Y'all need to understand the difference between fiction and reality. Fiction is a form of escapism and fantasy, alot ALOT of people have rape kinks, doesn't mean they actually support rape, sometimes, they've even been victims themselves and are just trying to make sense of their own experience and their own trauma, everyone copes in a different way. . Kinks and fetishes can be explored with in a *consensual* relationship with a responsible adult. Fictional content mostly influences young people and sensitive people, a child will watch spiderman and go home and try to climb a wall, will an adult do the same? No, the adult knows it's just stupid fantasy. Adults are able to differentiate, just because some are not, and some turn out to be criminals, that doesn't mean all form of that particular genre is supposed to be removed, you cannot judge everyone based on the actions of a single person. . It is a good thing to have boundaries, but it's not a good thing to force your boundaries onto someone else, sexuality and sex as a whole is a very weird spectrum, everyone has preferences, tastes, just because it's not "moral" doesn't make it bad, there is a difference between consuming a piece of art and doing a crime which will actively hurt a real living being. It all comes down to whether or not a person understands consent, a basic part of sex that education system has failed in teaching us. You can explore any and all fetishes/kinks when your partner/partners and YOU are consenting adults. Forms of exploration that can be used? Cosplaying, BDSM, Scenes. Use of safe words, etc. . That is why, it is always suggested that do not read 18+ content when you are a minor, it will warp your mind, because you won't understand what's right and what's wrong, because a smut manga with rape is not always going to go indept on educating you, it's not meant for education in the first place, THE EDUCATION SYSTEM has failed us in educating people about rape, you cannot expect manga artists to be your sex educator. Keep boundaries for your preferences, don't force your boundaries on other people, when people do not have an outlet for exploration, they tend to act out and actually do crimes. We already have pedo priests as a proof of what happens when people try to keep sex under control.
*Little education on rape*
What counts as rape?
1. Non consensual sex. Of any form. To any living being. Is rape. 2. Having sex with a drunk person where consent is not clear. 3. Having sex despite a person saying 'No' or 'Stop' during sex, No is No, Stop is Stop. (Unless you have a safe word which is the real stop) 4. Having sex with a minor. Minor cannot consent. Minors are all persons under age 18, idc about state laws, ALL PEOPLE BELOW THE AGE OF 19 ARE IMMATURE and cannot understand/consent. I'd even say 18 is minor cause I was 18 and still dumb asf. 5. Even if victim has orgasm, it is still rape if they did not consent in the first place, people cannot help that the body feels stimulation. 6. Sex with legally married spouse without their consent is rape. 7. Having sex with sex worker without their consent is rape. (Add more in comments if you know)
