You see it in yaoi manga, mostly, though I've also seen it in shojo (._.) where the male character essentially says "[You look/act such a way that] makes me want to rape you". Sometimes even the ukes say "Rape me" and I have no idea how to feel about that. (⊙…⊙ )
What do you make of this? Do you think there's something lost in translation, that the word "rape" is their shorthand of saying "ravish" or "to be rough" with? Is it supposed to be kinky, like consensual non-consent? Or do the mangakas not really grasp how extreme and serious a crime like rape really is?
I mean, if it's your kink, it's your kink, but seeing such a phrase stated so bluntly is really jarring because here in the West it's just..simply not said. The word "fuck" is usually used to replace "rape" to imply that an act, rather than a crime, is about to occur, ya feel? It's just SO WEiRD.
Y'all probably saw this lately, but at a certain point in time, the images in our albums just won't show up as anything but the little broken image icon. Any new images from the manga hosted on this site that you add will show up, but not the old ones. The way I've found to "fix" this is clicking on the icon, opening the link to the manga page in a new tab, re-saving it to the same folder, exiting out of that tab, then deleting the original link.
That's MY solution to all this but let me tell you, I have a folder with over 600 images from all the manga I've read on this site. Do I really need to do what I just did? I don't want to start over with a new album because this one took me a handful of literal years to get to the huge number it is today!!

It's yaoi, of course. The plot is that a demon lord has lost his powers and his court of fellow demons (named after demon lords of Hell, if I remember correctly) proceed to have sex with him. Yes it's SA, but I want to know if there's been any progression of the story since the last time I've read it. Can't find it.
...dark fall?
Definitely dark fall
K, thanks!
