I don't know about you but if food talk regardless if they want to be eaten or not , I will not eat them.
yeah they drop that line like its some crazy revelation but if you think about it for more than 3 seconds it sounds batshit insaneI don't know about you but if food talk regardless if they want to be eaten or not , I will not eat them.
you're not crazy. the unfortunate combination of needing to have comedy + fanservice being good for sales means that anything broaching sex, which is a pretty deeply serious and sensitive topic, must be delivered in lighthearted comedic tones. it makes it pretty easy to treat things like rape and sexual assault as unserious punchlines. mix with a blindness towards non-straight sexuality and a nebulous concept of consent and you've got prime breeding ground for terrible tropes: men being painted as perverts unable to control their lust, same-gender best friends who harass and grope and it's "totally okay because we're both guys/girls", the gay character that is funny because they are gay and that's weird (sometimes those last two mix and it's especially annoying because it just paints gay people as perverts taking advantage of status quo perception of same-sex friendships), etc. etc.Whenever I heard the MC go "I won't be able to contain myself" I think it's a playful joke about being horny, but for some weird reason it's often treated quite literal and the MC proceeds to essentially r*pe the love interest in a frenzy as they scream about how much it hurts. It's weirdly consistent and really puts me off.
Like 'Extremely Straightforward Boyfriend × Girlfriend' or more recently with 'Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai' but I've seen it in dozens of Manga's. Personally, I really dislike it. But it's so weirdly common and I wonder if it's because 90% of fluffy Manga time skip past this part so the ones that do show it are weirdly rough when they do, usually played for laughs too. Do you guys know what I mean? Am I crazy?

like, yeah. i usually don't eat living things that tell me they don't want to be eaten. i'm pretty sure if that situation happened i would indeed abstain

you'd probably have better luck reading non-comedies that verge more on drama because without a need to make everything a joke they have more of an interested in treating serious things seriously. but that's a shame since non-comedy dramas aren't as fun and fluffy
I only attract pedophiles
the way i interpreted it, is that he wasnt sure that he wouldnt be able to keep his promises he his clubmates/violate the no illicit relationship rules. most of the time, the way you interpret it is the way that i see, but in this case, i think its honestly different. He wants to abstain from sex for his club, and he feels that if he sleeps in the same bed as her, he wont be able to stop himself from having sex.Whenever I heard the MC go "I won't be able to contain myself" I think it's a playful joke about being horny, but for some weird reason it's often treated quite literal and the MC proceeds to essentially r*pe the love interest in a frenzy as they scream about how much it hurts.

Definitely this. She would be thrilled beyond words if he "attacked" her, after all.the way i interpreted it, is that he wasnt sure that he wouldnt be able to keep his promises he his clubmates/violate the no illicit relationship rules. most of the time, the way you interpret it is the way that i see, but in this case, i think its honestly different.

This is of course assuming it was consensual, which i believe he would check before. So its less "We cant sleep together because otherwise I would force myself on you" and more "We cant sleep together because im not sure I could keep my promise to my clubmates"
Uhhh hasn't Uzaki been seducing him for a while now to get him to fuck her? I really don't remember the MC there "essentially raping" Uzaki.Whenever I heard the MC go "I won't be able to contain myself" I think it's a playful joke about being horny, but for some weird reason it's often treated quite literal and the MC proceeds to essentially r*pe the love interest in a frenzy as they scream about how much it hurts.

No, you are remembering it very wrong. Here you goUhhh hasn't Uzaki been seducing him for a while now to get him to fuck her? I really don't remember the MC there "essentially raping" Uzaki.
The only problem there was the size difference. MC too big down there and Uzaki is a short woman.
