True at least we're aware. But I'm not rly disappointed cuz it happens so often, I'm just a bit worried about the young, impressionable audience out there that aren't aware and actually think it's ok. Cuz I was one of those young people back then that thought romanticized rape was well... romantic... (and back then shoujo manga was full of that shit) And it really messed me up. One time I had to explain to someone on this site about sexual consent and what it entails (with linked source ofc) cuz they didn't understand why manipulation was rape when in the end "they enjoyed it"...yikes
I mean I don't kink shame as long as CNC is done with properly, and I feel like people who actually understand and practice safe CNC don't get offended or try to fight people on the internet for calling these types of stories as rape (bc they know). But there are some people that really go on the defensive like, "how was that rape? It's not". Like did we lie?? You can tell that they don't know what they're talking about. I blame our education system for just teaching us the bare minimum of sexEd, but the consent part, prep, kink awareness, everything else they're were like, "figure it out yourself or just don't do it". Like there's nothing wrong with not knowing things cuz I was one of them too, so I try my best to be patient
i like my yaoi with a large side of consent, not while they’re intoxicated/out of their right mind.
sorry bby
