I just dropped a story where overwhelming majority readers were calling the top a green flag and saying he's so respectful and wasn't forceful at all and hoping that kind of love finds them irl, all just because he didn't penetrate the bottom against his will. The top was in fact crossing all boundaries though, trying to force kisses that were rejected, then kissing the neck next because "you said no kisses and this is not your lips". Just overall coming off coercive and pushy. The bottom was obviously a pushover who keeps allowing it but that's besides the point.
People fr consider anything a green flag just because the bar is rape. As long as it's not rape, they're green. Ong the standard for being a good guy is in hell (￣ε(#￣)Σ
Had the same conversation with someone a few days ago. He's a "green flag" they say, except he keeps pushing every single boundary short of forced penetration and seeing what he can get away with. Saw someone comment on how much they loved a manga and how they loved the fact it didn't have rape when, in fact, it very much did on the first chapter, during the characters' very first encounter with the MC himself calling the ML a rapist.. but it wasn't rape for these people because MC was too drunk and disoriented to resist, therefore it's consensual. This is why I never take people seriously when they cry that it's just "lines on paper," "fiction!" when it's clearly fucking up their perception of consent. Fiction doesn't exist in a vacuum.
yesterday someone was going around saying jk from jinx isn't a rapist cuz Dan is a grown man who has the ability to say no. they literally could not digest the fact that coercion is *not* consent. jk even rapes dan when he's drugged but they ignored that part too. I mean, sure go ahead and enjoy jinx all u want, but at least admit something for what it is.
I think people don't know that not just penetration is rape. Violating your personal space like that, just using their way around your boundaries is sexual assault because you don't want to.
This is insane because we are talking about real people not knowing this and being rape apologists we are going 50 years back
Girl this is the new generation of teenage or late teen fujoshis. They will grow up don’t worry
I'm tryna get into straight stuff. Rec me a simple story that's easy to follow and is complete. Don't care about the premise, anything topic is fine. Okay if it's 18+ but just not straight up smutty 24/7 (no SA content). I needs the plot to still shine through. Thanks juseyo (づ￣ ³￣)づ
-Romance 101
-positively yours
Koudaike no Hitobito was a really fun read for me. More comedy-oriented, tho. I know you said complete stories, but Skip to Loafer is a gem that's worth checking out in the straight romance genre even if it is ongoing (not for much longer I think)
oop i shoot myself in the foot by not mentioning it above and forgot i dont do love triangles either. so sorry!! i looked up Koudaike no Hitobito and saw 3 characters on the cover. im fine it it's just a lil third wheel then they're gone in a swoop but lmk is it more love triangle orientated? thank you! i prob wont read it if so.
ill add Skip to Loafer on your word. will read when complete :)
This witch of mine is a collection of stories based in a singular world and is one of my favorites. No smut or anything, and most of the couples are rly wholesome. It can get a little sad… but the plot is rly amazing. 10/10 for me
Not at all! The three on the cover are siblings and the protagonist is dating the guy with the short hair. I think there's a bit love triangle at one point but it doesn't involve the protagonist
pride and prejudice lol
LMFAOOO
A few of these are more plot centered over romance

It's so sad we've come to a point where when asking for BL recs you have to specify "no rape" it's gotten that bad huh.
Edit: not saying asking for this specification is bad. It just means so many BLs have rape and it's so normalized and given in recs, that people have to put out the specifics.
Exaclty. I srs can’t wrap my head around the fact that it’s so normalized and romanticized atp it’s acc crazy
I just finished an exam I didnt study for and considering it was proctored and I still managed to scrape by with a 79.5%

Thank you! I'll enjoy! (づ￣ ³￣)づ
i feel like most mpreg ive seen so far it's either accidental (condom broke, too hasty & forgot to use protection, etc), or someone was assaulted which led to the unwanted pregnancy. is there any mpreg where they plan and have consent to get pregnant?
I love this one! A total favorite.
Any bl where theyre cocking and the bottom is too loud so the top covers his mouth and keeps ramming?
the 'sexually abused as a child' to 'gay sex worker' pipeline needs to be studied. a coping mechanism? sure, but then write it properly? it just feels like an excuse, especially when written as 'i became gay after getting raped by a man when i was just a child with an underdeveloped brain to even process the situation'. using sexual abuse on a child as their gay awakening is sick.
No that’s actually horrendous what
and they show explicit scenes of the child’s abuse in a eromanga …
ik a lot of s*x workers go down that path because of CSA, but i feel like if its used for fiction it should at least be written correctly. and like another reply said they show the scenes too, personally i think thats a bit odd when they show those parts.
What's your best feel good story? A plus if it has sprinkles of smut.
I wanna read something that makes me feel light headed and sleep like a baby.

Literally like a freshly baked cupcake right out of the oven with extra sprinkles, I cannot recommend it enough, the actual physical book is great too, shame the author has long since abandoned the prequel to it though.
Rainbow city :3 (SA in chap 3, best to skip)
Thanks all! (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Yall is it true that Byeon Wooseok is gonna play Sung Jinwoo in Solo Leveling live action? Good luck CGI-ing that hunk of 6'3 into a pathetic twink for the intro lmao.
Nope it's not true
Wait solo leveling is getting a live action?? How long have been living under a rock?? (kinda sad now I wanted nam joo-hyuk to play and jinwoo tho)
