Yeah but there's Yaoi's out there that don't involve pedophilia
That's not a good thing lmao. Yaoi genre is fetishsizing gay men having sex regardless. The point I'm making is that if readers are going to whine about teacher/student relationships when it's been a thing since old BL was around, then they should be complaining about the Yaoi genre in general. Cherry picking what is right from wrong is just hypocritical.
I for one, do not care cause when I'm reading fiction. Age gaps? Teacher and student relationships? Who cares, it's fiction. I'm not going to consume manga if it's going to change my moral values.
How does this story not change your moral values, it's disgusting, the black hair dude is going out with a 15 year old, he basically groomed him, shouldn't you try not to normalize. I would understand if this was in college or if he was at least 18 but he's not it's disgusting and yeah I understand the yaoi fetish and it's not a good thing but this is worse
Easy, because it doesn't. Fiction is fiction. The definition of it is literally "a piece comprising works of imaginative narration, especially in prose form."
If readers are getting life advice from a Yaoi of all things, maybe they shouldn't read it in the first place. Also just because the author is writing a teacher/student relationship doesn't mean they are normalizing pedophilia.
If someone is watching a movie with a murderer in it and they straight up kill someone the next day then is it the directors fault? No, it's the person who did the crime.
Fiction is a means of exploration. The point of media literacy is to be able to identify, when fiction is being used as a tool and exploring our humanity through art and when it’s actually an advertisement for something terrible. The onus of learning to separate fiction from reality does not fall on the fiction itself. It falls on the consumer/reader.
If readers can't depict between what's right or wrong, that's on them.
Yeah but unfortunately if those people see that people are okay with this then those people will do those crime like the people with the underage body pillow, they see people agreeing with them like this an they commit the crimes which will sa a child, talking to minors or having cp how is that not bad?
You do realize the audience Yaoi is directed to, right? Minors less not teens old enough to understand fiction is not equivalent to reality shouldn't be reading this.
Can't stop laughing at everyone complaining about the age gap like they've never seen a piece of media where teacher/student relationships happen in their life. You're reading Yaoi, a genre that fetishsizes gay men having sex of all things.
