peyton, the simple fact you are such an avid fan of these stories and would probably jump at the opportunity to read anything new with a similar plot supports these industries by encouraging acceptance and the normalization of rape and sexual violence in these stories. if people did not read it, there wouldnt be so much of it. its the same thing with genres like “lolicon” or illustrated CSEM. think about how unbelievably common and practically mainstream that stuff is. would it be like that if it had a much smaller amount of readers? probably not. authors meet the demand of their consumers, paid or not. people like you want rape in your stories, and you get it. honestly, i do not hold judgement for you because i think you are misguided in many ways. i can also assume you are probably pretty young and impressionable. i encourage you to seek out productive manners of coping. you deserve better than this and continuing to read this stuff will keep you going in circles.
hey, thanku for everyth u said, i really do appreciate it. thanku for advicing me. however, the thing is, i never started this argument for myself. i know im fucked up. i never tried to justify myself. if u read all my replies, you'll know that. all i wanted to make known was that its wrong to say that indulging in this fetish or kink or whatever is ALWAYS unhealthy. there are survivors who are very into cnc, and they lead very happy lives! a lot of them face judgement, and thats mainly why i wanted to tell op that no, u can be wrong. i personally know im beyond redeem, however not all of them are like me. for some reason, everyone is bashing me, when i never even tried to say im doing smth good. i know im not a good person. idk whay yall are getting from reminding me of it again. and again and again. or telling me things about myself when i never asked for them.
I like BL, but there’s a limit to it. The genre itself isn’t the problem, but the way people romanticize toxic relationships, abuse, and even Stockholm syndrome is seriously messed up. And let’s be honest, calling it a “coping mechanism” is just lying to yourself. If you’re enjoying stories that glorify rape and manipulation, you’re not coping — you’re just horny. And if you really think consuming that kind of content is helping you, maybe it’s time to see a therapist instead of hiding behind this excuse. At the end of the day, normalizing this stuff only makes the BL community look worse. You can enjoy BL without supporting the toxic side of it.(anyways writing MORE cus why not)
