I agree with you I never understood people who say it’s a coping mechanism like how is reading about someone getting brutally raped and tortured therapeutic in anyway? Apart from that, that is not a healthy coping mechanism you need to go to therapy and get actual help then to be romanticizing rape.
exactly what I’m trying to say people are really messed up.
The BL community has a lot of variety, but honestly, some parts are super toxic. A lot of the stories normalize non-consensual stuff and abusive dynamics, and it’s wild when people act like it’s no big deal. They’ll defend it by saying, “It’s just fiction” or “It’s my coping mechanism,” but like, nah it’s not coping, you’re just horny. Ignoring how harmful it can be is not it. There are definitely great BL stories with healthy, consensual relationships, but we need to stop romanticizing abuse and recognize when certain tropes go way too far. I’m just saying this cus I think a lot of people should definitely think about this….
