!!! The fact that so many recent updates of mangas I’ve been reading are like this is so crazy, just disappointment after disappointment. Like damn I thot they could be different…
Riiight.. Like its so frustrating because it COULD be different. At the end of the day the authors are choosing to just throw in r_pe even though the story could easily progress without it.
Like consensual rough/"hate" sex is so hooooot and its a shame cus this story was really set up nicely to give us that and instead we got.... well this crap
Noooo..I was so in love with the main story Idk what others think but the main story is sooo my type..and then you see the sides..I was in for some rough sex but not fucking rape dude..it ruins the whole thing and then they go he's in mafia what do you expect..like fuck off guys...that's not an excuse anymore..there are many mafia stories out there and despite the ml being in mafia... he's respectful and he still acts like a mafia guy.. like seriously
I absolutely hate how today's BLs portray forceful sex and rape as "acceptable" simply because there are feelings involved between uke and seme!!!
I am so happy to see rational folks like you not justifying rape. Sehyuk has been shown to be a psychopath with self restrain and knows what consent is, until the author fucked him up by creating those rape scenes.
Some assholes under the comment section mocking the readers for being disappointed are rapist apologists with underlying issues.
*go re-read the webtoon* and *what did you expect* condescending comments.
Rough sex with consent exists
HEAVY EMPHASIS on the rapist apologists with underlying issues!!!
(thank you, you just reminded me of another point I was thinking of))
Like going out of their way to mock ppl voicing their frustration about these new chapters is just so weird?? I think it goes hand in hand with "Stan culture" in the sense that they refuse to acknowledge anything negative about a piece of media that they enjoy... so their willing to do backflips to arrive at a conclusion that suits their needs ie the "what did u expect" shit
(idk that's just the tip of the ice berg tho but something I was thinking about)
*also rapist apologists was spot on and will be the title of another post, thank you
Their stupid rhetoric is "you need to separate fiction from reality" as if we can't do that. I enjoy reading triggering and controversial contents, but most of us readers were disappointed because the author took a non-rapist Seme route until she proved us wrong in her shitty side stories. That's why readers are expressing their frustration.
Throughout the whole story, the Sehyuk had a sexual tension with Hamin but there was consent and Hamin himself played the cat-mouse game with boundaries. But the author ruined it to satisfy people with rape fetishes
You're welcome
Sidestory spoilers below:
Y'all really need to ask yourselves why you're so quick to rationalize rape.
"Why are you surprised ML was always like this" "Re-read the story what did you expect" ?????? brooo what.... YOU guys need to reread the story.
Yes Sehyuk was never a green flag & he does inappropriately make sexual advances on Hamin, the main story always had that borderline element.
!But this sidestory was downright out of character for both of them! !
Throughout the main story we see Hamin setting boundaries with Sehyuk and by the end we genuinely have progress. We see Sehyuk continuously tease & even get angry by Hamins actions yet we never see him outright rape hamin as punishment. So Why The F Would He Do So At The End Of All That Development???
Hamin was sickened by his crush trying to do exactly what the author just portrayed in the side story. EVEN SEHYUK CALLS OUT WHAT HAMIN'S CRUSH WAS GOING TO DO? So clearly both men know what constitutes as rape and Sehyuk sees how Hamin reacts to this. Sehyuk may push buttons, but not once in the story does he inflict intense violence onto Hamin.
TLDR:
Y'all really need to stop making excuses for the sake of enjoying a story. The truth is that these side stories included a problematic & Unnecessary trope that is all too common in bl. You can also acknowledge that you really enjoyed the characters and story before that. But don't just make excuses. You can like a story and STILL be disappointed/angry about something the author does & voice that frustration.
