It does matter!! So many young girls read yaoi, and with the prevalence of romanticized rape within yaoi, it may cause them to think that if a man is attractive enough and says that he loves you in spite of it all, that it's not really abuse. These types of stories normalize and romanticize rape - something that is never beneficial to society. Rape is never cute, it's never romantic, and it's never ok.
It's time for the authors to take some social responsibility and stop perpetuating convoluted ideals to young impressionable girls.
Rape is rape. Minjae has not consented to sex with him once. Not only is the seme physically abusive, he's emotionally abusive and constantly threatens the uke with death. You can like someone and still be treated poorly. I hope Minjae gets out of this situation.
