@Rip_Batoto_myshayla This is actually an interesting point you've brought up and I'd like to bring in some nuance without shaming. You brought up documentaries and you did that without fully understanding documentaries as a medium and how this manhwa differs. A documentary is written in a specific style with a specific narrative intention. It's basically a reteling series of events. A good documentary has all information available that isn't incorrect or speculative to give a sort of unbiased and non morally charged "this is what happened and why". This stories intention is very different, the most obvious being that it's for entertainment. This isn't me saying entertainment must always be morally righteous and unbiased, that basically the death of the arts as a whole. It does however prevent the usage of the documentary argument, the mediums main purpose and style is simply far to different to compare the two as if they're equals. The second argument is actually about how people work. Humans are actually incredibly bad at compartmentalizing, it's the science behind our empathetic capabilities which are what make us apex predators. Humanities evolution is entirely based on how we understand eachother and that ability extends even to the world of fiction. It's why you cry when your fav characters dies, ur head knows they aren't real but the feelings of grief are as real as real can be. It's why we must be extra conscious of fiction we consume as our brain very easily bleeds it into reality. It's why therapists are so against heavily using dark humor, the constant joking normalizes the idea in your head and the right trigger makes it not a joke anymore. The same applies here. Constant consumption of such fiction will eventually normalize the idea in your head and the chances of you noticing it are low due to how gradual this process is. You would have to be constantly and consciously reminding yourself not to do so which is 1. Something I don't think most readers are doing and 2. Difficult to do as humans aren't particularly designed to do so So the critique of entertainment media with such content shouldn't disappear, if anything we need it more now than ever with the increase of younger generations becoming netizens at younger ages than ever before. Careless handling and normalization of sensitive topics always has and always will be a bad thing. Wether consumers are commiting a moral failure is a case to case situation, and in this case that argument isn't the point of my comment
