both. I am not trying to shame anyone's preferences, as I wrote in the description for part 1, some people are into most of these titles and some need to avoid them like the plague, I think both are valid. Personally, many titles on the list I really like and many I find very inadequately written and retraumatizing. I'm a survivor myself so I know how delicate of a line it is to walk when reading stuff like this.
Tysm!!
wait I just read the sentence again and I'd just like to state that hopefully there is no such thing as a "pro-rape" list anywhere ever and when I said both I meant that I do not shame these manga for existing, but neither do I advocate for them by default.
Manga that get rapey or have weirdly dubious consent are not the same as someone advocating actual real life rape, just like how violent gangster films do not advocate for organized crime violence. We are all social bi-products and we tend to fantasize or imagine scenarios that irl would be unhealthy or traumatic. If I criticize the manga in this list it's not because I'd think they are "pro-rape" (and I'd like to think that would be an absurd stance to have) it's because the story and (dubious) smut is not well executed, either from a moral or a skill standpoint.
Think of manga and smutty novels that have non consensual scenarios as people roleplaying a kinky scene but without the extra layer of them sitting down and discussing safewords, likes and boundaries, because there are no real people involved who could be hurt (well, except the readers if the manga is bad lol)
Is this an anti or pro r*pe list? If it is an anti list. I’ll follow because I feel the exact same. It’s so annoying watching SA get romanticized over and over. As a trauma victim it makes it so difficult to enjoy stories without getting upset or flashbacks etc. when there’s no warning especially. Makes me feel all sick
