Is no one bothered by rape in yaoi?
I love yaoi, okay? Don't get me wrong. But are you seriously okay with the uke falling in love with the rapist/predator/paedo seme? Whatever the reason maybe for the seme to do it but this really really bothers me becoz most of the time it's becoz the seme is afraid to confess or some bullshit. Is it really love if you rape them? Like what? I just want to know your opinion. Is it considered okay in japan? I mean there are 11-12 year old girls reading this shit. They are going to think rape is okay. OR even consider it a form of true love. Why no one says anything about it? Is everyone aware of this risk in japan? I mean in my country this would be banned lol.
It sure bothers me. Rape is a serious matter but there are people that really know what fiction and reality is. I hate it too that they're using rape in manga or anime because it's not something that u can just use is your story, art or manga. And about kids reading that kind of stuffs i think it really depends on the person. I'm just 15 yrs old an...... 1 reply
Of course I'm really bothered by it. Whether it happens to male or female, it's still RAPE, A VIOLENCE, SEXUAL HARASSMENT. Still, what's unacceptable is the doing itself, not the story-line or the author's idea. However, yes, it does make me concerned that many under-aged readers are able to access mangas with such content much easier these days. A...... reply
first of all, 11-12 y/o girls (or boys) shouldn't be reading hard yaoi to begin with. technically no minor should read it because it's 18+ for a reason, but i'm barely below 18 so i won't say that. second of all, it's a matter of a person's ability to separate fiction from real life. if someone lacks the ability to realise that things that take pla...... 1 reply
It really bothers me a lot but the whole concept of uke/seme bothers me as well. The uke and seme was something invented by a woman for her yaoi fic and years later people still use it to make gay relationships heteronormative by giving the duo in a relationship feminine and masculine tropes and devide them by uke and seme...
Also, I hate the rap...... 1 reply
I personally don't like it most of the time, but it also depends on the atmosphere and stuff. I hate the typical "I raped you because I love you and couldn't hold back" (dumb as shit), but I don't really mind it when it's done in a way where it isn't really excused or when it's just aware how fucked up it is. It really depends on the manga but I al...... reply
I could care less about rape in yaoi, in fact, I'm into that in real life, so sometimes it plays into my fetish, and becomes a turn on.
before I say my personal opinion on the whole subject, I'd like to address the question's laughable segment of "12 year olds are reading this shit, they will think rape is ok why is this not banned like how it wou...... 1 reply
I really dislike it as a plot device where the love interest rapes the person they love like pal, if you're raping them I highly doubt you love them in a healthy way. If they really loved them they should want them to be happy and never come to harm. Especially hate those one's were they're against it, start being raped, and then like it ??? like a...... 1 reply
I think anyone who has read yaoi is bothered by it. The problem is rape is used as a plot point in yaoi... so after reading about 10 yaoi titles with rape as a means of showing love - the reader is desensitized.
We cannot entirely blame the mangakas. Most of them are women and could possibly have never really met a same sex couple irl. The probl...... reply
