we are currently at a mark of 0 days without reading an yaoi that has no rape in it, the record is 0 days
yup. and the fact that rape culture is so normalized makes it a really common thing to happen. it is so frustrating bc there you are, reading a potentially great work, and then BOOM a completely out of the pocket rape scene shows up just to ruin the whole experience. like come on, it's not that hard to not include that shit....
well, first of all i wanna thank the author for not making the uke's nipples bright pink, thats rare! but seriously, this is one it's just SOOOO good?! talk about character development, building relationships through dialog, resolving your traumas and very very sexy scenes!!! imo just the ending was a tad bit sudden, got me like "WAIT THAT'S IT? NO PLEASE", nevertheless a great read.
them being a switch couple with mostly kaoru bottoming it's such a beautiful dynamic im actually gonna cry
