tbh i don’t think it is considered rape though, since he basically just consented to it..? idk it doesn’t make since. i think the author was going for somnophilia. but i understand where you’re coming from.
well director park was drunk, and asleep which means he couldn't have consented at that moment, yes director park was okay with it, but he still never gave his consent in that moment, making it rape
It's just a story. If someone thinks it's okay to do this because they read a manga then they were rape minded to begin with.
I get where you're coming from :( I also dislike that that scene was included. Maybe Suha and Jiwoon can talk about it again afterwards. At least Suha realizes that it was wrong? But I wouldn't blame you if you stopped reading it.
yeah i get that its just a story but it doesn't make it okay to sexualize rape, and use other peoples trauma to help build your story
This may not be the genre if rape is a trigger for you.
You sound defensive. People are allowed to criticize the fiction they consume, especially queer fiction, since it isn't as mainstream as non-queer fiction and doesn't get the same widespread scrutiny. Saying, "Welp, this is just how things are. If you don't like it then leave" is an intellectually lazy way of engaging in these sorts of conversations. I agree that people who are triggered by non-con/dub-con/etc. should be careful with yaoi/BL (I even made a list of mangas where the sex is very consensual for this very reason), but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have discussions about unhealthy portrayals of consent in fiction.
I'm not defensive. I have a right to discuss too.
My point is your own REAL mental health is what's important. If rape is a trigger then you should not read these kinds of stories where rape is fantasized. I stay away from genres that are too violent. I don't read a violent manga and then criticize it for being violent.
Of course the rape police will never understand fantasy so I'm done.
rape isn't a trigger for me. But i still get pissed when it's sexualized. The chapter has absolutely no trigger warning, there was never a warning so even if it was a trigger for me how would i have known???
I understand. I really do.
is it just me who saw this as sexualizing rape? i dont think i can keep reading this
