I think you have a point about the popularity of some stories attracting criticism. For example, every time someone describes the seme in Ten Count as a monster, I sincerely wonder what their basis of comparison might be. But as a small aside, rape is rape, even when it is a metaphor. Rape is an objective definition (sex without consent) and not an opinion.There is no reason not to call rape what it is. It doesn't make the story bad.
there are a lot of storys like this which are WAYYY more fucked up than this, most of you people hate it and think its rape or twisted or what ever mainly because its popular, im sure youve read a story similar to this before and thought it was cute, but thats only becuase it wasent as popular as this and no one brought up the topic as rape for that story
take hidoku shinaide for example, its SO popular and everyone loves it so no one brings up the topic that the seme tecnicly blackmailed the uke into haveing sex with him, alot of people hate that type of scene, but because its so popular, no on ereally talks about it, its the same vice versa, they hate it becaue of the blackmail, but im sure they have alos read alot of storys with the samething, what im saying is most of the people here are just going along with the flow they see someone say its rape and automatially agee with them which makes a new viewer of the story reading the comments view the story differently as they read it there are way more fucked up shit, so dont go around saying that this was the most fucked up shit i have ever read becuase im sure if it is that will probably change soon, and saying all that crap about this book is not helping any one, some readers read the comments about the book before they read it if it keep saying rape this rape that it would make the reader think differenly as they read it you should let them have their own opinion of the story rather then them being influened by some one elses and it not up to you to decide weather this story is really rape or not, and if you guys really hate the story so much then why are you still hanging around?
