since everyone's talking about it
y'all need to learn the difference between psychological horror and romanticization.
stories such as nii-chan, killing stalking, color recipe etc. are psychological horror. although nii chan and yui do get together in the end, you can see that yui has lasting trauma and that hes trying to convince himself that their relationship isn't wrong.
stories like sadistic beauty, and warehouse are romanticization. Stories where rape, assault, abuse, stalking, and etc. are used as a mere plot device to get the main characters together are the ones everyone should be mad about. in quote on quote "yaoi", rape tends to be a plot device. MC 2 rapes or sexually assaults MC 1 and they end up together at the end without MC 2 ever facing repercussions.
tldr/in conclusion: psychological horror is just a genre and is great when done well. this should be separated from reality. Romanticization is a different thing and people are allowed to get mad at it. people should be able to compare this to reality.
