SAME AHHH

what did you expected? it's yaoi. ╮(￣▽￣)╭

True... But it's not there aren't good stories out there

ig yaoi is an excuse for rape now

Lord yes...he went from wanting to be his #righthandman to #bitchgoals even for yaoi, I'm like wtf?

Then why not we #StopKillingTrope or #StopViolenceTrope in Action/Shounen/Isekai manga then? Since killing and violence is bad in real life. Oh wait, manga and anime is not real. Aren't some people quite hypocrite sometimes? When a main character kill left and right is so cool in manga and anime. That's okay. But when rape involve, you want to be a righteous person to say it is bad and should stop writing on it. Why don't you make a manga yourself and publish it then? Since you know so much on making a story to not be cliche or catch people attention and making sells. *snickers* People nowadays know how to differentiate real life and fiction. If you can't, then you need help.

The fact that this is fiction is both obvious and irrelevant. This trope was not created for Western audiences. It was written for women in a culture where it wasn't acceptable that good girls openly like sex. So as these women identify with the uke/neko, sex must be forced....no means yes, etc. etc. We are not the paying audience so we can not influence mangaka.
We all have a right to our opinions, however. Idt anyone here is looking down on people like nh2602 who may enjoy this trope.
Art is an expression/reflection of life. Are we really objecting to rape tropes or are we objecting that other cultures did not get the sexual revolution memo? Even in Western cultures, rape fantasies are not uncommon though they may be portrayed differently in art. Imho, I want to read fiction where tropes and cliches are creatively played with rather than thrown into a story to complete some formula. I think if a story has rape, it should be critical to the plot and the story should avoid glossing over the traumatic effects to be authentic.This story could have been a good comedy if not for that initial rape scene that came out of no where and did nothing to move the plot along. Ryu could have revealed himself and gotten consent for sex given how much he was idolized. For me adding rape to a comedy is exponentially cringeworthy but I'm not here to convince people to see it my way, I'm just venting.

oh um, then. there's a genre called shounen ai. not sure if there's no rape included.

Oh thank god. I love the way you say it. Because the most that rebuke me are the westerners. Their views are different from ours, asians. That is why I always love the Japan/Korea/China/Asia community more. Western side is kinda more toxic and judgemental like everything must be connected to the real life situation. No offense to you though.
Because we read just to enjoy. To read to escape from reality. A stress relief. A hobby. Some use them as a therapy. For me having sex outside marriage is a sin. If I go and live in the western country, I might be ridicule because of the way I look and dress as well as my religion. Just because there is a rape in this manga, does not mean we are fully support it in real life. We do not connect 2D characters with real life. That is why as you can see all 2D characters drawn beautifully without any realism to actual human in real life. So if we want to say on victims perspective. I was a victim of a sexual assault when I was a kid. But I read this manga with this trope? Don't I ever ever get triggered? I just enjoy it for the plot or any. Something about reading is a coping mechanisms for me. Example, when I hit rock bottom, I feel really depressed when hearing someome become successful or getting lecture on how someone can be success when their situation worse than mine. But when I'm hearing someone knows how it feels like to hit rock bottom or how it is be a failure. I feel relief, all the heavy rocks on my shoulders somewhat lifted bit by bit. Having someome to know how it is to feel to be failure and not about success seems alleviate some of my depression. Yeah, each people have different way. We enjoy manga and anime as a sense of escaping from reality. A fantasy world where they create however they want.

i’m aware, i wasn’t being serious ab it :’)

Actually some of my favorite mangas contain rape but, not in this cheapass stupid way. I didn't say stop rape in yaoi, I said stop rape TROPE! And by the way, I could defiantly write a better story than this one, because this is trash. There much better stories out there, with or without rape involved.

looking forward for your work then. gambate! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
