Manga tags that scares me...
Since I am "new' to reading manga in general, and completely new to the whole community here, I have found myself diving headfirst into the story tags, list tags, and browsing through genres and user lists.
And if we discard the fact that it is pretty easy to "misplace" a tag or a story so it appears even after deletion, then I honestly feel like the tags and lists are one of my most loved features. I just love them...
But I also feel myself inch towards caution when I see a tag I either don't know, or if it's one I don't particularly care for.
Like... Stories with rape fantasies are everywhere. I am not judging anyone for having that kind of fantasy, but it feels like the rape fantasy and actual assault often gets mixed in together in a way that makes the story go for 100 to 0 in a second for me.
Other tags I tend to avoid is all the 'verse' plots. I guess I just don't know what to expect.
In the past, I used to be a moderator/Ambassador on Wattpad, and the mpreg tag first appeared back then in 1D Fanfics. And, I guess I just didn't find one to read. That, and the whole 'alpha/beta/omega' thing sounds suspiciously like many of the werewolf fics I saw popping up back then too...
Then there is the whole, loser/pathetic/bullying/sadistic/evil tag sections. I don't know if I am just from the wrong generation, but those sounds really unpleasant
is that a culture thing I missed? Being mean and rapey is cool now?
I worry if it's just a translation thing. Like how 'fudanshi/fujoshi' technically means rotten boy/girl. Some things just don't translate well. Maybe it is because I am not a native English speaker.
At the same time, I worry that I might simply miss some of the peak stuff on here.
How do you guys tackle this?
