So, after seeing a lot of threads in some manga/manhua, there are still some people who justifies rape with their argument that it's only fiction! or that if the person didn't "mind" it then it's not rape! A certain manhua's premise is literally rape where the girl's under the influence of drug and ML had sex with her, for everyone, is this rape or not? Now, what if we'll take in the factor of how it was afterward? So when the gurl woke up, she apparently didn't react in any violent manner or something, and thus other people justifies that it's ok since the gurl herself didn't mind.
Some questions i'd like to hear from everyone especially those who dont believe in sex in fiction, 1) How do you define rape? 2) What are rhe factors that make a sex into rape? 3) What makes it not rape? 4) Is everything justifiable/alright as long as it's fiction?
(this is why i love mangago aside from it's a manga website, you learn and discuss things with the other users! maybe i should make a study based on this website. if some also noticed, we can make a study of the readers development and the pattern of, if i dare say, the improvement of the readers social awareness based on the comment sections! or like the trend of readers comments, or like when did readers started to get out of the idea that no need to get agitated on fictitious stories!)
ANYWAY! Thank you to those who will answer! lezz begin!
EDIT:: i realized i asked some wrong question and missed my point due to my phrasing. to clarify on, i'd like to raise the issue of do we recognize rape in fiction the same way we do irl or not? because it seems like there are many times we missed it as such because it's just fiction. also coming from argument like since the character didn't mind it, then it's no rape (which also happens in real life but is more prevalent reaction in reading ) do we dismiss the event as no rape?
2. Did the translators not want their shit shared anywhere or just shared slowly?
3. If they didnt want their stuff shared no matter what and wanted it to be some dirty little secret? I really dont understand why translations teams get like this. Follow EXR scans lead and just share christ almighty. The powers that be are not gonna throw you into jail for something petty like this, grow some balls.
Well, personally, it doesn't affect me one way or the other and that is because I have studied psychology and sexual psychology for many years. Rape has been part of romance for as long as stories have been told and written. And there is a good reason for it. As humans, we desire things and we are greedy by nature. However, the things that help us ......
I'll star addressing the rape fantasy myth that some users keep repeating, when they have never ever been around with people with those fantasies. and also I'll explain a bit some fact behind the problem of rape an all adult and manga genres. rape is not a yaoi thing, rape is part of all manga and anime adult genres. japan has the biggest rape cult......
Please let me know which trope is the most interesting and I'll prob focus on that. (I wrote some of these tropes half awake so they might not make sense on some parts >q<)
1: An outcast witch saves a vampire running away from a mob of humans attempting to kill him. They become a couple later on and go on wacky adventures featuring supernatural creatures and witchcraft.
They're a switch couple and the vampire is verrrry toll
2: A story about 2 special escort service workers falling in love. The main couple is a switch and both female, however, the more dominant one out of the couple mostly bottoms.
3: A boy questioning his sexual identity stumbles upon a renovated cafe that once was a gay bar and meets the owner who is an openly gay man who once was a regular at the bar. The cafe owner mentors the boy about discovering his identity and shares his experiences of being a homosexual in very traditional times. The 2 have a platonic relationship since the owner is likely middle-aged/elderly whereas the boy is in high school.
4: An omega sheep-girl meets an alpha wolf-boy and the sheep-girl reveals to be sadistic in bed and likely pegs the dude at some point.
5: The daily lives of a sorcerer and knight couple that live in a world plagued with beasts that are their race's main source of resources. The knight is a buff dude who is a power bottom and the sorcerer is a seductive, charming dude whos versatile
6: A fellow priest discovers an injured woman in an alleyway and saves her by bringing her to the church he resided in. The girl works as a nun but later reveals to be a devil and seduces the priest. The girl is actually not a succubus (won't spoil her true identity) and reveals to the priest that he is tainted which explains why she was able to enter the church unharmed. The priest is into bdsm and the demon girl is the mistress.
Eng translation ????
Now both of them are in the wrong for using one another and not communicating efficiently. Hey-sung tends to leave out important details or just tries to do the simplest quickest solution. He literally ran away from home in his last year of high school it’s implied and quit school because he’s “dumb”. Which may not be the case at all. It seems like Hye-sung is a mathematics savant since he was young, which might also be carried over to some other subjects like physicis which requires a lot of math, and has gotten a lot of negative treatment from his father. So I don’t know what happened with his family since it’s not stated but I’m guessing it was more of child neglect and verbal negativity given to him to the point where he gets test and performance anxiety attacks. He’s scared to the point that he essentially fails the things that are easy for him to do otherwise when he’s not being judged.
Now for Dojin, he did use Hye-sung as a muse of sorts, finds other omegas disgusting and the one who he did take home and couldn’t even get in the mood with looked very similar to Hue-sung in appearance type. Aka Hye-sung is most likely Dojin’s actual preferred type. (Cute ones essentially) he also doesn’t really let people into him head and likes to be in control when he thinks others are pushing their ideas a bit too much in him. He clearly doesn’t know how to start a relationship that should last and his sexual and emotional attraction to Hye-sung is both disturbing and a mystery to him. He’s completely confused why he’s acting this way. It’s like someone else has control over his body, especially in chapter 19 when he takes advantage of Hue-sung and it takes him a long while to snap out of it.
Both are being manipulated by their bodies without their control and now both are taking advantage of the situation at hand to be the most beneficial for them. Which I can’t blame one side without blaming the other. Clearly they both have their fair share of problems and the author decides what to do not us so can we all take some chill pills!?
