Thanks for sharing this insight. That might be it.
But from where I see it, it's even worse. "rape" is no joking matter. No one should joke about being raped. The fact that it could be considered even for a second as leverage for manipulation is a huge problem. The supposed rapist's reputation and self esteem are also at stake.

why do u guys believe that he raped him when u don't know the whole story behind it? have u guys thought about whether the uke planned all of that for the mc to feel guilt and take responsibility for him? it's suspicious to think about that the uke is still fine w/ him after that rape thingy they were talking about.
Ok, This time I say no. NO!
I usually don't understand when people see rape where I don't in BL, but there it is clearly stated that it was rape. And now I have to believe that the so called victim is fine with it??! Then in that case, it's not rape mf, it's called rough sex or bad sex or refusing to admit to yourself you accepted to go that far.
Do you know how traumazing rape is??! You don't try to spend time with your rapist. You don't want to see them. You don't want to breath the same oxygen. You're not fine with having been raped. It drives me crazy how people use that word so easily now when actual victims are suffering. Even people who eventually get over their rape still have nausea just crossing path with people just looking like their predator.
The whole "you rape me let's be friends", I don't buy it. I never will and I hate that they're insinuating there that it is perfectly possible and "fine"!!
Sorry. I needed to rant.
