same; it was really unsettling
In a real-life, I don't think the relationship would have ended this way and that's why I can't fully enjoy this ending.
I know people say that it''s fiction, but there are things that invoke feelings that you can't ignore. You can have rape in a story just don't go around normalizing it.
You can have a romantic smutty yaoi without passing off rape as something normal. EX. Make Me Bark
If it were me in the situation, I would’ve lost my trust in the seme, which is normal in real life. The way people deal with stress can become a habit and I would be scared the seme would do it again. Also I agree with you with normalizing rape in yaoi, it’s just unnecessary in my eyes, just not needed
I really didnt like that the seme forced sex on the uke, I mean it’s not rape since the uke accepted it but it made me sad. It was somewhat resolved but hurting someone you love because of stress is not ok. It made me angry that he even realized he was hurting the uke but ignored it, but at least he made the uke feel good in the end... I still feel unsatisfied though.
