This is becouse in cnc you have consent and roleplaying so there is fiction layer. But there, it is already fiction and consent is between author and reader, not necessary between characters, just like in roleplay fantasy. Some people find it disturbing anyway and i is ok, they need extra fiction layer and prefer when character are playing too and all is safe. It is my fav scenario becouse then u have kink and dbsm representation, everything is cute and healthy. But sometimes people want just this twisted, violent sexul horror fantasy and want it raw like this. Personally i prefer this where violence is bright and not dressed as romance as in somę other comics where toxic behaviours and possesivness are portrait as signs of true love. I find these more problematic than straight writen abuse where noone pretending that this is something diffrent than it is, rape.
Idk about you all. But as an grape child survivor and a hypersexual teen, I think I could be able to comment properly on this topic. And I also believe that people consider this more acceptable because of the Ml's looks.
While I do believe this is just a fucked up fantasy and doesn't really make you a SA supporter irl. It does raise the question on how people view SA.
For me I view SA as something vile and shouldn't be done to anyone. I became hypersexual and started to fantasized about getting sa'd By older men. It is a coping mechanism but rather an unhealthy one. I don't wanna kink shame cause I have it too, but also it's not just about the rape.
It's also how manwha authors think about their male characters who are victims. But they don't think they're victims.
In korea rape is defined as a penis entering a vagina non consensually. Meaning that male on male rape is not in census of 'rape'
All art is political, even if it's porn. If the ml was an ugly bastard, it would be considered as vile as other ugly bastard manwhas. But since this ml is conventionally attractive, the reader sees it as more acceptable.
And also pedophilia and grooming is present in this manwha. With how codename Anastasia is in the books, I believe this will be one of those manwhas who tries to make the rapist ml redeemable.
There's a line between CNC and noncon, in our eyes it maybe CNC, because we are the audiences. But it's still non-con.
Romanticised SA and non-romanticised SA are both bad, one is not better than the other.
And also THIS is ROMANTICISED SA. It's trying to find comfort in your groomer's son after the betrayal you felt. It's also short boy X older conventionally attractive big dick man.
For aslong as it's a sex fantasy ITS ALWAYS GOING TO BE ROMANTICISED. Not in a fluffy way, like making this type of assault less rapey than it actually is.
Thank y'all.
You have many good point here. Actually i didnt want to say it isnt problematic at all.
I readed that one of reason why yaoi is so popular among women and why it is so full of sexual abuse is becouse of coping with SA without feeling too much representation since character isn’t woman, and you have right about SA being view as less problematic and topic if it is about male victims, not only in Korea but in patriarchy generally? I am sorry I can’t put in words what I have at mind well enough because of English isn’t my first language, but I think we aren’t in opposition, there is just many plots here. Btw my partner who is anthropologist said once that classic fiction with forceful love interest exist in order to getting used to(taming?) female sexuality and male violence in our minds in interest of this system. I think we can have more extreme manifestation of it here too. Last, I am sorry about your experience, I hope I don’t trigger it much. Feel free with not responding if you feel like it.
Oh I’m fine with cnc stuff. But when it comes to straight up rape, torture and trauma I’m out. Then I see all these people simping over the rapist and it’s just weird ig. Maybe some people have goone through some crazy trauma and this stuff helps them by reading it (I have heard some people who do that) but again as someone who went through it I can’t read some BL the same because I know that awful physical pain.
This needs to be said and sorry if you get offended. We all know BL is known for SA and rape but people like to push it aside and not talk about it or sometimes not even count some BL as rape. But I have noticed some BL lately are really pushing it to the point it’s even showing blood (ex Corrosive). There are multiple reasons why people are angry with the BL and some of you people seem to can’t see why. But maybe this stuff doesn’t seem to phase y’all. Couple years ago when I would read BL that had some pretty bad SA in it and didn’t really think about it until one day it happened to me. Now I can’t even read this kind of BL without reliving that physical pain. But that being said this shit is awful and people seem to love rape somehow. I get some of yall might like “ consensual non-consensual” stuff but this is PURE rape and torture. I said what I said
