Do you guys think the stories you read have affected the way you approach relationships?
Whenever there is rape or sa in a comic, a decent amount of readers gloss over it just because it's fictional and don't actually support rape or whatever. But like if you read a lot of comics, especially if you began at a young age, wouldn't it affect your thinking in someway. So much rape, assault, and abuse is romanticized in a lot of comics that it definitely reaches more vulnerable people. For example, me. When I was about 11 or 12, i read a lot of manhuas on webcomics. Most of these manhuas however featured implied abuse and rape that I thought was okay because he loved her or whatever( i.e: embrace your shadow(?)). I even wanted to be in a relationship with a "bad boy" type. I've never really been in a relationship, but I was sa'd as a kid(like 7) and I thought I was a bad person because of that(belived my period was a punishment from god). I had weird relationships with some guys growing up and just accepted it, but now I've definitely changed the way I approach potential romantic relationships. Now as a more mature teenager, I feel disgusted to even read—or watch—things like that. Whenever a main lover interest rapes or abuses i character i sort of lose interest(that one comic with zhenya-forgot the name). This doesn't happen with every comic cuz I still try to give the author a chance to redeem a character. But as you get older and more developed, it becomes harder for people to truly change—especially without therapy.
