I'll never understand how people get worked up over fiction to this extend. to name an extreme: there are people letting a book, written by a human being, dictate their entire life (the bible etc.) with complex themes. there is the "hear me out" section in libraries and book stores for horny women that'd like to get fucked by some mythological beast (werewolf, vampire, anything under the sun). and let's not forget the parents that thought pokemon cards in the nineties were satanic. what I'm trying to get to here is simple: don't listen to anyone if you believe in your work. it doesn't matter if it's a romance novel, shonen, seinen, horror story, whatever it is, all that matters at the end of the day, is the engagement with your product and the sales numbers to keep the show rolling. we even have the topic of rape in theatrical movies. it's not like it's something new or different.
