I really don’t understand the constant use of the “have sex with your bf after assault or attempted assault” trope in BL. Was hoping we’d escape it here

    same. I was so disappointed when they went in that direction. like what....the focus should be on comforting your partner and just helping them feel ok. why do you have to have sex?

    Well I feel like this is different because Doyun was in heat. I feel like there was more of a “reason” this time.

    I can understand it when it is done properly? Like, some people try to overwrite their trauma with something more positive. I totally get what you're talking about though, it is a common theme in BL. Rape in general needs to stop in BL mangas DX

    True. It could be argued for.

    Right? They should be cuddling or doing something else

    Absolute truth.There’s too much rape in BL mangas and it’s even more annoying seeing it when there are so many other ways the story could play out.

    The only thing I could think of are pheromones. He felt sick being touched by others besides Taehan so even the cuddling still had him feeling iffy. Tbh I don’t like that trope either but in terms of this story- alpha x omega dynamics I get it.
