rape feels like a staple of the BL genre at this point and that is utterly depressing. authors just throw it in without a second thought because to them it's not a big deal. it's "romance" or "comedy" or "hot" or whatever. then readers think the same thing and don't bother to think critically about it because they've been so desensitized.
bro i brought up the rape in mingwa’s “Jinx” and someone literally said coerced rape isnt rape..after i sent them a gov offical doc showing different types of rape..which included coercion… they still said it isnt rape lol…. and they loveee to say “fiction doesnt affect reality” yes…yes it does…ur so desensitized to the point where u forgot the definition of rape
oh god, don't even get me started on Jinx. people get so pissed when you point out how present rape is in the story. all i can think when people say shit like that is: if you were on a jury in a court case with the same kind of rape shown in the story, are you gonna be like "wellll technically he DIDN'T rape him because it was just coerced sexual acts AND the guy who did it has trauma so he shouldn't be in trouble for it :("... like.... come on now.
people saying the ML seems suspicious now as if he didn't rape the MC in a public restroom at the very beginning of their 'relationship'
