "ThIs StORy Is BaD, aND If YoU dOnT hAtE iT lIkE mE, yOu'rE bAd ToO!" That type of shit aggravates me to no end. Like, my dude, you do realize that y...... 2 reply
It’s up to them if they wanna complain or not. ie shit like normalizing rape or making it romantic shit like that is reason to complain. I don’t have a problem if there is rape or murder (gore) after all shit like that happens irl the problem is when the author tries to normalize/romanticized that an automatic 1 star. reply
