Rape
Why is Rape romanticized so much in manga, especially the Japanese ones. I am not okay with rape, like at all. If I hear about it, or encounter someone who has been raped, my blood boil for the victims. Also, I get so mad when I hear about the statistic of the molesters that get away with it . Yet, when I read it in manga, I don't exactly care. I'm not sure why? I thought that maybe I had a rape fetch, so I subscribed to this website (pornographic) and watched a video about that, but couldn't even get to the half of it, and I almost threw my phone out of the window.
My friend think it's because manga romanticize Rape a lot. So, my brain learned the pattern and now, when I see Rape in manga, I automatically just assume it's gonna have a "happy ending."
OR maybe it's because I know they're not real people.
OR maybe it's like Bill Burr said: no body care about cartoon kids. You can yell, insult and even scream at children in cartoon, but it'd be a different story with real kids. (You know with children being victims in this analogy)
I honestly don't know anymore, and usually I feel really bad after I read a story like this. So, I tried to avoid them. But it's kinda hard, because every other manga is Rape-based. It's frustrating.
Remember that manga is fiction. It isn't real so it's normal not to care for fictional characters. now, if you listen to True Crime, and don't empathize at least a little bit with the pain and awful things REAL PEOPLE have went through, then that's when you can be a little concerned haha

Understandable, I can agree and disagree but i don't feeling giving a reason to that fufufu~ i don't care when it's in manga bc I like the fact that they put some realistic events and unfortunate circumstances, yk?

do ppl just throw the word r4p3 nowadays,, it's a literal crime and a human rights violation... also it's concerning if ure desensitised by such graphic content. most of these 'tropes' are marketed for sick minded ppl, really. if u think abt it, it's just like g0r3 with no guts flying around. mind u, no normal person would straight up WATCH or even......

Well it's kinda true, you have read a lot of Mangas with that trope so your brain has pretty much accepted and normalised it setting it aside from real life. But well I've read some rapey shit (from the pov of the victim) and the author usually illustrates it in such a way that the victim kinda gets over it and dosent minds it much but reality is d......

Yeah I kinda agree. I try my best to avoid manga with rape because I don't wanna get used to reading it and thinking that it's normal and "they'll be happy in the end anyways".
