Is no one bothered by rape in yaoi?

I love yaoi, okay? Don't get me wrong. But are you seriously okay with the uke falling in love with the rapist/predator/paedo seme? Whatever the reason maybe for the seme to do it but this really really bothers me becoz most of the time it's becoz the seme is afraid to confess or some bullshit. Is it really love if you rape them? Like what? I just want to know your opinion. Is it considered okay in japan? I mean there are 11-12 year old girls reading this shit. They are going to think rape is okay. OR even consider it a form of true love. Why no one says anything about it? Is everyone aware of this risk in japan? I mean in my country this would be banned lol.

Is no one bothered by rape in yaoi? [Answer]

Most people are not bothered by this because:

1. They are not dumb and can tell the difference between fantasy and reality, even young people. And

2. 11-12-year-olds should not even be "reading this shit." That is why the mangaka (manga artist), their publishers and even the scanlators put 18+ warnings on them, yet they are conveniently ignored. Even many shounen ai manga/manhua/manhwa clearly have 15+ or 16+ ratings on them. So at that point, no one is responsible for exposure to such things except for the reader their self--who obviously knows better since they can read in the first place, right? . It's kind of hard to have sympathy for people who knowingly forgo warnings and then make complaints about content later. So it is what it is...

My parents let me play shooting games when I was in elementary and junior high. I understood that it was fantasy and that I couldn't go around shooting people for fun. I knew this mainly because my parents took the time to actually raise me and instill in me that I could not be emulating the stuff that I read, watched and/or played for entertainment because it was risky and stupid. They also taught me to exercise common sense. Young girls are impressionable to an extent, but they are not inept. Many of them understand that rape is not okay, and their parents should also be teaching them likewise. As a matter to fact, I am even willing to bet that most people know that rape is not okay. The people who do rape others actually know this as well, they just don't care.

Also, there are numerous yaoi readers (myself included) who very regularly, openly state that they do not read manga series' with rape in them. I promise it's not just you who feels this way.

And for the record, the rape risk in Japan has very little to do with manga. Some people are just scumbags--period. We have got to stop blaming sleazebag actions on media and entertainment. People just need to take responsibility for the crappy stuff that they do, imho. No shade or anger, just giving my opinion.

I sometimes like to read the rape tag lol but i only enjoyed the image or stories sometimes so i don't really feel bad or anything (except if the story kinda twisted). cause it's just drawings and words so yeah :'D
I wish people stop taking this personally cause i mean it's just drawings and you can always just stop reading if you don't like it? OwO)b

In japan they R-18 books are free to look at ... even if ur underaged so idk... some just like it? and some take it seriously and do it so ... well human psychological stuff is not my forte.

Imma just be at my room enjoying yaois and cats and bunnies pictures. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

I hear what you're saying. And if we're being honest here, all R-18 books are free to look at everywhere (not just Japan) as no one can technically stop you from viewing them at some point, but the R-18 tag is the warning.Whether it is obeyed or not is completely up to the reader.

I don't think there's anything wrong with enjoying manga with rape in it, it's just fiction. But idc, I just don't like it and will stop cold turkey when I encounter it in stuff. To each his/her own, right? ^__^ Also, Japanese is my second language. I'm pretty aware of many of the social norms there. There are some elementary school kids who read hentai in public and even start collecting porn at a young age sometimes, and no one ever says anything. Heck, some hentai artists draw there manga in the house where even their wives and children stay. LOL

And basically, that's just my whole point, it's fiction. People can't really be running around blaming crime on a comic, movie and/or game. That's pretty ridiculous, tbh.
