@Rottengirl26 The argument that "fiction affects reality" in this context just doesn't hold up—girl, be real. By that logic, if a story depicts a fictional character jumping across mountains, flying through the air, or surviving impossible stunts, are people suddenly going to run outside and try to do it in real life? Obviously not, because human beings are entirely capable of understanding the boundary between a creative story and actual human behavior. Fictional situations are not a carbon copy of real-life morality, and comparing the two makes no sense. Readers dive into dark, messy, or dramatic tropes in a manhwa for the sake of entertainment and conflict, not because they are trying to "normalize" or endorse real-world atrocities. Fiction is a space for storytelling, not a political manifesto, and treating adults like they can't tell the difference between a comic book panel and real life is just absurd.
I have read way too many yaoi manhwa
