Woke people Rant

Heehee August 23, 2024 5:33 pm

I've seen some nice old mangas being flooded with more recent 'woke' comments.
"I've read this entire thing and the author is disgusting and all the characters were raped the author is sick in the mind and no one should read this."
I get it, some stuff is horrible but let's say, killing stalking - it's a great work.
Would you turn into a trigger happy serial killer by playing video games like COD? I think not.
It's tanked the ratings for a couple of old mangas that apparently aren't PC enough.
Just shut the fuck up and let me enjoy my sick gay porn in peace.
Rant over.

    I agree that some of them r being unfairly criticised bc ppl lack media literacy but let's be for real A LOT of them do deserve the criticism bc they depict things like rape which is then not condemned by the narative at all, e.g. Jinx (this isn't the only one obvi but it's v well known atp so it's a good example) at which point they r normalising these things. Also ur COD argument is a logical fallacy bc most ppl talking abt the effects of reading these types of stories on rl aren't talking abt such an extreme result so ur making a false equivalence. To explain this in good faith, let's say ur rlly young as a lot of ppl getting into yaoi r (or someone older that this applies to) and so u don't have the best understanding of consent. Reading smth w non-con that isn't outright one of them saying "no" and the other doing it anyway may therefore skew their understanding of consent which would then carry on into rl. Or u read yaoi w "milder" cases of non-con/dub-con which as someone w a good understanding of consent would be clear immediately but then u read more extreme yaois which cause u to think that the ones u were reading before aren't actually that bad, therefore normalising the "milder" cases in ur mind. I mostly used SA as an example but this also applies to abuse and other such themes. As a result, the criticisms of these types of stories are 100% justified imo but if u wanna read them no one's stopping u. Just scroll past the criticisms the way ppl w ur mindset say to stop reading it if it bothers u ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍ (sorry for the rant but imo this type of mindset can be damaging)

    nah I kind of get it, i'm just kinda
    upset that some would immediately deny a good work (great plot) because it contains unsanitary themes.
    It's just also sad because I like to see comment sections discussing stupid details of the plot instead of seeing this is rape every 2 comments.
    Not that it isn't, but I think it should be logical that separating fiction and reality is a given.
    That's the point of a rant nothing wrong with what you said.

    Ah nah dude i get it as i said I def agree w u when it comes to some stories (i also like killing stalking like u mentioned bc it does a rlly good job of portraying abuse), i was just also a bit fed up bc I keep seeing brain-dead takes on stories where the writing is ass. Also thx for actually reading what i said instead of replying smth like "nobody's gonna read smth that long" lmao

    I was surprised you took the time to write something so long, if you reciprocated my rant then I'd do the same ;)

    This was the nicest discussion i've seen on here yet, very demure, kind and straight to the point.

    Fr, whenever I try to converse with someone about topics like this they always say “learn to separate fiction from reality” or “I ain’t reading all that” or just some annoying comment

    Hahaha People forget to treat discussions humanely because of the invisible internet wall and just want to use anything as fuel to get THEIR point across.
    I try to not forget that because no there would be no progress either side.
    Oftentimes it might be the case that both agree but because it's worded harshly or differently both misunderstand.
    Have a great day guys (=・ω・=)
