Years of reading may have contributed as to why I myself do not look for consent anymore in specific books, but I only do this depending on the character and genre I’m reading. Great example would be Jaekyung from Jinx, and genres like psychological and horror BLs—I do not expect consent in these. I do expect consent in vanilla romance BLs, but tbh it really depends on how characters and plot are built by the author whether or not I will expect a consent, and how I will consume and process the material.
Ok so I read lot of stuff. Been reading lot of stuff online since a while (like years) so tell me one thing. Is it normal to look for consent in a p*rn manga? When you genuinely know getting into their pants was why this manga was created. Is it normal to relate real life things which fictional characters? I've never done that. I've drawn a clear line between reality and fiction. And it seems ppl (unsupervised children on Internet) hate me for that. I'm not saying getting invested into a fic character is bad. But I'm saying that thinking of every character as real doesn't sit right with me. I've read manga with such disturbing plot and if I think of characters as real, I know I won't get any sleep and will probably lose my mind. So tell me one thing, is it normal to look for consent on every manga? Even those smutty ones which never had consent before. I respect rights but sorry I keep fictional things fictional.
I genuinely want to know if I'm wrong for thinking this way and pls do explain your reason for calling me right or wrong.
Have a nice day :)
