Agree 100%!! It's FICTION!!!
People need to understand what that means. Just read it and not bring real life matters into this.
I felt attacked about the Killing and Stalking one. I only finished season 1 and then I was like "FREEDOM" but oh my god, out of all the things I've read, Killing Stalking is literally the one thing that I don't think I'll ever forget.
Don't bother sweetie. There is always someone who will let you know they doesn't support rape and you're the devil for supporting it in a story coming from the mind of a human being like them. In a story driven by rape, like it or not makes you a rapist, expose a breakdown of the rapist makes you a rapist supporter and make a point about the flaw you find in the victim you're a supporter of victim blaming. Either way, you're fucked up, YOU ARE AN EVIL SUPPORTER, even when you despise such acts irl. I'm so tired of it but from time to time I go along with them when I'm bored...
I think that for a Mortal Kombat player like me, I need to go out, tear someone's ribcage and smack them with it...
Ah, well, I always feel obligated to try. Not to come up with a new response, since I just copy paste what I wrote here and it’s just so much work explaining everything over and over again, but you know. To defend all those who might feel guilty engaging with touchy manga, and encourage people to recognize the difference between fiction and reality.
And if I can help someone get their head out of their ass, then all the better
Killing Stalking is a masterpiece and it’s also goddamn horrifying. I love it but I don’t think I can read it twice
Right, so since this message board is turning to ‘rape is evil and all you people reading this support rape and are evil’:
Omg I finally get what this comment section is like. It’s like pre-ending Killing Stalking, when everyone was ragging on about the readers and calling them supportive of rape, serial killers, and murder. Yet now it’s THE most popular yaoi manga on this site with an enviable rating. It’s the story I go back to and it’s the story that sticks with me long after I’ve finished it. If we agreed with everything we read, I think there would be a shit ton more serial killers with mother fetishes judging by the view count of Killing Stalking.
Or like first person shooter games. Sooo many people play it. Are they gonna suddenly pop outta their homes and start shooting people IRL? No. Otherwise we’d all be dead already.
Okay, ya’ll, repeat it with me: JUST BECAUSE YOU READ IT DOESN’T MEAN YOU SUPPORT IT. Reading is supposed to bring you to different worlds and different perspectives, and you might like something in fantasy but not in real life. (Aka yandere guys are everywhere in yaoi, and I love those stories to death, but do I want a yandere bf? NO.)
Rape is problematic. I as a fucking female under threat of it all the time when I go out know it all too fucking well. You don’t need to be telling me rape is goddamn problematic. Just let me enjoy this story without being a fucking snowflake about it.
