Hm well I like mangas like this for some reason, especially since this one is pure and cute (to me). I mostly read normal yaoi/shounen ai but I also need unusual and dark ones from time to time, just for a change. But I don't support pedophillia in real life, I even almost cry when I think about the kids who get molested by older people ..that's really scary and sad
Did the boy get molested in the story?
Noo not at all! An adult guy said he'll wait until the boy grows up and the story is so pure later!
I actually used to think like this and now my views are lot more laxed but doesn't mean that I support any heinous acts irl. I think some terrible acts are normalized like murder, rape, etc... so when people go to watch shit like that doesn't mean they would do it its just fiction lol and the same could be said for genres like this. BUT I won't say that it doesn't have an influence on people sometimes. ESP kids so like all sensitive material they shouldn't be engaged in media like that. Some people think it would be bad ass to kill other people like a super villian but would never be able to deal with the ramifications/consequences of what it means to do that. I think same could be true with all forms of media/fantasy. However, I think MOST don't even fantasize about it at all. They just see a piece of fiction and understand its just that.
Well people who actually do this things are psychopaths and sociopath most of the time there's something wrong with their heads! So like after reading this and you'd think of doing that, you know there's something wrong with you!
Ummm.. No I don't think of doing any of the things I wrote in my comment. When I said "I used to think like this but my views a lot more lax" I was referring to similar to the original posters thoughts as in the "I just don't get it." I am amazed that's what you took from my comment but ok lmao
I think they meant a general 'you'
Like 'you know you're like this if you xxx'
Thanks for explaining guys, makes more sense now although I guess I still feel iffy about it personally.
I hope so lol cause I would be really offended since thats a complete mischaracterization
Ah yeah totally. Btw thanks for your opinion. Appreciate it - always hard to know the 'line' in fiction ig and it's like you said, some stuff do influence people but not always.
No problem! Thats why I have mixed feelings about it personally because of the potential influence it may have on those small minority of people that can't distinguish the line between reality and fiction ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Look, I know 'fiction is fiction' but I still cannot get shotacon/similar stuff. If you do, please tell me why. Like, I get that there is fantasy etc, even fantasy of being r@ped (NOT fantasy of r@ping someone) makes more sense in my head, cos we def have some fucked up fantasies sometimes and it's understandable if it's about something done to us. But anything that we do to someone else (includes pedophilia, etc) I just don't get.
