Very true. And when it does move to consent it’s still brutal and doesn’t involve any after care. Eventually there’s a very possessive declaration of feelings from the huge buff guy to the always crying smaller one, and that’s their happy ending. No thank you.
that's why i stopped reading them. Jinx out of all of them is a bane of my existence. And it's kinda concerning how girls (this is teenage girls mostly, we should admit it) are trying to convince everyone that the mc will be the greenest banner in the world.
Legit haven’t read any for like a cool decade now and everytime I see a new one it gets worse and worse. Like. It’s to the point people expect it and if it’s not there they’re confused
i think it really becomes an issue when introduced to impressionable minds. outside of that, i think the normalization affects future bl works, not real life.
I though it was old bl tradition? I stapped to read any manga and manhua because it was incredibly hard to find anything remotely healthy there. It was around 2010s. Then as I saw trend was a bit go for better relationships with less abusive stories, not always "mafia boss takes your debts with sex"
It was always present in manga, especially the old titles, but it's become insanely popularized with today's korean webtoons. A lot of teenagers are reading them and are even obsessed. They're even admitting that they're reading those webtoons only for those sex scenes
Gonna be real, yaoi manga has been normalizing this shit for well over a decade. The concept of the bottom (it's ALWAYS the bottom...) not wanting to have sex and being either bullied or physically forced into it has been A Thing in way too many series... Legit gross tbh.
That's true. It's so hard to find a title, that isn't normalizing abuse and romanticizing sick possessiveness. There's always this tall, ripped guy who's simply a trash of a person, but the authors are trying so hard to make it seem like it's peak attractive think in a man. I'm so sick and tired
I remember being recommended some (don't remember the title) and... one of the first episodes had love interest raping some other guy and like... now you want me to root for this bastard to end up with the main guy?
I don't know which I feel more weird about... this or the "I love him so much
I couldn't stop myself from raping/sa-ing him" trope that was quite popular in older jp bls (at least I think it's mostly a thing of a past... could be also that manga publishers here tend to avoid titles with it)
