People like SA until its portrayed as the violent humiliating crime it is, and then suddenly its "unnecessary" and "too dark". Its not that people dont like SA its that they dont like the right representation of male victims of assault, nobody wants to see the self-loathing, embarrassment, shame, depression and fear that comes along as a result. They like to live in the BL portrayal of assault where seuxal violence is minimised, dismissed, romanticised and or sexualised. The reality is that both us straight guys and the gay guys hate sexual violence and the way the media presents it is disturbing to say the least. Sexual assault is never okay. Its humiliating and degrading. Truly one of the worlds most vile crimes.

You took the words right off my mouth dude. You’re completely right. Such as , from what I heard, the popular yaoi (same author as bj Alex) the main character is of course similar stature as Yeonwoo and yet he got sexually assaulted by the ML and it’s SO easily overlooked and romanticized by the community when it comes to male victims. As long as it’s portrayed HOT, it’s all right(⊙…⊙ ) as long as the SA is portrayed hot when it comes to male victims (mostly yaoi) it’s all hand and dandy and sexy Σ(  ̄□ ̄||)
It really all took a feminine male character being SAd for y'all to open your big mouths. If anything this is raising awareness not only about SA in Korea but also male victims and you guys complain about how "unnecessary" this is and how the author should've sticked to the bullying. So raising awareness about bullying is nice but if it's about SA it isn't? If it's a triggering topic, just drop it. That's usually what the warnings at the beginning of the chapters are about. You'll live.
