A lot of people are commenting on the r@pe in this manga for good reason, it’s weird and the author romanticizes it
All yaoi works use the romantic plot. They are supposed to be romantic. It's the whole point of the genre. It would be impossible to use the Romance plot and not create romance using elements within the structure. You can't violate the plot just because you aren't mature enough to handle rape as a writer's device to consolidate their plot. That's entirely unreasonable to the point of absurdity. Readers who don't have the intelligence and sophistication to read these stories with getting emotional aren't mature enough for the yaoi genre.
If you need rape to pull the romance elements in your manga together, you just don't know how to write good stories with a good plot and good characters. That's that. Rape is unnecessary when you aim for romance and when you advertise your manga as a romance and it's filled to the brim with rape, it defeats the whole purpose of the manga being romance because rape isn't romantic in the first place. If you aim for a thriller, horror, drama genre without having a romance aspect, maybe rape could work whithin certain settings. But this is just distasteful.
oh i see. so Anais Nin, Henry Miller, Nabakov, so many more.... just don't know how to write good stories with a good plot and good characters? That's the stupidest post of the day .... or it would be if I hadn't already seen this same dimwit uneducated utter nonsense 3 other times today.
don't insult my intelligence with this sh.t
If you read correctly what I said, you would have known that if you NEED rape to pull your story together. If good author can write both good stories with and without rape, that's not the same. Learn how to read.
Who is insulting your intelligence? I'm not the one throwing a fit because someone said that if you cannot pull the romance aspect of your manga without rape at all you just don't know how to write a good plot and characters. Take the rape out of this story and tell me, would the story still be "good" in your standards? Probably not. It would feel like a wet piece of bred. Now with the rape, this manga just feels like moist bread because the writing isn't good either.
that's the author's decision. not yours. not mine
throwing a fit. lol as if you had that kind of power
Authors aren't free of criticism and if people are displeased with a story they have every rights to voice it. If they had put more time into building an actual story and develop their characters rather than putting time and effort on rape, it would have been beneficial to the story overall and it would of had alot more backbone than it does.
you talk like you think your criticism matters. I think that your hyperfocus on rape to the point of mental illness makes you yet another victim of the mass hysteria of the snowrape generation.
w----would have not would of
like, an entire age group of frigid bltches
Looking through your profile, I wonder who really has a hyperfixation on rape between the 2 of us. Even if it doesn't matter, does it mean people cannot discuss it? No, they ABSOLUTELY can. Comment sections are there for a reason, it's there to voice your opinion. That's how the site works. I won't be sorry for voicing mine just because you don't accept people saying that romanticizing rape is kinda gross. If that makes me frigid, I don't care at all, I'm very much capable of reading mangas with rape in it, doesn't mean I agree with the overusage of the rape trope and doesn't mean I can't dislike it either. You sound like a very sad person deprived of actual human interaction and it shows. Duces
you just don't get it. you don't get a say in whether rape is used in anything, and "romanticied" is the dumbest of irrelevant ideas. oh thank you for feeling sorry for me, you are so sweet.
don't care about rape. not a woman. not fixated. not anything for me to be all scared of. sympathetic to women for having to deal with the issue, though.
can't even walk to your car in a parking lot. really really sucks. unfair
this, rude immature habit "learn to read" "are you stupid'
There you are!!!! I found you
Ok bae let’s start here, rape isn’t romantic. Period. Yes, authors can include rape in their stories to add trauma to character and aid their character development but rape is not suppose to be something that makes people fall in love. In this manga, and many other yaois they romanticize rape all the time and the community is calling them out on it bc it’s sick and harmful. What is wrong with you, you are going to hell and back defending this “rape is romance” concept u seem to be promoting
*without
If you can't separate unreasonable irrational thought from actions, you're no help to society, rape victims, courts of law, and you certainly aren't able to validly critique this work. If all you've got is "It has rape. ewww" then consider it already said by others and kindly refrain from adding to the hateful remarks here.
