Thing is that rape here is depicted in a meaningful way, like obviously it was bound to happen. I cannot agree with the rest tho, rape should never be liked, not even in porn, which is why it’s problematic. Another problematic thing about yaoi here is that they portray rape for NO reason and it’s widely used. Like, rape is just used, no reasons, no dynamics, no plot, just there to provoke a feeling. That’s bullshit. There has to have meaning and consequence to the rape for it to actually be relevant and for it to be OKAY.
Not sure if it’s the official translations or because I’ve read this multiple times now, but I understand much better what’s happening.
It’s also crazy seeing how people are talking about the rape in the comments. It’s there to be sexually titillating. You’re supposed to like it. It’s not real and, if you have a fundamental understanding of the genre, you know rape is a widely used trope in BL. If you don’t like it, don’t read. I liked it. I’m going to go read it again.
