let me go batshit for a moment here:
IM SICK OF IT. IM SICK OF THIS RAPE FETISH TREND THAT'S RISEN IN MANHWAS RECENTLY. WHERE'S ALL THE GOOD SHIT AT????
honestly it 100% is that serious
thank you for validating my anger. because im honestly so sick of this bs. i gotta take a deep breath everytime it happens and click out the story.
Yeah I’m just not into it anymore, super disappointed cuz I liked how it started and I liked the character designs
while I agree with the sentiment I would like to point out that this is NOT new, coercion/rape has basically been the industry standard since the first gay comics hit the shelves. if you go and sort by date, honestly, the early 2000's stuff is just as bad if not worse. unfortunately I have no wise and loving advice to bestow other than look harder
can't fucking have a single goddamn story with nonconsensual bullshit (aka RAPE) with the victim repeatedly staying STOP. it's not that serious, but im going to pop a fucking blood vessel reading these bl mannhwas and their twisted obsession with using rape as a plot device for shallow drama.
there are plenty of other situations that could be used, that have an even greater potential for drama, but i guess they just have a target audience with this crap– and their own indulgence to fulfill.
again, not my story, so technically i don't have the right to criticise, so take my words with a grain of fucking salt. i need to read shounen ai after this...
