This doesn't apply if you don't read anything where the protagonist is in danger (the majority of stories), but wouldn't you rather a more realistic representation of rape rather than a BL where they fall in love? I'm just curious of this because it is widely known many people watch documentaries with rape and murder in them, but shouldn't as many people be stating that shows like that should be banned as well?
If someone has been murdered in a manga, shouldn't that be something to avoid in a book as well? I just don't understand most of these answers in replies to questions like "is it okay to read rape" and what not. Of course, I understand SOME of these replies, about the effects it has on people, the trauma, and how the love for rape can really affect the normalization of it. But then there's people jumping on the wagon to hate on someone because everyone else is doing so. Yes, you shouldn't enjoy rape because it's fucking rape, but reading it doesn't make you a sinner. Most times rape is there to make you pity the victim, not put you onto the rapist. It brings light onto serious things people had to deal with and how it affected them. Of course this topic could be traumatic to people who have experienced it, and to that I say do not read. But to all the people who overall just avoiding it because it's "disgusting" (or at least SAY they do in the comments) should also avoid stories of murder, depression, anxiety, and literally any story were others get hurt. Because it's disgusting your reading a story were someone had a traumatic experience like that. But, if you just like rape and go searching to stories specifically for rape, I really can't defend you man, that's weird even for me.

Fiction, non-fiction doesn't matter. It's a vile act. Portraying romanticized rape in fiction is unnecessary, manipulative, and even harmful—especially when it feeds into real-life misconceptions about sexual assault that are often used to deprive rape survivors of legitimacy or justice.
Anyone can write stories about rape but should they when they know nothing about it?
It's just lazy writing.
There are stories about rape that are worth telling. But without extensive research into the problems, stereotypes, and struggles that rape survivors face—including what makes rape different from other forms of violence—it's too easy for fictional depictions to contribute to those issues rather than combat them. With so many other narrative tools out there, using rape is almost always unnecessary. There are better ways to tell nearly any story, so why use the one that tends to be both the laziest and the most harmful?
The "rape fantasy" that some of you have would be consensual. I don't think you would want to be raped by some unknown man in his late 50 or whatever.
The turn-on may be the idea of being forced to have sex for many individuals, but they do not actually want to be raped.

I don’t understand why people say “your disgusting to think rape is ok in fiction” to people who read yaoi, hentai and other.
Because I feel really hurt when people say I am disgusting and revolting because of what I read
I read those things but that doesn’t mean I wish for them to come true in real life
If I fantasize about 2 characters doing it, it doesn’t mean I want to see in real life
I am not thinking about 2 ACTUAL PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVING IN THIS EARTH doing each other
I feel like the word ‘rape’ is being misused in rape fantasies
Personally I think of it as someone controlling me, but that is my opinion
For people who say that people who fantasize about rape and think rape is ok in fiction are disgusting and gross, fair enough maybe you don’t know to much but have you ever considered other people’s feelings ?? Do you know that there are people who don’t fantasize about rape but still read this media
You might say “oh but since you think that you must be one of those disgusting people”
To that I say no, I am not disgusting for reading it, to me it seems you are more belittling us more than trying to make a point.
The thing is rape in yaoi hentai is different in irl, I don’t know how to explain this well but when you see yaoi starting with uke being sexually harassed by seme and it continues on like that for a few chapters, you might see the comment section saying how seme is bad and a jerk and then it changes becaus the character becomes more nicer toward uke.
That would be different if it had no story, there litterelly was no plot for the sexy parts.
The comment section would be way different, it wouldn’t be talking about the characters but solely on segs
Which means the rape on the fiction is MEANT TO BE THERE, fiction exsist for a reason, do you know why horror exsist even though we are scared of it ??? It really doesn’t make sense because fiction and reality are 2 worlds apart, the person responsible is the viewer, they are the ones who decide what to do with what they have read.
“Oh but this person watches this and became a terrible person” well again, that person is responsible for there actions
Just because I read about segs stuff and rape in fiction doesn’t mean I about bound to want it to happen to me irl, just because you read sci-di doesn’t mean you will become a scientist and travel through time and space.
In summary, rape on real life is bad and disgusting, fantasizing about rape or being controlled is ok I think you can fantasize about anything, I also fantasize sometimes about it fantasizing it to me is ok as long as it is not putting you into physical harm or harm in reality.
Rape in fiction is ok, my opinion on this one is based off of what I read in the past. I think it’s ok becaus 1-it’s fiction, 2- the 2 characters are meant to be like that, the top and bottom are meant to have a sexual relationship/contact with each other but if it is another character than it’s a no go because at this point in the novel Uke already likes seme
And 3- rape in fiction meant to be in it, rape again between the 2 main is what is meant to happen and even if it is not it’s there for a reason
An example “the Beast must be tamed” had the Uke being raped by these other character that is not seme, i hates those characters and I felt so for the uke because he had to go through this, that is what I meant
If you disagree with all that I said then I can say nothing more, I just want to tell you this t inform you more, and to add not once have I said “disgusting or “stupid to the people who disagree with me because I don’t want to be mean about it.

Lmfao I'm asian and my mom will not stop slapping my butt cheeks.
Solo leveling and till our lips touch 10/10 would recommend
why our ukes keep suffering before they can be happy?
is that the new mainstream plot?
like Dispar, Dine with a vampire or Painter of the night.

Manga: Japanese comics
Manhwa: Korean comics
Manhua: Chinese comics
I have to limit the genre to Yaoi since that's the genre I mostly read here in Mangago.
So....
For the last, idk, two years I guess? Mangago started to upload many Yaoi manhwa and manhua. Well, maybe Mangago has been uploading manhwa and manhua since long time ago but at least from what I see, the homepage started to have many manhwa and manhua in the last two years.
I've been reading yaoi manga since 2013, and reading yaoi manhwa and manhua, I feel like I saw the differences right away.
For mangas, they don't have many chapters, the plot usually very straight forward, the development of characters is quick, the sex scenes are amazing, not many characters.
For manhwas, I feel like they're in the middle. They have many chapters, the plots are very varies, interesting ideas as well, the development of characters usually not too quick and not too long, the sex scenes are amazing, there's decent amount of characters.
For manhua, I feel like it's more like a novel. The plot has a rather long, sometimes slow development. It takes more than 50 chapters to see the MCs finally in the main idea/story. The characters' development are gradually, take a long time as well. As for the sex scenes, I feel like they're more into feelings than the graphic. And the characters, they have many of them. I have to drop two manhuas because I can't keep up with the stories as many characters have their own stories.
Of course there's exceptions. There are some mangas with many volumes, some straightforward manhwas, some not-so-long manhuas. But I am talking about the majority of them.
I feel like I am more drawn into Manhwa lately.
I just wish that manga can develop the stories as well.
How about you? What do you think about them?
P.S
This is just for fun.
No need to get worked up about which one is better.
Everyone has their own preference.

So I've seen people complaining about rape and people complaining about the people bitching about rape but lately I wondered whether the people who didn't mind rape in yaoi are hypocrites.
I get the impression that people don't mind rape if it's not violent (eg. beating, torture) and isn't treated seriously in the story but what if the one who raped the uke is not the seme but some other random guy? would you guys still say that rape is okay? If it was during the beginning of the story and the seme and uke have yet to develop feelings for each other but the uke was vanilla raped (not violent) would you think that it was fine?
I don't know, the main argument that people who are fine with rape in yaoi usually say things like - "it's fiction" or "it always happens in yaoi anyway" but I think they're fine with it because the uke usually ends up with the rapist anyway (aka seme). I feel like there is bias towards seme rapists and are given a free pass and are usually praised at the end of the series but if they weren't the seme they would be trashed upon.

Its here. We need to talk about this. I personally don't get why's people being mad about rape in mangas, manhwas, fanfics, etc. I mean sure its okay to have opinions. But sometimes, i saw some people commenting, saying how they dont support rape etc, even blaming the manga-- Even when the translator literally put a warning.
Me personally, it doesn't bother me a lot since i know the difference between fantasy and reality. But i want to know other people's thoughts too.
