I think the majority of the people who read BLs with rape included are sick people or people who are too young to understand the gravity of the offense.
I remember that I started out young when I first started reading mangas/manhwas/manhuas. Even if they weren't BL, I would read romance with rape or sexual assault. I wouldn't be okay with it, since I knew that the act itself was bad, but I didn't drop the story immediately like I should have. Instead, I would continue reading it until I finished it, when the couple would get together, and all was forgiven between the two. Sometimes, I would also forgive the offender or I would get frustrated, it would depend on how bad it was, which ALL SA or rape is bad, but as I kid, I guess my tolerance was different from how it is now.
Now I'm older and know better, so any mention of rape, non con, or sexual assault/harrassment between the MCs, and I'm dropping it on the spot.
It's either three reasons
A. Young children who don't fully understand what their seeing.
B. Normalization at it's finest and it's seen as 'not as rape's
C. Their sick.

I also had a time where I would continue stories with rape and noncon etc. And as you also mentioned I also sometimes forgave them. Maybe because I was also a bit to young to fully understand when someone really gives their consent. Since most of the times the characters would gloss over it and I would also think it's fine. But like you, I also immediately drop stories with rape now.
And btw thank you for your reply (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Fully agree with you. Because when I was younger I would often not really understand when the consent was given. That was because the characters made it seem okay and not wrong. And yes I agree that people who like rape are sick

We the same person fr
I like rape in it sometimes….
It’s not the fact that they are being rape, it depends on the situation for me
I hope you know, if it's not like 'I want realistic portrayals' I'll be judging you. Because gross.

Was about to say the same damn thing. They're either a sicko, or they need to learn rephrase what they say better
Im not mad (maybe a little bit) at you or something but im just curious. Why would you like it?? i really cant imagine someone liking it. but what would you even like about it??
Why would it depend on the situation? imo rape is bad either way it doesnt matter how it happends its just bad. just my opinion tho
i honestly can't even get mad at these people anymore its just sad that these people view this as normal :((
I often come across yaoi with rape in them and I absolutely hate that. I can't imagine someone liking that story. But the most awful thing is when I scroll down to the comments and I see people say that they really liked it an think it was cute!!?? Like what??? So I'm just curious how these people could like this
