The butterfly: nice touch. It really adds feeling to a picture already full of emotion. I like your description and it brings up a good point. I like this picture, especially because within your gallery of bright brilliand pictures, this one slips by the eye in a dark shadow, so I didnt notice it the first three or four times. But going in, it is a really heart felt piece. The emotion is perfect... and his expression is exact. He looks angry and serious like men are usually sought to be, but he has a tear, which brings up your point about the soft side of them all humans possess. Great job.

I remember we were discussing about that one time, and nobody wanted to believe me that men can be raped. FOr freak's sake, it is possible, wish for all that's holy it wasn't, but it is. Fuckin' rapists, they need to be castrated and whipped on the back or something. How can people possibly hurt others in such a disgusting, engrossing,hateful manner? *turns off the news* Why do they do it? Just to feel like they have the power to dominate someone else?! F*ckers I'm so glad you posted this, it proves us right (sadly) and shows the horrible wreck one is after such a hateful crime. His fear, anger, hatred, sadness, rage, fear, and loneliness just boast through off the screen.

I'm really glad to hear that I succeeded on my work here. I was really serious and sad when I did this, and the subject it's self touches me so deep, so I feel their sadness and misery.
I wish I could help those people who have been raped, those innocent people and children, but what could we do, more than just support them and show them warmness and care. That's something what they didn't have at the moment when they was raped. Sadly, there are so many raped people, old people, young woman and men, little boys and girls...But that's the way it has always been...and that makes the subject even more stronger and sad
Sadly, we can't do anything about the soul which has been murdered, but atleast we can try and give them hope.
But I'm still glad to hear that my message here was taken, and many people who commented on this were on the same side as you and me. It is a painfull picture, and I didn't draw it out from pleasure, but I'm glad that this message went on people for good. ^^

It's so sad...
You're right though. Issues of rape and other sort of themes normally tend to be played as the "deflowering" of " feminine" innocence ((not to say that it's a feminist thing, I'm just saying that most times, it's a girl who's the victim)). And men are supposed to be these strong pillars ((**laughs at himself--I said pillars)), but they have pride, sense of duty, and emotions.

Yikes! You have a point. Sure hope I don't get raped. That'd be scary.

Indeed rape is a horrible thing, and I think you portrayed the feeling very well. Nice work.

thats sad, it makes me want to cry. But its always a good thing I think when you tackle the issue hun, because so very few people do. Most people avoid such a controversial issue but its good that you address it and your artwork speaks out so powerfully about it as well. I really hope that the message gets out there and people are finally ready to understand and accept that rape occurrs on either side and its just as bad for either gender.

Poor bishie... *comforts bishie*
You know?? you're right about that.. Women are not the only ones to go through this crap. So many males go through it too, but they are always in denial, and that's why they do it themselves, and keep the viscious circle going... *sigh* ONe of the many bad things in this world, that make me feel helpless that I cannot stop. See, to stop something like this, you need to go deep within the roots of where it started, and erase all that history of abuse. You know what I mean? Abuser, were themselves abused once, and the abused become abusers.. It's a viscious circle..

very dramatic.
I have to totally agree with you there.
I like the way you did, this. Your point is brought over very well. I like the butterfly, it adds a nice little touch. Very well done.

It's so pretty and so sad. Not to mention such horrible things like this happen in prisons as well. Maybe someday we'll let boys breaks out of their enforced sterotypes as we have with girls.
Love,

I almost started crying when I saw this picture... Before even reading the description. The raw emotion conveyed with just the image and text alone was enough. It's very powerful.
Rape isn't something to joke about. It can leave scars both emotionally and physically. And all it takes is one thing to spark a forgotten memory and a person can go into relapse. And it's like being raped all over again...but it's mental torture that can tear a person apart.
I have a friend...he was molested when he was overseas and when he told his family about it, they told him to stop lying and sent him to bed. He has a scar from that, and sometimes when he's showering and he feels it, he'll break down. It's a very scary, very real thing.
Of course it is in human nature to destroy, as well as have the urge to dominate someone weaker when you feel insignificant or your ego is wounded. Some people get off on hurting others to make themselves feel like the bigger man.
All and all, this picture is very, very, very beautiful. And very scary. Definitly a favorite. Thank you for sharing this with us, Korone-san.

This is sad, yet it rings so true. People just seem to think these days only women can get raped and not men too... which is sadly traumatizing for all those little boys who get molested or raped and then people act like what happened to them wasn't NEAR bad enough compared to what happens to girls, oh no no. I think it's because people seem to think just 'cause a girl can get pregnant from rapes (which would indeed wig me out if it ever happened but it's not like they can't get that taken care of or anything with medication/surgery) that men automatically don't have it as bad or as emotionally traumatizing. Which is dumb but then again most people tend to be a lot of the time. =.=

I am totally with you for everything you said. I've been saying that I would prefer to die than be raped for many years( I know it sounds weid). Girls get called "sluts" if they're raped and guys "gay". As if it had been their choice...:~(

Yes, I did.
I'm not perfect with english language, but atleast I try my best at working on it.
The typo is fixed now, as I hope that it's not disturbing anybody again.

I heard this story about a man that called 911 and said "I think I just got raped" and the person at the help line laughed at him and just hung up. .......
Everyone's on this big hype about how forcing women to act a certain way is so bad... but it's just as harmful to men.

OMG that's really horrible horrible, i feel so sorry for the man!
And you are right, men can get raped just as women can, and no matter how tough you look on the outside on the inside we all can be very emotional.

Very deep I agree. The world is so messed up so screwed I wonder how such evil can exist. How ppl can hurt each other kill each other rape each other. I Suppose everybodyβs evil but some are more evil than others. Sometimes its as if were all monsters and that the mythβs and creations were born from human nature. Still great pic so much emotion and feel and the colours suit the topic perfectly.

woodooferret [2003-12-09 14:21:06 +0000 UTC]
this is disturbing...but I supose and know it's also supposed to be...*feels bad*
great pic, though. Gnh..my screen is so dark I can't see all the details, but he looks so..hurt...and wonderfull, you know, in a touchy way...
it's good that people are reminded about the things we really shouldn't forget. This picture touches...and makes a good point (your, text too, I'mean)
Even if the marking of that is forever and the memories and the awfulness and wrongness no-one should ever go thru...it always gives hope that people still find a way (and reason) to live and not all people being raped end in suicide...
This is a wonderful picture, disturbing, but it has so much emotion to it and I really agree with you with the text.

Umm... you have made a big typo. -_-;;
But other than that the picture is great in its own grotesque yet realistic approach.
The mood of the picture fits very well to the subject and the way you have written the text looks great; so dirty and grungy.
It looks like the boy would have wrapped himself in a safe little room inside his head... Being in a room with such small amount of space, yet the room being the only place where he can cry and be weak without having to worry about someone hurting him again.
It would be good if more people realized that men can be raped too, and that it is as humiliating to them as it is for women.

Yes I noticed that I have made a big typo...But alas, my english is not that good.
I fix it right after I have read all my comments, which, I think, will all be saying that 'you have a typo there'.
