Not to kink shame, but thats all there is to it. A fetish. there are numbers of those who gets off of rape but wont actually commit the crime nor wish to be a victim of it, in real life, it all boils down to their mental state and if the person can trully separate between fiction and reality.
If so, i dont see any problems with them continue enjoying their kinks, and those who enjoys it but also have enough self awareness would know better than to call it "romantic". BUT i do hate it when BL works keep reusing the same tired ol rape trope and make the most nonsense out of it.
Seme raping the uke but uke forgives him cause he did it out of "love" is crap. Thats why eventhough i do like omegaverse, theres a lot of series where their "romance" was kick-started from rape. Is just dumb , boring and unoriginal. An archaic cliche that should've been laid to rest in the 21st century, yet Something manga, manhua and manwha all share and cant seem to let go off.
(Disclaimer : this is just my opinion. I have no issue towards readers themselves who likes the rape to love trope, i just have issue with the trope itself)
I know it's bad, I don't support rape or anything. But ngl this manwha was kinda good, not in a romantic way of course that would be really fucked up but yeah i really think that it was best that he was actually alive to prolong his suffering but it's kinda sad that sheep mask died:(
