Cheat Kusushi no Slow Life: Isekai ni Tsukurou Drugstore - Vol. 2 Ch. 10 - Handle With Care

The shitty author should get a RL pest harassing him.

@AlmondMagnum It's not a mind-altering drug it merely reduces lust. It's a substance to control hormones not temporarily brainwash people. There's nothing illegal about that.
Actually, I wish we had such a drug in spray format, this could potentially "cure" rapists. With no sexual impulses during the attack, they'd be forced to think on what they were about to do.
If the guy can be fixed from this behavior then the drug would definitely rehab them, then and there. Otherwise, I know a faster drug that could solve the problem immediately, it's metallic-looking, supersonic and works instantly when properly administered to the right organ.

LMAO all the people here getting mad at the dude praying the gay away but we all know that next chapter he will make Viagra for the lord

 

[hikufalafel]

The comments for this chapter have taught me two things.
1. A potion that increases lust is acceptable in fiction but a potion that decreases lust is homophobic.
2. Half of the readers here have terrible reading comprehensions.

 

[AlmondMagnum]

@BloodySorcerer
Reducing lust is a form of mind altering. So's increasing it, or inducing euphoria, or depression, or any of a range of things that aren't mind control. (Which isn't really a thing.)

And while the ethics of using drugs to reform condemn criminals are debatable, doing so to non-criminals without their knowledge or consent isn't. It's not much different from doing the opposite and spiking their food to increase their libido and date-rape them.

 

[hikufalafel]

@AlmondMagnum From the way I see it, the problem here is that some people here has double standards. They are okay with drugs like aphrodisiac appearing in fiction but the moment the opposite kind of drug appeared, they all lose their minds. (Some even went as far as slandering the author by saying he created a fictional gay-cure drug).

 

[Renan_Walheim]

Mangadex comments never disappoint. I know this chapter was going to stir some people.

 

[hikufalafel]

@sjmcc13 I think a majority of it are just attention whores or narcissists. Same thing happened to Tate no Yuusha and Goblin Slayer. They probably just saw these issues as a way to make themselves look good or a way to get attentions and they don't actually care about the issue at hand.

Or maybe some are just genuinely dumb.

 

[twinklecake]

I guess I should lace all my fat friends' food with weight loss pills and my loud friends' food with sedatives and my shy friends' food with testosterone. It can't be morally wrong, after all, since I'm just "fixing" their "problematic" behavior, even if it's without their knowledge or consent.

Seriously, are half the commenters here just Dennis Reynolds' alternate accounts?

 

[AlmondMagnum]

@hikufalafel
And you don't see why?

The "hero" of the story has a problem with a gay man, so he makes a drug that turns people asexual and administers it without the subject's consent. Would the MC have done the same if Elf boy had been Elf girl instead? Would they have talked so much of her sexual orientation? I doubt that.

Sure, technically it's not gay-cure. But it was trying to be.

And the problem isn't with the drug existing. It's with the unethical way the MC's using it. Same as with an aphrodisiac, but in that case, it'd just be a hentai and different moral standards apply.

 

[BoredTears]

The mc needs to also create aphrodisiacs, that's clearly an untapped market for this drug dealer.

 

[Kefrayba]

First, Reiji and the sister tried to chemically neuter the elf brother.

Reiji explain poorly to the sister that he want to give her the drug to chemically reduce his lust. He said "First, you should try to gradually reduce his lust." Implying that there are more steps he was going to do later, at least to the sister.

This was what the British government did to Alan Turing, the man who was one of person who had major role in defeating the Nazis, laid foundation to the current computers, among many of his accomplishment. It was immoral then, it is still immoral now.

The elf brother character was not much different from the crude male character who behave that way toward women. Instead of rough looking ruffians, he was a bishonen elf.

The sister speech bubble in the last panel here:

She specifically said "cure nii-san's man love". She certainly wasn't talking about his libido. Regardless of what Reiji's intention, that's what the sister said. The sister who seems to not understand little else other than wanting her brother in a "Flowers in the Attic" way.

For me, I felt that the author was ignorant of the subject matter. This whole scenario use the typical perception of how straight people see gay men as predatory toward them to make a character that people closed to him wanted to *fix*. This is all played for laugh, with little care to the subject matter and the implication.

 

[hikufalafel]

@AlmondMagnum In the end, this is just fiction. If the genders were reversed, I doubt there would be so much drama and people would probably just laugh it off.
To me, it's nothing more than double standard issue in fiction being blown out of proportion.

Of course it's not acceptable in reality but this is fking fiction. Stop dramatizing everything. It's the same thing with violence and gore in fiction.

@BoredTears

Spoiler

He did create viagra later on.

 

[Lanfear]

i had a feeling this chapter was going to stir up some big brains.

 

[mahtan]

This chapter came with all kinds of unpleasant actions.......

Also Reiji is crazy to just accept that summon like that.

 

[mahtan]

@hikufalafel
Well... it actually was, the murderous girlfriend remember?

There is also that other women demanded to buy the product to force into their husbands without their knowledge and the MC was just okay with it.
This chapter was all kinds of wrong from pretty much everyone involved.

There is also how people would act in the story if Reiji was female and some dude were to try and force himself on "her", we have multiple examples of that already and how it usually end up for the guy in those stories (especially how they are always portrayed as being villains or evil in some way).

I feel kind of sad that the sister didn’t support her brother after finding out he was gay but instead laced his food in order to try to “fix” it.
