Well, the problem is the excesive use of those kinds of drama. It's hard to find anything under the "drama" tag that doesn't contain rape, cheating or some kind of abusive crap. There's other things to write drama without falling in those topic. Coming out to family? Overcoming an illness? Death of an ex lover? I find all of those way more interesting than the rape trope, honestly. Especially because rape almost never is written and portrayed the way it should (a traumatic experience, something bad).
The lack of imagination it's frankly alarming.
seriously i'm sick of plots with nasty characters that discriminate, take advantage or physically or psychologically try to hurt the main character in the yaoi mangas.... isn't there a yaoi manga with just lovey dovey happy environment for the couple to be happy being in love with one another? Without cheating, without raping and without stupid trying to tear them apart.
