You're part of the problem then. You even censored the word. But to answer your question, some rape scenes in some Yaoi mangas are like gang bangs and drugging the uke and hitting the, and usually there a multiple rape scenes. This manga is just one rape scene that doesn't include these hardcore elements. Don't read manga that contain rape scenes if you're going to overreact about it. It's just a story. There is usually a viewer discretion near the summary area of a manga.
No, you're very much one of the problems if you believe that r*pe should be normalised in any way. Even r*pe kinks involve consent beforehand. Meanwhile, the lesser of two evils is still an evil, in case you don't know. R*pe without multiple scenes, aggressive rejection, drugging, and/or ganging is still r*pe. Sure, this is just fiction, but it glosses over the idea so much, and thinking that it's okay is sickening.
Also, I censor the word to avoid triggering anyone who sees these comments, but I suppose you don't care about that.
I'm not saying it's okay at all. The rape scene in this manga contributed to character development. I'm not going to cry about a rape scene. There were rape warnings in the comments, tags, and on the chapters too. If you can't handle rape in a story, then don't read it. You're probably a minor, and shouldn't be reading these types of stories anyways. You're just seeing the surface level of things, but there's always a reason for these scenes.
Once again, I don't believe rape should be normalized in anyway.
Also, censoring the word doesn't do much at all.
No, the r*pe scene very much didn't need to happen if the author weren't trying to rush an early sex scene.
I don't care if you're fetishising r*pe, if you get turned on reading r*pe scenes, or believe it's okay just because it's fiction. I'm saying that it shouldn't be looked over so easily because it's the ML to the MC, because they're endgame, and/or because MC enjoyed it.
Also, there were zero r*pe warnings in the summary, in the tags, and at the beginning of the manga. NSFW warnings do not equal r*pe warnings, because, surprise! Sex isn't always r*pe.
Don't suddenly act reasonable and say "once again". Not once in this thread beforehand have you said r*pe shouldn't be normalised. Why do I know this? Because I do my research before starting a debate about something that shouldn't even need a debate. Your responses are perfunctory and mediocre at best.
So what if censoring the word "doesn't do much at all". At least it does something, and at least I'm trying somehow.
this is one where you can go back to before this disgusting generation infected yaoi. rude people who read only to find fault. their comments insult the author, and they think that's okay. It's not. It's offensive. O.Y. is one of the best of the best. Fans were always gentle and respectful before the worst people on earth came here to p*ss on every single respected and loved author and their work. They're destructive and hateful all under the banner of "no like rape" get some manners. If you can't handle a soft rape element in a story without scolding like a nun and ranting like a fire and brimstone preacher, you're too immature to read it. This is a sweet, funny comedy. try to remember that
