Smut isn't meant to be Enjoyed though It means the story contains S*xual Content
But pointing the Authors are something specifically BL Authors as they are not the only ones that creates Stories with r*pe (I mean use more General Term like "Authors")
R*pe are commonly seen on Smuts(Stories with s*xual Content) actually (Or it's just me)
These story is Psychological Thriller so expect more and more Suffering and Trauma.
If you ask me (Just in case)
I like this story, More and More Trauma, cuz for me sometimes , I get bored or Just got immune with toxicity
you can tell by the way the smut is portrayed that its meant to be enjoyed. its common in BL. its supposed to be "hot"
But the Smut itself means that the Material contains S*xual Stuff.
It's on the reader to judge if it is "Hot" or not
Some of the readers consider one thing as "Hot" some don't
im not gonna argue anymore but its very clear by the framing and tone, media literacy is important.
It's not really the creator of the manwhas fault they are just basing it off the original novel. I also think that the r@pe in there isn't really meant to be enjoyed it just adds to the character of the guide.
I don’t think this particular series framed the guiding sessions which were basically r@pe as enjoyable smut. What are you saying?
It’s there bc people enjoy reading it- it’s what draws in the readers, it’s not just some random shit they put in the story with no meaning behind it
oh yeah i know, though the author likely enjoys that content too if theyre okay creating it. its sad really. cuz like ive said, there are absolutely ways of depicting r*pe in a respectful way that isnt p*rn essentially. or just making a mc who likes sex who isnt depicted as a "whore"
it totally was... ppl in the comments saying it was hot and a "4p" when it was gang r*pe. the authors know who theyre appealing to. many other webtoons have depicted r*pe in more respectful ways, ie not having it be gratitous and graphic, framing it differently, etc. its a delicate subject
The usual way of fetishized r@pe is when the bottom hates it AND then eventually likes the sex, somehow forgetting that he was being r@ped. In this series, the bottom never liked it, it’s a horrible experience before, during and after.
If readers find this hot, then that’s their problem. Being tagged as smut, meaning showing graphic sex does not automatically mean normalizing and fetishizing r@pe. It just means it’s not censored or R18 vs non-smut which shows nothing at all. Under smut, there’s also censored or uncensored version for penises.
Enjoying the scene is personal from one reader to another but it’s different how the author portrayed it. Reading so many titles over the years, shitty and good ones, I can tell the author didn’t portray the sessions as normalizing or fetishizing r@pe. It was horrible for the bottom before during and after. Bottom looks gaunt and traumatized after the guiding sessions. If it the author meant it as an enjoyable one, then the bottom should enjoy the sex eventually and act satisfied/blushing or something after sex.
I agree I agree. Just because it's a fictional book and smut or whatever doesn't always mean that the stories should be all sunshines and rainbows. Lots of stories is actually a mirror of what actually happens irl, it just shows how toxic this world is. The author writing psychological stuffs like this doesn't automatically mean that they're into r@pe kink.
Yeah. Although the author is going for the romantic route for the two main characters, I gotta give it to the author for not changing what the guiding sessions are. They are horrible for the guide through and through. The two main characters will seem to develop some trust or dependency as they need and care for each other. Eventually love each other but definitely not in the most romantic way other readers would expect.
yes, smut is graphic sex ment to be hot. not r*pe. thats more horror.
i mean the way its framed its very likely. media literacy.
r*pe should never be portrayed like this. it shouldnt be made to be smut. it numbs us to it.
Portrayed as what? As it is? Jeez.
If you don’t get or like what the author is doing then stop reading. It’s as simple as that.
im allowed to criticize. there are serious problems in the BL community that need to be talked about
no it shouldnt be so graphic. studies have shown graphic portrayal makes us numb and less empathetic to actual victims
im sticking around for the plot, but it feels really gross reading r*pe that is meant to be smut. its framed in a way that is supposed to be enjoyable to the reader but its really just brutal r*pe. i dont understand how BL authors can keep making this stuff, like do they not feel disgusted? cuz all i feel in those smut scenes is now awful and traumatized that poor guy must be, being assaulted by four men. could have easily writted a character who liked sex, or left out the graphic depictions of r*pe.
