Why do authors ruin a green flag by adding rape or noncon to the story?

Bedazzle bitch September 9, 2023 12:28 pm

A genuine question bc I just don't understand. Like what is the reason? Is it for angst, drama? I truly don't get it.

Edit: I don't mind toxicity but there's a level to this. I don't like unequal relationships. If the ML is a piece of shit, I want the MC to be equally as bad or worse. Tats for tats, you feel me? If the ML is on demon time, why is MC out here being mother Teresa of suffering? This is not suffering Olympics. Get your lick back!

    How so? Most of the time, they don't acknowledge or address the severity of it. They just sweep it under the rug like the person who's supposed to love you and cherish you just violate your trust and body in the most asinine way.

    after a while the authors dont got shit to do bc its the same thing being all fluffy and light, so in order to bring popularity or more interest to it, they introduce THAT shit for plot and then fuck up the whole story, its the new thing nowadays

    Ahhh, I see what you mean. I wish it wasn't a trend because so many stories had so much potential to be ruined just like that

    Tbh, Green flags get quite boring.
    You barely get any character development from fluffy and the stories just feel as if they’re dragging. Cherry Blossoms After Winter is an example of this. I do love it but it could’ve ended less than 2 seasons ago.

    Toxicity makes things more entertaining

    But there's no many ways to toxic without being a grapist I enjoy a complex story with some good toxicity but rape just put a bad taste in my mouth

    I genuinely wish I knew the answer, it’s why I’ll never pay $$ before reading BLs, most of the time they do a complete 180

    Green flags aren’t boring. You’re just into toxic shit..

    yeah, i agree - many had a lot of potential as you said but it also depends on the viewers, sometimes readers would msg the authors to add a bit more UMPH to it thus creating the toxicity, its what gets it fame i guess, green flags do get boring after some time since its the same shit everyday, but of course adding toxicity is fine to an extent just not rape or sm shit since that completely ruins it, to make it interesting you could make one of the characters possessive at the very least or sm shit but adding rape isnt justified at all imo

    I'm the opposite (⊙…⊙ ) Reading stories w/ green flags or at least decent characters feels like a breathe of fresh air imo. I'd assume you only read manhwas from the "it feels as if they're dragging", since most of most of them tends to have a lot of chapters.
    There are plenty of mangas that are interesting and isnt toxic, and they dont contain that much chapters, you'd feel like it's not enough. (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜 Anyway, at the end of the day it all comes down to preferences, so you do you

    Most stories are about conflict. There's man vs man, man vs nature, man vs himself, man vs society, man vs the supernatural and man vs technology. So, for manga about relationships (especially the sex-driven ones), you'll see conflict (most often) between the mcs and there's always some degree of imbalance of power involved. Red-flag characters are often born from this type of story and they create a lot of drama, which many people enjoy.

    Tl;dr - Because it sells better :P
