just sharing observations points

this is definitely not the worst rape revolving plot on this site just terribly cliche and overused, i don't get why the comments are so heated

the fox guy was transformed into a woman and was offered as a bride to the wolf and they were about to have their wedding night aka fuck when the fox tried to kill the wolf but failed. fox tried to run away but got caught and raped in retaliation(like a punishment)... is it terrible and inexcusable? yes absolutely, but the fox tried to assassinate the chief's son so it shouldn't be as shocking and unexpected in this setting
typically rape is a common excuse in bl just to get to the smut without having to worry about writing the development, however in this case it's kinda what would happen in reality as well. before you get triggered lemme explain why and note this is not me justifying rape or saying it was deserved, im just trying to point out the parallel with real life
in this manga the beasts live in tribal societies where they're led by one person aka the chief so it's not a modern society structure. in retrospect in our own past it wasn't uncommon to send out spies and assassins to try and kill chiefs, kings and nobles and if said assassins were caught they'd be tortured, raped, enslaved, killed or worse... so if anything the fact that the fox guy is alive and well after attempting to kill the chief's son is what's not realistic in this story lol

its obviously not love yet, the wolf guy is keeping the fox on a whim because he thinks all cultures and living beings are equal and there's no need for foxes and wolves to be rivals so there's probably going to be some drama with the tribes
