I replied similarly on a different comment, but thank you for standing up for those of us who have been sexually assaulted, abused, harassed, and/or raped. It makes me so happy to see people who trying to get this message across as someone who has gone through something similar. Please keep standing up for what you believe in, it takes a lot of courage that a lot of people, including me, dont have. I truly hope people dont hate on you like they did the last post I commented on.
For any and all who want to argue that there's rape in lots of yaoi, I argue the intent of the author is the point. The intent in say painter of the night is to romanticize the idea that Nakyum secretly likes to be taken roughly and thinks that dude is hot and wants it. but the intent of the author here is to show that Edd is feeling destroyed by his life, he has stooped to selling himself and hating himself for it, and despite everything he has always trusted Chang on some level because they grew up together. He felt that Chang was someone important to him, and here is the last person on earth he wants taking him against his will and destroying his last sense of self worth. The author intends for this scene to be upsetting and not sexy. So any of you who claim we're being hypocrites are in a sense right, but also no. This is too realistic to be sexy. Ed is feeling the emotions of real rape victims, he's stopped resisting, he's stopped asking him to stop, he's waiting for it to be over because Chang has destroyed a part of him. All of you saying he tempted Chang are making me feel ill. end of rant.
