Fictional Rape vs. Documentaries About Rape
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.
What do you guys think of this topic?
"Documentaries about rape"? You mean the ones about how someone committed a crime and went to fucking prison like they're supposed to? Those "documentaries about rape"?
Why are we comparing that to bullshit rape romanticization in bl/yaoi, exactly..?
