Am I too woke?
Okay so, I’ve been on this site for god knows how long. I’ve read tons of manga, manhwa, manhua, and novels — I’m not illiterate. I’ve even published stuff on AO3.
What I don’t get is: why do so many people just forget about the victims of SA in BL and yaoi?
I’ve come across so many works that are cute, fluffy, and funny on the surface. But if you look closely at the details, there’s clear SA in there. And the comment section is just… so forgetting... Like, sure, maybe it’s “needed for the plot,” but is it really necessary?

The amount of SA added is always sometimes unnecessary like they're being glorified or something. Sometimes I just think that maybe it's like awareness thing like making me realized both women and men get sexualized and SA. But it's also unnecessary because not everyone in your life woulda face the same thing. They could also learn there is SA, con...... 1 reply

Okay so, I have been reading yaoi since webtoons weren't a thing, manhwas were scarce (at least on the internet) and manhuas always had a historical background, and, since then, honestly more then than now (thank god), there has always existed rape and sexual assault in too many stories. You could find some novels, but BL was rare and with st...... 2 reply
No, you’re not too woke. Its just that most people probably only read it for the porn and dont care about the moral or social aspects of it because its fiction. Or they dont want to consider it because it would mean rethinking their world view and maybe acknowledging that something they themselves have done would be considered SA.
As for the SA ...... reply
