Look if it isn't Lex spitting facts
At your service.
Yes!! I am so sick of r*pe culture being normalized in yaois just because the victim got an erection and came ugh
What grossed me out the most is how romanticized the scene was. How blatantly obvious the author made it that to them this is "okay" and "romantic", as displayed by how much attention was given to that cheek stroke. It's disgusting. You can't write sexual assault and disguise it as two people making love. It's not. No matter how much you try and polish it, rape is still rape.
Exactly. The uke kept begging him to stop because he was being assaulted and then the next moment the author tried to romanticize it with that cheek stroke. Utterly disgusting ew.
POP OFF QUEEN FACTS FACTS JUST FACTS
he uses he him maybe dont use fem terms on someone who hasnt said its okay?
I'm so sick of reading lines like those and seeing cases of victim shaming and blaming in BLs. It drives me completely nuts seeing people who falsely believe that an erection is a physical indication of consent. It is not.
Physical arousal is actually quite common in sexual assault scenarios involving BOTH male and female-bodied victims. Sexual assault victims are often ashamed and confused at how their body responded during an assault. It's frequent for men who are sexually assaulted to have an involuntary or forced erection or ejaculation. Not to mention the fact that muscles in the anus often relax when a man is being raped. This does NOT mean that the victim "wanted" to be sexually assaulted.
So what if he got hard? It means nothing. This is nothing more than the way the body responds to an uncontrolled situation. When a person feels helpless, they'll often become wet/hard. It's only a result of their body preparing them for what could become a situation of rape. It is perfectly possible to get wet/hard anytime we are nervous or scared, but this bodily reaction has nothing to do with genuine arousal, it's merely our body's way of preparing us in case a rape is about to occur, in order to lessen the damage and protect us. As contradictory as it may sound. And some rapists enjoy making their victims bodies respond to the assault as a sign of dominance. These rapists work to get a physical response from their victims. They have learned how fear and anxiety can correspond to other forms of heightened arousal and they exploit the connection. And clearly, Maetel's one of those kinds.
It's not sexy. It's not cute. It's not "okay because he came" neither was he "just playing hard to get", let alone does his touching Maetel's face whilst it happened take back the fact that he said no yet still was forced into doing it. This is rape. Not love. Stop romanticizing it already. Anyway. On that note, fuck him.
