One of my friends gave it a 1, but another rated it an 8. It's a divisive manga bc of the rape in it, but that's exactly its point. You should read it and let me know your thoughts on it.
Yeah, I don't understand blanket statements or opinions, bc exceptions always exist. What was this person's rigid opinions on?
Oh, it's the same w me. Sometimes, the mangaka place rape in their otherwise good stories (completely blindsiding their reasons) which does not make sense since this behaviour is completely out of character for said seme. In such cases, I make a note of the rape, while giving the manga a good score bc in my mind, that rape was most likely an editorial choice anyway.
Rape is a No, yes. But if it's handled correctly, I see nothing wrong in rating a manga a 9.
By that logic, I care about manga, rape, gay love etc etc etc. But... I don't. Having a strong opinion doesn't mean I have to care about that opinion. I am able to not be emotionally involved when it comes to my opinions. Maybe that's how you function, and that's totally fine, which would also help explain why you assumed I cared about my score.
Yes, the standards in BL are very low but I'm glad more and more modern manga are increasing those standards. Idek why they're still so wary of simply jailing rapists, instead of beating them up or letting them go with a warning.
What gave you the idea that I rate poor content well because I want to maintain a certain average?
> When did I ever say that?
Whatever I've read so far was 96% to my expectations/liking, and you rated them similarly so.
The only rare times I've come across a rapist going to jail is when the rapist or assaulter is a side/mob character. I do remember a manga where the seme rapes the uke in the first chapter but spends the rest of the chapters begging for his forgiveness. The uke doesn't budge in the beginning but relents in the end. It was one of those rare stories where it acknowledge rape is being inherently wrong.
My biggest NO is rape. IDC how much in love you are, but if the seme rapes the uke, no matter how good the story, instant turn off. Incest isn't as big of a problem with me, unless it's rapey. It's disgusting, but not as horrible as rape.
So you're saying 100% of the manga you picked up based on their art/synopsis did not have any rape or dub-con in them?
I supposed you can put your disliked manga in your Hold section, if that helps.
IDK, I was discussing the same thing with someone else. Except for its art style, I haven't found much difference between yaoi and bara manga
I've read hundreds of bara manga, so I wasn't really talking about any specific ones. I really do not like that art style.
Yes, the logical fallacy of us being man-haters is, well, illogical. I don't hate men - I am simply repulsed by straight men. I'm totally okay with gay dudes. In fact, I actively try to befriend them because they aren't a source of threat or tension to me.
