Well, aren't you a delicate soul. Do you enjoy murder? Do you ever watch movies about murder? Use a brain cell…
Clearly you care or you wouldn't have written five paragraphs of hysterics with desperate attempts at validating your own issues as "normalcy".
1. See provided links below. I work with rape victims every day and see the devastating effects of rape on individuals whose lives have been irrevocably changed in great part due to the desensitization prominent around sexual violence, The psychology behind the desensitization that happens due to violence in media is widely studied and has conclusively found high correlation, particularly in terms of the effects on sexual violence reporting and failure to criminalize, with depictions of sexual violence in media.
2. Yes, let's use a novel that was published in 1955 and subsequently has remained highly controversial for it's subject matter as a prime example for how to model the romanticization of pedophilia in modern media. An ode to the patriarchy and it's wonderful, lasting effects. Love it.
3. "Repulsed" by rape portrayed against on children, but turned on by rape portrayed against adults, specifically gay men. Right. Got it. Sounds lovely and totally normal.
4. Dahmer may have been "dead for years" but his victims families are very much still alive and have spoken outright about the effects the show has had on them, and the horrors of living with not only seeing the way he has been humanized and romanticized, but hearing from people blaming the victims for what happened to them in their delusional sympathy for a murderer. Not that you would apparently care, because you seem completely out of touch with reality, but they directly asked for people to boycott the series. But of course, who cares about what they want or think right? It's just television after all. This complete disregard and separation for the very REAL effects on living breathing human beings that come from fictionalized media is exactly what I'm talking about and what you clearly care nothing about so I think there's nothing left to be said.
Since you apparently don't have the ability to research fuck all for yourself (also spoiler alert: any search around this topic can pull up hundreds of articles with scientifically backed research in scholarly journals). The fact that violence sells so there are active campaigns to misrepresent scientific findings on the subject because it wouldn't be good for business, doesn't mean there is no basis in the very real argument that violence in media has very real effects on the mind, and can very much translate into real world effects. A perfect analogy is the effect of smoking and second-hand smoking. Not everyone who smokes gets lung cancer, and not everyone who gets lung cancer is a smoker, smoking however is an important factor in the existence and pervasion of lung cancer in individuals. Not everyone who consumes violent media is predisposed to becoming violent, but it does have an affect on our mental processes and actually can, in those predisposed towards violent tendencies, be an important factor in the perpetuation and subsequent desensitization of violence towards others:
Bravo - good on u for saying what needs to be said. i unlike the other commenter in this feed Don't think ur comment…
All I see in your comments is a defensiveness that very obviously stems from your own insecurities. No way in hell would you ever talk like this in public, or around your family. You being chronically closeted online with your kinks is definitely a you problem. If none of what we're saying applies to you, why are you so triggered? You clearly have deep seated issues and I truly hope you get help.
Well, aren't you a delicate soul. Do you enjoy murder? Do you ever watch movies about murder? Use a brain cell…
Do you have a reading comprehension problem? I literally said there is a huge difference between depicting rape as a part of a story to delve deeper into darker issues, and the reverse of that which is romanticizing and fetishizing rape as a trope for romantic or pornographic fiction. This isn't a movie or series with a plot that involves rape, the entire plot is built around rape and abuse. It isn't even using rape or abuse to show the realities or to dive into the psychological aspects of the issue, but rather is a convenient way to lead into a romantic and functional relationship between the two leads. Not only is it disturbing to me that people will take enjoyment out of this, you apparently being one, perpetuating "fiction" like this is dangerous. We already have way too many people ready and willing to excuse and justify rape, or who find consent to be negotiable. Again, where's the line? If we're going to pass off any crime as capable of being fetishized or romanticized why not pedophelia then? Because it's disgusting! How is rape somehow more excusable? Because we're dealing with non-consenting adults rather than children? Get real.
And actually, to answer your completely irrelevant question, no I do not enjoy content that romanticizes murderers either, tf? A perfect example of that is the disgusting way Netflix profited off of and romanticized Dahmer in their series at the expense of his victims and their families. The fact that a sadistic human like Dahmer has fangirls is sick and that literally comes from portrayals of him that mimic content like this. Murderers, particularly those stemming from real killers, aren't romantic heroes and neither are rapists! Are you serious right now? And yes I'm highly concerned with sexual crimes because they are proportionately more committed, most excused, least reported/punished, with the victims being primarily those who are the most marginalized with the least recourse. Use a brain cell and get help, truly.
Take it easy man. Your level of tolerance for people who think differently is very low.I feel like you're screaming…
Yep, I have zero tolerance for rape apologists and fetishists. You can "think differently" all you want, it doesn't make the reality any less fucked. Also, since when is there a degree to which someone can express their opinion over something? I can be as strong-minded as I like about any topic and express that just as much as anyone else in the comments, you don't have to agree with me and I could certainly care less if you (or anyone else for that matter) like what I said. How about you stop policing someone else for expressing an opposition to the group-think anticipation happening in the comments. If someone is upset or uncomfortable that I called out people for their very real rape fetish that's a problem they need to take up with themselves.
It's interesting to me the people who scream at others "don't watch if you can't handle it!" "leave if you don't like it, because I do" and write a two-page essay with every excuse in the book for why enjoying material like this is perfectly fine and logical. For one, expressing the opinion that a synopsis and premise for a novel or show is fucked up isn't the same as watching it. I would never watch this, but pretty sure you have to click on this page and read the synopsis to find out what this is about.
Two, stop making excuses for yourself and just say you enjoy rape porn without the need to justify it. That's literally all this is, there is nothing complex about it. I have to laugh at people saying "it's fiction" like that excuses actively enjoying the act of reading or watching someone getting raped and tortured. It being a work of fiction doesn't make that any less disturbing. I honestly wonder if the synopsis were pedophilic (because sickos out there do write, depict, and romanticize that) would you still be perfectly fine to say "well, it's fiction!"? If you don't want to delve too deeply into why you enjoy content like this that's on you, but taking enjoyment out of watching someone get abused and raped, and actively encouraging and enjoying rape-to-love tropes (fiction or otherwise) is not in any way "normal". It's one thing for rape to be depicted or written as a part of a story to delve into deeper and more complex themes, slapping rape and abuse over a romance to cater to fetish is not that. Some of the comments on this page turn my stomach for real.
I never saw the chemistry between Book and Force but I'm hoping that it was just because the writing and plot in their last series were awful, so I'm coming into this with an open mind even if the premise is already a bit meh to me. After Enchante, I was kind of hoping they'd split Force from Book so he could try acting with someone else.
EDIT: Nevermind I just saw New's directing (facepalm). Still giving it a chance, expectations in the gutter. Maybe that's a good thing because you can only go up from here.
JoongDunk are how I feel about the SBFive boys, the affection is too deep for me not to love them lol. Though I really wish they'd given them a script to really sink their teeth into, I think they have so much undeveloped (so far) potential. But who knows, the trailers can sometimes be deceiving they're stitched together so quickly.
I'm hoping they'll get to play leads at some point. I wanted to fight when we didn't get to see the relationship of their characters develop in Vice Versa.
Of the series teased by GMMTV for 2023 I think this is my most anticipated, I hope it's good! I've always loved Perth's acting. And Chimon! What a lovely surprise! The two of them together might make for a new star pairing.
Through out the year it was the only show that gave me that feeling, I postponed work related meetings just to…
Same lol I got lucky I was still working from home when this was airing. It would have been torture to miss the live airing because you never knew how soon you would get an unofficial link.
It's set in the same universe, Dr. Bunn works in the hospital this is set in. From what I've heard this also sets up events in the sequel to Manner of Death called Transplant. And of course, written by the brilliant Sammon, so the writing style is the same.
I miss this so much. Probably means it's time for a re-watch, though nothing is going to compare to watching this week after week with the community and all of us gasping on the edge of our seats at the end of each episode LOL. I love that this was the dark horse series of 2022 that snatched us completely unaware and left us gagged and gooped.
The nostalgia this brings up. Classic BL. I wish Kyousuke and Daisuke could have come back as a cameo to bring things full circle. I remember being so sad when I heard Kyousuke Hamao had retired.
