but isn’t it still considered rape if they didn’t consent beforehand? even if it is somnophilia wouldnt they have to give permission before they sleep or allow the person to do it in their sleep? it would be okay if they showed a scene of him consenting but they didn’t and that’s why everyone is mad.
Thing about bdsm is that you tend to talk about your limits before hand, and there’s some plays that don’t even need your consent in the moment because you already established what was okay and what was not at the beginning. Given, I understand your point about the author showing them having a talk about it and how he was okay but, if she did that for everything, a lot of scenes would lose its meaning and the book would be insignificantly longer. Just assume he had consent and you’ll sleep better at night, cause nowhere in the manga we have been given the assumption there was no consent, so why doubt it now?
the book wouldn’t be longer. all they needed was a few words or a few lines discussing the limits of what they’re doing. that’s all! . this is why many people were misunderstanding and it is very uncomfortable because he never gave permission and we never saw him give permission. if we soon figure out that he consented to it before then it’s all good !!
I Donno if y’all forgot this is a smut bdsm story with kinks. Y’all so quick to say rape. just stop reading if you think that way
