"The readers know it is there!" Not true, a lot of readers say there isnt rape.
"Rape exists in stories to make people AWARE that it does exist and happens in life." thats not necessarily true, especially not for jinx. Mingwa is well known for trivialising rape as she did in BJ alex. Some stories do add sexual violence to bring awareness to it but as you've said, in this case the sexual violence is nothing more than an accessory to the story.
"Wow, try to find common sense back. Look at the countless movies with rape in it. Tell me, do you think the producer/director supports the act so they made a movie out of it?" You'd be suprised actually, ever watched euphoria or the idol? Directors and producers are responsible for the message their work sends about sexual violence and as such, its reasonable to assume that the message they send with their work is something that aligns with their personal values and morals. Of course it has to be with sensibility that people assume this, making a story that has a perpatrator get away doesn't mean the director thinks its okay they get away. You have to look into where they placed the blame and if they made it clear that perpetrators getting away is not okay and while it does happen we need to change it. I got a bit off track there but you get what i mean .
I dont think that anybody is intentionally normalising rape other than maybe Mingwa and a SMALL SMALL portion of readers that i have yet to come across. So i do agree with you in a general sense about how people reading this is normalising or condoning rape. Anybody can read and enjoy a story without endorsing or pushing the narrative it has.
I’m actually baffled by the people bashing this because there’s rape and how it shouldn’t be normalized. NOBODY is normalizing rape. The readers know it is there! just because this is popular, it doesn’t mean that it’s immediately an ACCEPTED act. Wow, try to find common sense back. Look at the countless movies with rape in it. Tell me, do you think the producer/director supports the act so they made a movie out of it?
Rape exists in stories to make people AWARE that it does exist and happens in life. There’s nothing wrong with using the concept in stories or wanting to know how the characters go through with that. It’s basically why Jinx is popular because it has a unique way to go about it. It is a FICTIONAL READ, where the author has created an interesting plot to capture readers, rape is an accessory to the story. If you think that’s the main idea then go read a fluffy wholesome love story. Nobody is stopping you to read a story you accept but don’t go around with a hypocritical righteous view by telling readers that it’s weird to read this and how they support/defend the act. Unless, you’re just hating on it because it’s so popular so you try to call out ur view of its flaws, lol typical. You’re basically just making it more popular or deep down too shy to admit that you like it.
