So... this might be tmi but wow that's not how being a sub or dom works lmao also the number one thing when you do bdsm is SSC, Safe Sane and Consensual. If it's not consensual then it's not bdsm, it's abuse. It bothers me whenever Yaoi stories try to get it right because I really have never seen them actually get it right. I understand that this is supposed to be an a/o/b type thing but like the problem is that BDSM is actually real like... idk whenever I make a post like this someone always yells at me in the comments but listen unless you're in the BDSM community as well what I'm saying might not be as well understood. There already exists problems of people claiming to practice BDSM as an excuse to abuse someone which stems from one party knowing less about BDSM than the other. (Do your research, thoroughly, if you're actually interested in it, for your own safety and the safety of the people/person you're doing it with.) I feel like a dad lmao but be safe y'all, I don't think I'm going to be able to read this story without it rubbing me the wrong way.
i agree with what you said, but i have two points to make:
in this manga it's simply mentioned how the terms COME from bdsm (since i'm the translator i just also want to mention they actually said 'sm'. i translated it as bdsm because bondage and discipline are present too), but the story isn't actually bdsm. at least not how it is in reality. which brings me to my next point, that yaoi doesn't reflect reality. i think i can count on one hand the realistic stories i've read. and to me that's fine, i'm aware of the cliches in yaoi. lack of consent is sadly one of them
I might be wrong but I have a feeling that the reason he got pissed was because he actually is gay and found it really insulting that this guy just wanted to pretend to be gay for TV. I get it too cuz like yeah lucky you, you can just pretend to be gay at your convenience, reap the benefits, and then duck out to avoid all the discrimination that you would face in the real world. Of course because of what genre of comic this is we already know that he's going to figure out that he actually is gay or bi later on.
Peak queer solidarity, secretary Cha is the best tbh. Also it was really cool to read where she deliberately mentioned that she was queer as a way of signaling to him that he was safe to talk to her about his own queer stuff too. It was very realistic, I've also done this so that people would know that I was someone that was safe to talk to as well.
I want to start off by saying, body swapping stuff I usually hate. I think partly because it's always done for comedy. However this story I actually really enjoyed. The way that was explored and used throughout was facianting. He changed with someone who was previously pushed around, but this guy, because of how he grew up and his circumstances, wasn't the type to let that slide. It was really satisfying to see him not take shit where the other guy had, like he was avenging him. I think also the fact that they kind of hint that the other guy could have lived, if he wanted to live, was also interesting. One wanted to live, so he was given that chance, while the other did not, and decided to let it end. I think it's also interesting the exploration of what makes a person a person. If anyone knows anything about DID or knows someone who has DID, this is especially interesting. Because depending on the alter that fronts, the way the body appears and is used truly makes them look like a different person, because they are a different person. For this reason I found it very plausible that the other guy would recognize his childhood friend despite the body not being the same, because his personality, expressions, and maurisms would still remain. Also I think that having him unable to return to his original body gives the story weight, there's a bittersweetness. He got to live, but he's lost so much. Also the fact that this story is the authors first makes me very excited for there future works. They already showed that they can explore these interesting topics, so I'm looking forward to seeing them go even further in the future.
How is literally no one talking about the fact that it is stated repeatedly that the kid is a minor?? Like even if he dose shitty things he is still literally a child? I understand if some of the younger people on here don't get it but as a young adult myself I can tell you no one in there right mind, at 27 of all things, is doing things with a 17 year old with good intentions. The maturity difference is miles different. Even with the situation he was put in the 27 year old should not have "given in" to the 17 year old. When you're an adult and a kid keeps pestering you for something that isn't good for them, you do not give in, because you are the adult in the situation and know better, where as they do not. It was just really disturbing and uncomfortable to read and then to come to the comments and see literally no one talking about it.
*me working as counsellor and knowing teen starts dating/fucking each othersince tender age of 14 or even earlier than that even when they are not being groomed by anyone around*
“Um yeah lol...”
By 17, they already understand the concept of consent, and in this manga context they are both aware of the consequence. If the uke feels violated by the action that he initiated, he can make a statutory rape report.
Bro my parents are 10 years apart what do you make of that?! When one is older age is just a number a 19yo and a 29yo can love each other. Take Junjou Romantica Misaki was 17 when he started to date Usami-San(which by the way Usami-San was 28 or 29 at the time) but point is is that now in days fuckin 15 to 17yo’s are having sex, so it’s no surprise to this happening in a manga. Love have no age nor love have limits. Love is love
“When one is older age is just a number” okay... so what about a 16 year old and a 50 years old? Ones older? It’s just a number right? Not fucking gross at all right? That’s the only thing I was bothered about yer comment... age matters for fuck sake.... just cuz ones older doesn’t make age not matter... And a 15 and a 17 year old fucking is fine... ONE ISNT A FULL ASS ADULT!
Ummmm okay then tell that to those 15 to 17yos to stop having sex then if your sooo against it. Don’t be blowing your steam on other people that don’t have fault in it. I’m just speaking my opinion and if you don’t like too fucking bad. So yeah go blow your steam on those young kids that are actually having sex and tell them to stop. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Have a good day
Bruh so yer okay with a fucking 50 year old with a 16 year old? XD wow that’s gross! Idc about a 17 year old and a 15 year old fucking neither of them are full ass adults XD it’s wrong if ones an adult and ones a fucking TEEN! I’m just telling you my opinion on what YOU said! “When one is older age is just a number” so you have a right to share yer opinion I have my right to respond to yer opinion with my opinion...
jesus christ noone is saying teens dont do it we saying that theres is a difference when a 20+yo is doing it with someone thats absolutely not an adult
like 27 and 37? fine theyre both adults they know shit, 17 and 27 yo? thats WEIRD why is the ADULT accepting that from a TEEN, its not the "oh so 3 or 12 or 5 years difference is bad" NO NO its not the number calculated its the STAGE IN LIFE for god sake
Listen it's the persons choice to fuck who they want tbh whether we think it's ok or not doesn't matter, personally I've always been attracted to older guys 15-26, 16-29 if it's the persons choice to date up then who gives a fuck.....and whose they say they're being taken advantage of yall must know some silly stupid people idgaf relationships can say tart out all kinds of ways and if your not smart enough to handle a relationship then you saytarthouldnt be fucking period. What benefit do you get from fucking children damn idk. My only point is its fictional why are we even arguing this isue who cares, if you into it then read it and if not just st fu and pass it by God dammit. The age of consent is usually around 15 to 16 so the choice of whether they fuck a 15 yr old or a 30 yr old is up to them
"Welcome to Capitalism" lmao, it's funny because it's true rip
