Early 2000s and imo mostly 2010s were crazy in yaoi. Shotacon and rape were everywhere ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
yeah, maybe you're right. I still see those stories, and it seems like it's as much as ever to me, but i think that some sites collect fewer of those, and some collect more. The authors of those stories are often working through their own trauma by dealing with it and expressing it through their art. I'd never want to take that freedom away from them
Well the louder audience are the only ones to speak up so we never know the opinions of silent readers too
yes. I wish that wasn't the case
the best lack all conviction while the worst are full of passionate intensity
Well the rape aside, the plot was ass. Some people seemed surprised the uke and seme fell in love with each other even after he raped him idk why though. It happens 100 percent time in yaoi.
Although the author should at least done a redemption arc for the seme it would at least made up for something.
Well I don't like talking abt these things but some ppl get yk uuuuuuuhhh r@pe kink after getting r@ped and some of em even falls in love to the r@pist Idk why I think it's some kind of psychological illness but yeah if u think about it like that the story makes sense....kinda Ig
I m reader of yaoi mostly , I have read may old work most of them involve rape most of but I never been bothered by it cuz it's just thatz how history of yaoi beeen , but u said something new that when author made something like this means they r suffered same trauma or something I m kinda deep rooted that I thought people just found force in Yaoi exciting I also used found and I still found sometimes it's exciting but only in fictional but I m more bothered by the way people are not silently enjoyin it as fiction but interpreting it into real world that is kinda disturbing way back in 2015 or more before people don't mentioned rape or bothered by rape in Yaoi (it's just my opinion so far in Yaoi world )
thank you. I agree with you
Before two to three years ago Yaoi fans were adult enough to handle a rape element in a romantic plot without getting emotional. If you've already got a head full of steam about rape, a simple device used to consolidate a plot, you're not mature enough to read this genre.
