what the fuck was that first story? I couldn't even finish it... usually if I disagree with the morality of a story I just give 1 star and leave but I have to question the first story. As a black person all I could see was the parallels to slavery and I found it extremely disturbing how they were treating it and the way the characters were acting within it
Dood. It's yaoi manga. Get over it. It's supposed to show being a slave to pleasure as an underlying meaning.
Put your social justice warrior persona back in the box and just enjoy the art and effort the mangakas put in to make these. Are you a slave? Your parents? Your grandparents? Have you seen slavery in modern day, other than the capitalist kind and third world countries? No? Get over it. Live your life in the now, not the past.
Ffs, this is entertainment and nowhere near real.

I don't care what race you are or whether or not you disagree with me about how disturbing the tone of the story was.. The only issue I have is how people immediately like to put down other people's opinion based on nonsense like sjw or liberal, etc. Am I all of sudden not allowed to feel anyway about race because it offends you or something? Just because I wasn't a slave doesn't mean I don't see how it affected my family. It wasn't that long ago that the women in my family couldn't even vote.. so yes I think it was disturbing what that has to do with whether the art is "good" I don't know..
And wtf does slave to underlying pleasure have to do with it. They took the concept of slavery (and rape) without acknowledging how creepy the tone was like "hee hee, thanks for saving me from being raped or killed pweez show me what a bad god I've been (≧∀≦)" While also using comic relief like "oh he's just a new slave and doesn't know to obey us my bad". I found that disturbing, kindly disagree and move on but don't try to invalidate my opinion, that's not how opinions work
this is so frustrating to read I feel like some characters are lacking critical thinking skills
Also it feels like we take one step forward and two steps back when it comes to communication. He could tell Ruby was lying but continued to give her brother the benefit of the doubt even though he saw how she reacted to freya and the maid bullying her? He knows she's good at pretending she's not been hurt but continues to stand by even when he thinks it's happening. And then ruby makes a whole monologue about telling him the truth but can't just hint she doesn't want to be near her brother? And even the scene where her brother kissed her it looked so unconsensual no way they're all standing there like omg did she just kiss him?? And then they let freya run around like she wasn't gonna spread that information immediately? I don't know something about the characters' actions make sense and no sense at the same time. It's like you can tell they're holding back mentally for the sake of drawing out the drama when in reality a lot of these issues could be resolved if some of the characters thought for two seconds.
I think I'm going to stop reading this...it's just the same problem over and over again
