Comment by SIDRA on Path of the Shaman - Chapter 9

@SIDRA   So real, I genuinely hate the how prostitutes are treated as something positive when in reality this are all just girls stuck in their for the rest of their life due to their family debts☹️☹️☹️

And the alcohol stuff too.

@SIDRA I get it to a degree. Prostitution wasn’t a good thing and it often exploited and abused the women involved. But I also do understand the point of adding it. Often in history, prostitution, especially in China, Japan, and Korea also held a lot of weight in history. I think more authors should include the downsides and the cruel parts of it. As far as I’m aware, this manga hasn’t necessarily made any detailed parts going deeper on the prostitution so far. It’s something that still exists even though it’s not as industrialized. People, especially teens, will be exposed to it no matter what. I mean, if you look at it in terms of East Asian history, that’s all that ever really motivated people. Love was rare, since marriages were often arranged. Nowadays, we have things like technology, education, and relationships they didn’t have back then. People, especially people who were in the army, were motivated by alcohol and prostitution. Even if it’s a bad thing that happened, it’s still important to history. I’m not trying to justify prostitution. I’m just trying to justify the existence of it in fictional settings.
