Sorry, guys! During system maintenance, some functions like comment are unavailable.
you should be confronted for liking certain things
omg let’s start a discourse
now that i’m in my 20s i’ve realized not only that it actually *is* that deep, but you absolutely *should* criticize the media you consume and you yourself are not immune to criticism on what you enjoy based on the reasons you consume it. my mangago acct is like 7 or 8 years old and i’ve seen discourse on stories like Killing Stalking, BJ Alex, If You Hate Me So, Love is An Illusion!, Never Understand, Love or Hate (EW), Painter of the Night, the list goes on—i was a kid reading this stuff which is evident in my stupid fucking wannabe comedian comments, but i still felt like depending on how a story’s written, some stuff just isn’t right, like the copious amounts of r**e in yaoi that’s supposed to be perceived as “romantic”, or “romantic” incest(???). just like how the normalization of (artistic) CSA material harms real children in Japan, these stories aren’t just stories, and it’s kinda freaky how many kids/teens on here will cuss you all the way out for saying otherwise like they’re morally superior to you. but, what do you all think?
Teens will cuss you out because they're being groomed by adults that make them believe "it's fictional so it's okay". Idc about children being mad if I make a comment saying rape/shota/loli is bad because when I was 11/12 I was also the impression this shit was okay because of the grown male anime YouTubers i used to follow, i feel bad for the teen...... 3 reply
Literally started with BJ Alex and Killing Stalking when I was 14. My biggest issue in these is like how often people's enjoyment and recommendation to these fucked up "love" stories lead to it skewing young people's perspective of what is healthy or not. There was a time then where Killing Stalking was classified as BL tho never felt like it, sinc...... 1 reply
This is a very nuanced topic and a very much repeatedly discussed topic in the forums from what I've observed. I've been jumped by the so called shotacons in shota oni comment section many times simply for trying to explain that enjoying certain things,even in fiction,can still raise serious concerns.It’s genuinely concerning that some teenagers ...... 1 reply
Right?!!? Like I always gets annoyed when somebody says "it's just a drawing, it's not that deep", IT IS THAT DEEP. Reading shotacon or lolicon (derived from CP) should be talked about and be judged, yeah its pen and paper, but somebody had desire to children so much that they drew that and read it. It is good that they only shows their desire by r...... 2 reply
Hmmmm
I don’t care about policing and what genres other people read, but I do think it’s funny when they are hypocrites. Do you remember in Dawn of the Dragon, where the dragon remembers his past life but it’s him being raised by the MC? Yeah l remember mgg exploding with people fighting over how it’s groomer behavior, the trope is weird et...... 1 reply
no writing is 'neutral' as much as academia wants you to believe, not talking about politically charged news articles but leisure, past-time and entertaining stories. colorism, colonialism, classism, ableism, and discourse on gender.
the writers, the readers, all are coming from a notion and our shared perception of reality.
as much as crafting i...... 1 reply
any form of media can be and will be criticize and bl/yaoi like hetromance have to be criticized for their portrayal abt certain things especially taboo stuff. cuz frankly I agree the amount of rape/dubcon in them are egregious.
but we can do that without turning it into moral policing. people are not morally gray just because they read and like ...... 1 reply
While it's a valid take, KS and love or hate should not be in the same category as the other BLs you mentioned. You are mixing two different things. First of all, minors are not the demography of this kind of content. If they are here, they are here at their own risk. There are dark themed BLs out there, like KS that are well written and any mature...... 1 reply
