Okay I haven't gotten into CSM cuz I'm lazy as fawk and have a hard time getting into manga/anime but I am vaguely aware of it and the themes of it and can I just say. The way people are reacting to the new chapter is exactly how people react to real life victims of sexual assault. See lrb

#I'm just fucking saying even without reading it #From what I'd heard I've resonated w Denj at least to some degree and sympathized w him for that very reason #Like oh of course you fuckers can't handle witnessing actual real sa. Of course you can't.#Anyone who has deeply shocked by it is fine like that's an understandable reaction to have #But to anyone who's saying the manga's bad all of a sudden or going on a billipn rants of how 'problematic' it is - grow the fuck up.#It's meant to be disturbing. It's meant to feel awful. It's meant to be gross. It's a horrific fucking thing #The author clearly isn't trying to depict it as anything fun or palatable either. It's scarring. It's traumatizing.#The chapter makes you feel that way because that's how you're supposed to fucking feel when you witness/experience something like that.#Just because media makes you feel negative emotions does not mean the media itself is inherently flawed.#If you want easily digestible palatable sanitized stories then there are a billion other fucking stories you can read.
