But hey, by your tone and how you seems to love dissecting posts

I love how according to you, responding to what people actually say is a bad thing.
And yes, we will continue to go in circles if you make things up and respond to that instead of what I actually said.

And what I actually said is that most manga not tagged rape contains "non-consent" aka rape, so it's easier to just add a tag for consent.

People finding it gross doesn't change the fact that pixel poop is no real poop. Drawing can be as realistic as the real thing, doesn't change that in the end, it's just (virtual) ink on (virtual) paper : it doesn't stink, but the sight can still gross people out. Main point to remember though : it's not real, just a visual representation and no poop were hurt in the process of the drawing.

Did you intentionally ignore the part where I said

I mean sure, people can write, draw or read whatever fetishes or questionable content they want. I'm not against that

and

Scat is just a fantasy, just like rape

Or are you just impulsively responding based on the multiple times that this topic gets brought up on the forums by people who actually are saying what you claim I'm saying? The fact that it does discredits your incredibly weak claim of "overtagging" since there's obviously demand, not to mention all the niche tags such as scat, guro, pee, which are not popular yet somehow exist in the vast array of 252 tags and about 4 times that many pairing tags with more added every time a new anime comes out.

And if you'd actually read the post before you replied you would have seen that I addressed the fact that non-consent, which is rape, is prolific in manga here not tagged rape, which I'm not opposed to, but simply suggesting a consensual tag for those who aren't into that.

and then go spouting rape myths like it's only rape if there's violence, non-consent isn't rape, no means yes, it doesn't matter if they were coerced to say yes, etc

Nobody said that.

False

instead of being tricked or manipulated

That would be non-consentual, which is rape

or unable to resist in the heat of the moment

Unable to resist is most definitely rape

or reluctantly giving in

Giving in without initial consent or under duress is rape. Just like admissions given under duress or torture are not admissible in court

or whatever borderline-arguably-rape-not-rape

And there's the rape denial.

As I've said before though, rape-play irl, including any of the above, is fine with planning and consent, not do I have anything against art rape, something you clearly chose to ignore.

It's also funny when people say it's only pixels yet find pixel feces, pixel urine and pixel guro gross

Matter of preferences and the point was that it is fictional stuff so no point taking it serious.

Fantastic non-sequitor. Or is adding a single tag and using the tagging system taking things too seriously? Cause I'm pretty sure that makes you a hypocrite.

What was the point of this thread again? To suggest a tag or start a argument about representation of rape in fictional stories? I'd swear it was about tag...

YOU are the one who derailed this from

I mean sure, people can write, draw or read whatever fetishes or questionable content they want. I'm not against that

Into

Pixels raping each others is a real problem and I'm glad the law addressed it.

It's funny when people who like rape porn say it doesn't affect their real-live attitudes at all...and then go spouting rape myths like it's only rape if there's violence, non-consent isn't rape, no means yes, it doesn't matter if they were coerced to say yes, etc

TIL, japanese man always, ALWAYS rape their way to marriage.

Stupid tag suggestion, stop projecting and learn how japan has worked for the last decades.

Congrats, you get one troll of the year award

Because there are fewer manga that depict actual, genuine consent than otherwise. I have never actually read any of the scans tagged rape so I have no idea what "criteria" is used, but from what I've seen of content not tagged with rape, it is definitely used sparingly, and most certainly not used realistically (I'll spare everyone a lecture in rape myths).

I mean sure, people can write, draw or read whatever fetishes or questionable content they want. I'm not against that (although even rape fetishes require discussion, pre-planning and, gasp, consent! which could use a lot more representation, but that's the fault of no-one here), which is why I'm not asking for >50% of all the mature content on this site be tagged rape, but the much simpler request to just add a simple tag for those of us looking for more true-to-life depictions of relationships.

Like, seriously. It's not even like the characters are changing their mind in the middle of things, it's almost always quite clearly the very first thing they say when touched/kissed/etc.

"No" means no. Going ahead anyway? Yeah that's rape.
"NO!!" yelled at the top of one's lungs. Probably rape.
"STOP!!" screamed loudly. Pretty sure that's rape.
"Please..I'm begging you...Stop" (direct quote) ...Seriously?

And yeah, it's kinda gross seeing rape over and over and over and OVER.

In fact, it's gross in the exact same way that scat is gross to people who aren't into it. Scat just happens to not be as popular as rape.

BUT.
Scat is just a fantasy, just like rape (hopefully). In fact, statistics have shown that ~45% of straight men fantasize of being raped, while statistics for straight women vary between 50% - 75% (so many studies on women, so few on men, hmmmmmmmm).

So yeah, I'm in the minority, and I accept that. This is why I'm asking for just one simple tag.

Just curious where the favicon/shortcut icon/site icon for dynasty scans is from (e.g. the tiny pic in the tab).

Yay!

I searched the forums but couldn't find anything. I have yet to see any section of the site that my blacklist preferences work in. So far browed in: search results, tags, series (and most other directory sub-categories).

Is it an actual lesbian relationship though, or just another of the quasi-homophobic guilt-ridden, sinful-desire subtext "relationships" that so many yuri authors just can't stop riding to death, cause frankly we could use a little less of that in mainstream.

Wow, thanks everyone! I'll have to check em all out.

And yes, to be blunt, I'm looking for realistic lesbian romances. As I said, guilt over one's homosexuality (usually felt by the MC) is a very much in-your-face theme of so many yuri, I'm looking for manga that doesn't feature that, manga that treats homosexuality/homoromanticism no different than heterosexuality.

The whole "it feels so dirty/weird/wrong/unnatural to like another girl" is getting old.

Correction, it was old before it even started.

Supposedly Japan is fairly unopposed to (but not fully supportive of) LGBT rights, with little influence from fundamentalist religion, though if one were to read yuri, you'd think it was as bad as Russia or something.

Any suggestions for REAL yuri that isn't obsessively preoccupied with keeping up the pretence of the "sinful nature" of gay relationships while somehow still trying to make the reader sympathise with the genuine nature of the romance?
