I don't care if someone doesn't ship it or hates SH, but a lot of these people are making people who do into something else. 'oh you like rape manga, you must also support it in real life', 'everyone who ships NKxSH is sick' and yeah there are also kink shamers.
These aren't going after the story or a character, but the readers. And I'll fight back because they are in the wrong. As I said, I don't give a shit if you hate SH or rape, but I'm not staying put if you go against the readers.
I literally said I don't care what you think of the story or SH. But I will defend myself and my fellow mates, because people who call us names are literally worse than SH himself. The worst kind being the ones who send death threats to translators and authors, those are a certain kind.
Ask those people how they'll feel about real people getting raped and you might see a surprising answer. Some people adore murder, gore and slasher films, do they also need to feel morally guilty for liking these? I don't have a 'rape kink' but I do enjoy reading rape stories more than those fluff ones. People who do have it like to put themselves in ukes position, or maybe some in the semes. Some people don't have partners to rp this or are uncomfortable
it's all a matter of perspective, i believe. readers will take in the story in different ways with their own interpretations. you're not wrong but so aren't the nakyum x seungho shippers. i just feel that we should just have fun theorizing the plot with each other but at the same time, respect each other's opinions and take on of the story. ofc people shouldn't support rape in real life, that's messed up but this is fiction so as long as it stays here as fiction and is not taken in as something real or influencing.. it shouldn't hurt anyone.
i understand what you're trying to say. like you said, people like watching movies or series about a serial killer or even satanic cults but then again, as long as it remains as a fictional preference and doesn't influence you to support things like that in real life, it's fine. it shouldn't hurt anyone because of the elements you prefer in fictional media.
and yes, the name calling with the threats is something that exceeds the boundaries anyone should have when interacting with someone online. cyberbullying has never done any good for both parties so people should really learn how to respect other's opinions and go because it really won't be making a difference in your real life so don't put the effort to bully.
it's an obvious thing that there will be two groups of readers divided into those who ship nakyum x seungho (like me) and those who don't but that doesn't mean you guys go thrashing the other group just cause your opinions clash like wtf, it's fiction.. it's not real plus take the historical setting into mind too. if the themes bother you so much then don't read it. or just read and go if you can't respect other's opinions. it's seriously not that hard, really.. stop being so rude to others over a FICTIONAL story.
