"its fine if its fiction"
its almost like every time i see a bl (its always bl) that has rape in it, a regular person would say smth like "why is there rape," "seme is a horrible person," someone will always reply and say "its just fiction." i need these people to realize the author thought this out, fantasized rape in their head, and decided that their character deserves to go through something like that. personally, i cant even make myself imagine someone getting raped let alone reading it and defending it. its just that horrible. i dont understand how people can genuinely look at a piece of fiction that contains the uke being kidnapped, confined, raped, abused, and think, "its fine because its not real." a VERY REAL person made it.
its very concerning when the author and the reader find rape satisfying or perfectly acceptable.
like how the fuck do they not feel guilty knowing they like noncon. inhumane really.
but yeah not a lot we can do because its like a huge trend. every popular yaoi has rape in it (around 95%). its everywhere. you have to actually DIG around to find som...... 4 reply

You guys are hilarious because you'll excuse any and all types of suffering except rape. I could write an entire torture session and it's fine, but rape? Nuh uh, no no, don't touch that bogeyman, that's too much.
And anyone claiming that's not true, there are like some thousands horror manga that is just torture porn. I never see any complaints.

I don't get why y'all bother at this point. You wouldn't understand the perspective of those "it's just fiction" reader nor would the "it's just fiction" readers understand your perspective. This argument will never end because both sides will never understand each sides and will continue to antagonize each other. This side will call the other side...... 1 reply
people enjoy all sorts of things in fiction because its a separate space from reality.
there is lots of violent content in fictional media and entertainment, from shooting games, to gore and horror, etc.
and then you have the dark fantasy genre of books and media with all the romanticized rape.

"it's fine because it's not real" is an overly reductive response to people having negative reactions to immorality in fiction that i also dislike. you see it somewhat less, but there's also the corollary of some people acting like it's outlandish and ridiculous to have an emotional or even intellectual response of any kind or with any intensity, p...... 2 reply
Sorry if this is long. I think it's pretty silly to just look at it in black or white. And idk if it seems like I'm just defending horrible BL's. But sharing my full opinions would take toooo long.
Tldr: I am a similar stance to OP's side, but I can also understand the other.
I for the most part understand this take. I have a similar stance on th...... 1 reply
To think “This person writes about fucked up shit, they must be a terrible person” is extremely narrow minded, black and white thinking. Obviously to say they’re completely detached would be disingenuous, but shying away from those things won’t make it happen any less. And acting like other people are crazy for thinking very human thoughts ...... reply
