If you don’t find the grooming, rape and drugging within this story weird and gross. Please seek help yourself.
If you can't separate your reality from fiction, seek therapy. If you want to apply purity culture on fiction, again, seek therapy.
Don't worry about me, my therapists (yes, plural) already talked about it. I'm apparently mentally healthy enough to know where fiction ends and where reality starts.
You, on the other hand though (=・ω・=) Good luck.
I don’t need help differentiating reality and fiction. The fictional world of this story has laws, it has morals. Those laws and morals have similarities to our current real life ones. Demons, magic/chi or whatever actually existing in this story DOES NOT change that.
The MC showed that he knows rape is wrong, he knows that drugging people is wrong, he is aware that grooming is also wrong. Him choosing to push those morals of his aside because of his insane affection and dependence towards his master is a completely different issue. This is not a story in which THOSE TOPICS do not exist, this is not a story in which they are viewed positively. Stop acting like all the characters within the story are unaware of their actions or the moral implications that revolve around them.
Fictional material made for viewing, stories that were created for an audience will be reviewed and criticized. This story contains depictions of rape, grooming, drugging, murder and so forth. Just because the story is fictional, just because the characters are fictional, DOES NOT MEAN these topics are not shown or demonstrated.
This story is fictional yes, it is not based on true events, the characters do not exist but that doesn’t change the fact that WITHIN the story they dealt with a lot. People can and have the right to feel uncomfortable with what the characters went through. They can also hate a character for their absurd or vile actions.
Fiction is fiction. Stop applying purity culture in it. You say you have no trouble separating reality from fiction but you want to apply morality on fiction?
Do you understand why it's called fiction and not true to life or based on true events? People use fiction to escape, to cope, to vent, to express in an environment that they can control. Fictional characters don't need you to defend them or advocate for them, they aren't real. Get it in your head. They AREN'T real.
If you feel the need to advocate for victims, do it in real life. Actually stop reading fiction you don't like and volunteer or help out in shelter or something.
You can be uncomfortable with certain fictional works, for sure, that just means you aren't the audience for it. In which case YOU STOP consuming it and then look for something that suits your preferences.
It’s mind boggling for you to basically be admitting that the subject matters pertaining to this story that most normal individuals would dislike and find uncomfortable fall within your scope of preferences.
Truly makes sense that you see multiple therapists for your mental issues.
How hypocritical that you claim to care about the victims, preaching purity and morality, and advocating for rights of fictional characters, while simultaneously insulting real people who might be in therapy for reasons like trauma, violence, etc. (=・ω・=)
It's like saying that you care more about the fictional experience of 2d drawings than the mental health of actual real human victims. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
I’m not saying I care about those circumstances, to care is to show concern or interest. Which I don’t have towards fictional characters, what I do have is the mental capacity to read/view a story and comprehend what is being presented in it.
I understand why people can get uncomfortable with these stories. I understand why an individual may not like this kind of story, why they may hate or rate it poorly.
But you, you seem incapable of even accepting that a story can contain the prior themes/topics I mentioned SOLELY because it’s fictional, which is absolutely ludicrous.
And what I have is the mental capacity to understand that this content is fictional and should absolutely not be done in real life, but consuming it in a fictional setting where no real person is involved.
And it's okay for me to look away and move to something that I like instead of vilifing the target consumers of content that makes me uncomfortable.
So just move on to something else.
Fiction does not and does not need to follow the values of the real world. If you can't separate fiction from reality, stop reading and seek therapy. If your reality is shaped by fiction, be very worried.
