I really liked your comment! I think you're absolutely correct and this is an important conversation that needs to be had, even if its just fictional! Eunsoo not only couldn't consent but also didn't consent to sex with Hajun. It seems like some people in the comments don't understand that nonconsensual sex is... bad and shouldn't be rationalized?? Or just because its a bl, it doesn't need to be criticized. But anyway, this is probably going to be glossed over in the next chapter anyway though bc that's just the trope I guess :(
So imma explain this since y’all for some reason cannot grasp the concept of rape.
Uke went to the bar to meet someone to get over Hajun. It did heavily insinuate he wanted a one night stand.
He rejected multiple people before eventually he was extremely drunk and was in the right mind to consent.
Hajun stops him from going with dude who resembled him and takes him home instead. Uke is trashed still when he regains consciousness. He is not in the right mind, meaning he cannot give consent.
No consent = rape.
‘But he went to a bar to get fucked’ — and? Consent can change. With that logic, any of the guys he rejected could have come back when he was to drunk to think straight and suddenly have ‘consent’. Even if you’re in the middle of sex, if the other person wants to stop, you need to stop. They are no longer giving consent at that point and continuing is rape. No consent is rape, whether vocal or not.
This is a pretty common trope in bl, but the arguments on this particular story are unbelievable. It literally doesn’t matter why he went to that bar. That’s the same baseless argument as ‘they were asking for it’ when women dress in anything that could be considered provocative.
IF you want to argue about the possibility that this isn’t rape, the main question is “would he be doing this if he was sober?”, which, from what we know so far, is more likely to be no— but that could be circumstantial. We won’t have a clearer perspective until it’s addressed through the uke’s thoughts/feelings (if it’s even addressed at all).
