Its using rape because the writer couldn't think of a creative way to get them together for me.
They could've just made the blackmailer get an embracing pic ( like the mc after being beat up) of the mc and the mc started fights because his pride was hurt, mc gets knocked out and the blackmailer helps him by taking care of his wounds then there would be grounds for liking the blackmailer then the blackmailer confesses and then consent sex.
You like rape?, really?. lazy story writing used to set BL back every time there's a new story about how rape will get you love, do you even understand how horrible real rape is as a problem???? Its lazy writing the author used rape to make it appeal to sick fucks like you, as hard as we try make yaoi better so that people don't have PTSD flash backs when they read yaoi bec its meant to be fun not traumatic, so no your fucked up liking of a man getting raped is no a reason to have lazy writing, sincerely and respectively go fuck yourself.
Glad you spoke bout it also a lot of the yaoi with rape have things similar and suggesting to Stockholm Syndrome(people developing feelings for the people who hurt and kidnap them)
It’s not cool to put a glittery bubble around it and yeah it’s definitely sloppy it the way it is used to “bring characters together”
Sadly the smut is often pretty good after the rapey things so I still read them, I just wish their scenarios were a little different for some of them ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
That rant was about the defense that some people "like rape" in yaoi, yes I know its fictional tho its a fact that the media we consume affects us is many different ways and this site is open to anyone as in children who will see this stuff and think its ok to do to others. working towards better story's and not story's that show sexual assault as something acceptable, or seen as a acceptable way to "love" someone. So ya liking smut isn't the problem its how they present the smut, I've been apart of this site since it came out so I feel like I can call out the lazy writing.
Thank you for your translations and all the work you did, and I'm sorry people about have manners when it comes to people here. I hope the harassment doesn't make daily life harder. Good luck
