It's not just a simple genre tho... its a depiction of something very real and has been done in a very distasteful way in my opinion. I just think it's a little odd people enjoy literal torture that's shown in a very gruesome manor, like in this manhwa. BDSM is fine, i can understand that, but that genre refers to two consenting parties partaking in consensual acts. That's what I was hoping for when I clicked onto this to read it.
It's more like I've walked into a bakery, saw a cheese cake and expected it to taste like one, when it really had no substance to it and was in fact a cake like all the rest of the ones on the shelves.
Rape is bad. I just wish authors would show that when it's such a prevalent issue that affects a lot of people (especially in Korea). Reducing torture n rape to "just a porn genre" is kinda crazy and very out of touch methinks.
(Also they rlly should think of the ramifications of depicting gay men as deprived sexual deviants who just want to rape straight men...jus sayin)
Bro stop being a moral police, you know some ppl read dark fiction as a coping mechanism and some just read it cause why not. No one needs a reason to read or not to read. Like what happened to don’t like don’t read, you’re not better than anyone because you read a graphic hardcore porn comic and are shocked it’s graphic hardcore porn. This isn’t Twitter bro no one cares what you like or what you read in a porn site,
Like I said the cheesecake looks like a cheese cake and the description also says it’s a cheese cake, you take a small bite? Cheese cake. So why are you complaining
They get defensive cause' they dislike to have to justify why they can read N enjoy such content, because they know it's shameful. Nobody wants to be lectured/judged nowadays, we're living in such society today. A corrupted, rotting society. That's why also nobody cares about what others do for the simple reason that no one listens.
We're seeing teen girls of 14 twerking on Tik Tok, then as soon as they reach 18, get on OF 'to get their bag' (millions/per month). Last week we got Lily Phil., an OF 'model' who decided they'll 'break the record' of sleeping with 1000 dudes in 24h, after she did it with 100. I'm pretty sure public outrage will do nothing, but worse, other girls will surely try to break her 'record'.
Such fiction, that is allowed and can be appreciated, is simply one of the symptômes of a deeply sick, renoncing society.
To reply to your question, these readers and amators of contents like this can be anybody, and that's the problem today with internet.
Personally I'm rather 'admirable' about how they can cope with the brutality displayed, the degrading treatment of the bodies they see, of their own mind... I can't, for my part.
I like beautiful art, and this kind of art sucks me in because it's aesthetically pleasing, but even so... no, thank you.
We're not obligated to consume everything because it's yaoi. People don't want to be judged for their actions and less again for the porn they watch, but once you do, consume something, they're parts of you. They are... you. They reflect your morals. This is where you stand as a human being.
So sure, you won't kill people, you won't rape, you won't bully because you like a particular content... But such content NUMB our senses to accept the unacceptable and to tolerate the inhumane as ordinary. It corrupts our mind and soul, more than we think
I like the art, faces and anatomies are perfectly drawn and proportionate (minus the difference in size that makes the grey hair guy looks like a titan compared to blond bottom...), the action scenes are really nice and dynamic... It has good potential if it was not wasted on mindless porn. But the reste is just gross. The dick of greyhairguy is horrendously huge, that's painful to watch. Bottom guy will end up in pieces. How on Earth can we like that, if not because we have some weird 'kinks'? The size difference makes the S scenes even more unbearable to watch
a lot of korean authors seem to be unable to write a good story with a good plot that doesn't involve rape lol... so fuckin weird
the way the bottom was made to look like he was enjoying it was truely smth else cos thats a real thing people say to rape victims in defence of the rape. "you probably liked it", "you wanted it" etc. n its so gross to see that shit still perpetuated in BL. I understand that it's fiction, but rape is a real thing that happens to real people. The depiction of such a gruesome and horrific act as smth hot and sexy is crazy and will have actual consequences in the long run when people become so desensitised to it.
Weird way to depict the gay community as well when a lot of, maybe even majority, of these authors are women who aren't even a part of the community.
the art's good tho LOL
