when i saw Dante didn't have penis, i'm like.. Holyshit! Holyshit! Holyshit! poor Orlando....

It's the reality of war. I heard that this was what they did to a lot of men in the war at Bosnia Herzegovina. I was still a child when the war broke, so I don't know much but I know this was true... it's scary just to think about it

i think Mikami talked about cutting penis.
actually i never heard about sodomi to adult in the war, children perhaps but not adult men. but who knows?

It's been reported upon ( http://www.theguardian.com/society/2011/jul/17/the-rape-of-men) and I believe Amnesty International keeps records of reported torture and rape, although the taboo nature of the subject means that NGOs ignore it ( http://www.theguardian.com/global-development-professionals-network/2013/jun/25/dealing-with-male-rape).

Oh my GOD!
it's so heartbreaking.
i have to admit that i enjoy reading manga about sex between men, even rape, but not in real life. i mean, raping someone, no matter the gender, it's so WRONG.

Absolutely. I think most people who read yaoi feel that way.

Besides, most of the rape in yaoi is a cipher for something else entirely. It isn't the same thing at all.

With yaoi or any story really that involves rape that is between the two main characters I believe is actually a form of sex fantasy of the reader. I'm 100% that everyone who has read a story like that and enjoyed has fantasizes of themselevss being raped (or forceivly assaulted) or vice versa with their object of affection. Many people in real life play out such fantasies. But the truth of being forced to to go though that is scary and horrible. But the desire is there that's why there are such manga such as this. For thoses "dirty" desires.

Hi Ninja Fangirl. See, I'm not 100% convinced that being forcibly assaulted by a loved one (or, conversely, forcibly assaulting a loved one) is what every such stories' readers are fantasizing about at all. I'm sure it's true for *some* readers, but the id and libido don't operate by reason, and it's absurd to assume that responses are consistent and rational for every person. When a story appeals to the hidden aspects of people's minds, we're off in a whole different universe. It could be anything. It might be somebody, for example, who just lost a beloved pet and who feels bereft and despairing as a result; so the story hurts just enough that they experience solace in the fact that they are still capable of feeling emotional responses. Anyway, I'm not interested in making up scenarios about why people react in such an illogical fashion to fiction and other forms of art. They simply do. And it isn't my job (or any other person's job) to act like some sort of occult police, regulating what they are or aren't supposed to experience in their fantasy life. That's why it's fantasy.

Well, maybe our "Psycho-pass" just turned bad. *ponders*
But that still wouldn't mean I'd obendiently stay and be lobotomized until I fit into my box.

Like, really, "100%" and "everyone"?? How would you even know?
Let me tell you right now : it's not "everyone".
Not everybody has the same way of thinking and feeling (thank heavens) so please refrain from speaking for eveyone.

Did it?

Live and let live.

I understand that everyone has there views and I apologize for forcing my assumptions on you. It's was very late (or early) at night and I might have not considered other possiblities as I should have.
Regarding that I do not with this to become a thread of such anger and hate as I've seen way too many threads become on here :( I believe the message has been put across and I wish to future readers to try and ignore my post as to help not progress such a topic which may be hurtful to others which I seem to have done. Honestly I would delete my post if I had the option.

Goodness. I knew it existed in wars but I didnt think the male victims of rape had such little support...

Not just male victims, either. The support for all survivors of sexual assault is pretty sketchy at best, and there are no countries where it is not a problem.

Yeah, i believe this to be true.
