what does non sexual non con mean lmfaooo

tofu June 5, 2023 11:46 am

It's as it says! Non consensual but not in sexual way, or forcing someone to do something with no relation to sex whatsoever. The term "non-con" is associated with "rape" afterall, and i didnt want people to misunderstand.

Hey, I've been on here for ~5 years. I have some recommendations. Lemme know if you want some. You can also check my list if u want

some of the 'age gap' tags are just a way to soften the blow to practically pedophilia, whats the point of no rape if theres a romantic relationship with a minor

tofu May 19, 2023 1:05 pm

Can you point out which manga is it? I'll delete it if there's a relationship between a minor and an adult. Thanks!

The fact that a [no rape between mcs] category is needed clearly shows an issue with how homosexual relations are portrayed..

tofu May 19, 2023 1:14 pm

I think theres a balance in this. Stories with topics like rape are sometimes important--not because of the rape itself but how it is handled. I do not condone romantic relationship between a rapist and their victim. But sometimes good stories that depict healthy relationship DO have rape scenes in them. Hence, the [no rape between MCs] title. Because i want people to be warned that yes, this list does have manga with rape scenes, but not between the MCs, and the rape act is never fetishized or romanticized. It is treated like the crime that it is. If you find mangas in this list that romanticize rape, please tell me so i can remove them.

Official Professor Gaylord!!!! June 4, 2023 10:45 am

There's the same amount if not ore rape/abuse in heterosexual romance stories, there's just more heterosexual stories in general meaning that there are also more healthy ones. The romance industry in general has a huge problem with the portrayal and normalization of abusive or toxic relationships. Also, no rape between MCs doesn't mean anything as to how homosexual relations are portrayed because what that means is that the rape is probably used as a plot device to one of the character's trauma or an explanation to their attitude/behavior. It's not romanticizing/fetishizing/normalizing rape, it's actually doing the opposite typically showing the (negative) effect it had on the character. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
