You really made your mark here fighting against rape culture. You’ve made a difference. Good job perv
You are not going to read my essay because you actually can't answer the questions I posted to you.
You keep vomiting a hypocrisy about how people reading rape plots are responsible for real life crimes while being unable to explain why any other crime in fiction can be considered by what they are .... just fiction that do not harm real people.
You certainly can't stop adult people from enjoying their fictional characters the way they choose to and I certainly can't stop you from spouting the idiotic charge that people reading POTN are guilt or responsible for real life rapes.
I can however call you out every time you spout such bullshit.
I am not responsible for people behaving badly in real life anymore that you are. Give yourself a golden sticker though for trying it.
Again, this story trivializes rape in the same way other stories trivialize incest, murder, etc but I trust you are an adult that is intelligent enough to make a distinction between right or wrong in real life even though fiction may 'trivialize' a particular crime.
I have to block you now because in order to keep an argument you need the people to be able to at least keep a level of honesty.
when asked to explain how an adult can read POTN and get out of it that rape is normal --- what is the whole premise of what you are accusing everybody here --- you fail to do.
You are the one who chose to read a story that would make you uncomfortable. You are not 'calling' anyone out with your shaming. You are behaving like a child who seems confused with the basic notion that fiction is not to be taken as real life.
When you start trying to justify your shaming posts with saying that people reading fictional characters are actually responsible for people in real life committing crimes you are being ridiculous.
On the other hand, it is start to worry me that you actually believe an adult reading POTN can just start believing that rape is normal. If you ever feel this inclination, please seek support.
Remember: if a man ever touches you against your will in real life, this is wrong. It doesn't need to be rape. No matter if you read that they fall in love in a fictional Yaoi rape plot.
I'm saying that just in case you start believing it is normal after reading the stories here -- what apparently you seems to believe that is how it goes.
Man, this is exhausting.
It had been a long time since I didn't see one of those who actually pull the 'you are responsible for real life rapes' if you are shipping this couple. Wow.
Somehow in her mind she can read this and not be influenced into believing rape is normal but everyone else is a gullible naive lamb who after reading POTN will change their whole moral set and start believing rape is normal.
The proof of that is that they ship Seungho x Nakyum, two fictional characters in an Yaoi Plot.
Somehow the same logic doesn't apply to any other bad behavior these people may be reading and therefore makes sense to go around saying that readers of POTN contributes to 'rape culture' but if they read any tolerate any other form of crime that does not contribute to any other normalization.
Sounds legit!
I think they really believe that.
Imagine thinking that you are really fighting 'rape culture' if you hang around Yaoi rape plot fictional stories shaming their adult audience and lecturing them how to read their stories and blaming them for real life crimes.
Imagine believing that because you think they will start believing rape is normal if they ship this couple.
Number of real victims saved if these people could censor Yaoi Rape Plot out of existence: 0
Number of real rapists or any other criminals stopped if they couldn't read this or any other fiction: 0
I wish I could feel accomplished with this little.
she really wrote a dissertation on a yaoi site but i am HERE for it
Essay on the dangers of policing morality in fiction - part 1:
One of my favorite Yaoi characters is Yashiro from Saezuru. He is an Yakuza mob boss.
I assume no one needs an explanation that Yakuza is a very bad organization and anyone associated with it is not a good person. Actually they are really, really horrible people, especially if they are higher ups because no one gets to be boss in a mob without a few bodies in the trunk.
Since Yashiro is an Yakuza boss with long and successful career in the organization, it goes without saying that his life involved crimes just as heavy as any real Yakuza boss. Although Yashiro doesn't kill anyone in the story, he seems quite willing to do dirty work when needed so it would not be out of realm to assume he has even ordered murder once or twice in his life.
I root for Yashiro, I ship him with his bodyguard Doumeki that, despite being a 'good' guy is also someone who can torture or kill someone if only this are his orders and specially if it comes from his beloved boss.
Yakuza is actually quite a common background for many Yaoi 'favorites' and strangely enough I never once saw anyone hang around Seazuru or any other of those lecturing people that they shouldn't be rooting for Yashiro because it is wrong. I never saw anyone hang around Saezuru saying that they want Yashiro in prison for his life of crime.
Is it because people have the ability to see that just because readers can root for an Yakuza boss in fiction and know that crime is wrong, this does not mean that the readers glorify real Yakuza bosses?
I never saw anyone posting there that Saezuru 'normalizes' crime so why there is this double standard with stories that have rape plot?
You may feel very smart or superior coming here with your : 'you can't justify rape just because it's fiction' but I actually can. Because just like I can justify loving and rooting for Yashiro to get away with his crimes and find happiness because he is not a real Yakuza boss causing harm in the world, I can justify that a fictional, very unrealistic plot of a Seungho and Nakyum ship will never hurt anyone.
It is beyond comprehension that there are still people who can't understand that fiction is pretend, make believe, escape.
One can root, enjoy, love a murderer in a fictional story and this in any way means at all that they 'normalize' what they do in real life.
The fact that simple, basic logic like this still has to be explained to the people who hang around here bashing the shippers of rape plot is beyond me.
