Sirs, can we just appreciate the fact the seme felt bad after raping him before
Like normally the seme doesn't really emote to it but now Touma felt bad
Also wtf is with everyone saying that any yaoi with rape in it is romanticising rape like the author just showed how shitty the seme was in the beginning but then showed the Touma that isn't an asshole
Rape is horrible, but I dont think this author was trying to romanticise it
um... this is clearly romanticization of rape. the rapist himself did not have to deal with any consequences due to his actions. sure, he felt bad, but that is nothing to appreciate. any sane human would feel bad for raping somebody, and any good person would not do it in the first place. just bc touma felt bad about it does not mean that the issue is all fixed. its one thing to say that it is surprising that Touma felt bad considering that in most yaois, the rapist does not feel remorse / it is not addressed at all. It is something different, though, to say that this story is not romanticizing it. whether or not this romanticization is seen as a problem is up to the readers, but it is CLEAR that this is romanticizing rape.
So I know that conscious person x drunk person is not okay. But what if its drunk x drunk? Is that considered rape on both ends or?? I'm really confused
