If it's in FICTION and part of the plot, yes.
You didn't bring other crimes?
I'll help you.
-Kidnapping kids but they show it in a good light, is that okay because it's fiction? If that's part of the plot, then yes.
-Parents beating their kids but showing it in a good light, is that okay because it's fiction? If that's part of the plot, then yes.
-People stealing from rich people but they show it in a good light, is that okay because it's fiction? If that's part of the plot, then yes.
You still don't get it?
You think in murder movie or novels there's always heroes?
You clearly doesn't know dark novels or movies where killing means killing.
Ever read a novel called perfume? That's the example where a story doesn't have a hero The protagonist is the antagonist.
Again, no sane people justify the action.
They're amazed on how he do the murder and collecting that (I won't give you spoiler) and many admiring the character.
But that doesn't mean they will do the same if that happens in real life.
If at this point you still don't get it, I suggest you go to a library, asked a librarian for a book that explain about fiction.
Or just posted a question here and get people's opinion about the whole "Is it okay because it's fiction" thing.
NOT JUST RAPE.
I mentioned for the previous person, you can't cherry pick "crimes" in fiction because that makes you hypocrite.
Lmao.
Did you hear yourself saying that? You don't want a rape in a rape based story?
Lmao.
You judge the plot climax, character development, but judge the theme? lmao
So it's okay to shipping a dog with a human? Supernatural Yaoi have lots of stories like that.
So it's okay to shipping a serial killer with the victim? Many fiction stories are like that.
The list goes on.
oh wow yikes I can't argue with someone who thinks serial killers showing in a good light is ok. That's a very inhumane thing to say. Now don't go off saying it's not the same because a crime is a crime.
╮(￣▽￣)╭
The fact that you know very well it's fiction but keep saying "Now don't say it's fiction" is hilarious.
IT'S FICTION
(▰˘◡˘▰)
Lol, I can't reply to you directly, Stardust.
I wonder why....lmao
Here my respond to you:
It's called your words against you.
That's what you get from focusing on one side and completely ignored the other.
Just focus on word rape but completely ignored the word fiction.
Calling people out for shipping rapist-victim IN FICTION story, but completely fine with people shipping killer-victim.
That's how narrow your way of comprehend things
My advice for you, just like the previous person: Don't read what you're not comfortable with or against your morality when it's clearly fiction). And don't call people out if you don't want to get called out, don't mocked people if you don't want to get mocked as well.
Now, hush hush (〜￣△￣)〜
Excusing what’s happening by making the claims “Soo-Young only wanted him to stop because the feeling was new to him” or “He’d never felt such pleasure before, he’s being over stimulated” is ridiculous. The only way I’ll buy into this “no actually means keep going” BS you guys are on is if there is a safe-word in use, which, there clearly isn’t. This is the most obvious case of irony, where the viewer/reader is aware of something other characters are not. We may be aware of the exact reason Soo-Young is saying stop, but Tae-Seung doesn’t.
Nobody is saying you’re not allowed to read Manhwa that incorporates rape or uses a rape trope, it’s the romanticizing of it that matters. You cannot have read this chapter, where Soo-Young tells Tae-Seung to stop multiple times, and come out of it thinking this isn’t rape. Did you read some sort of secret, exclusive version of the chapter that no one else did? Nobody but Soo-Young can hear his internal monologue. When he heard the word “stop”, Tae-Seung should have stopped what he was doing and waited for the green light.
Which he didn’t, he took advantage of Soo-Young’s uncertainty and kept going despite constantly being told to stop. The rules of rape are not magically changed just because it takes place in a fictional world.
