So it goes. Yaoi in particular is not popular without dark stuff. You can get away with the cute stuff in yuri or het stuff but nobody wants to see two guys just being cute and happy. Lol
Wtf lots of people want that. Very few people are into rape, most just shrug and accept it because it's everywhere and start spouting the same nonsense 'it's not real so it's ok' 'rape is part of yaoi' BULL SHIIIIIIT
It may not be your cup of tea or mine but money doesn't lie. These themes don't repeatedly pop up specifically in the yaoi genre (manga, games like Dramatical Murder) for no reason. It sells. It may appear in other genres too but it appears most often in yaoi. The healthier stuff is less popular, rarely gets an anime, and there are barely any rape free (unless censored) BL games.
i feel so bad for the uke
the rape seen broke my heart
he honestly thought the other guy was super nice and trying to help him
and then that asshole fucking rapes him ╥﹏╥
