Okay, but in Low Tide in Twilight, the uke also forgives his rapist and stays with him, doesn't he? (￣∇￣")
No? Have you read it? He’s adapted to the situation and doing the best he can for his brother, but nowhere did it say he forgave him. Especially in the latest chapters. Also the seme in that one genuinely changes and realizes how scummy he was, not just bc he likes uke but bc he realizes what a trash person he was at his core. Like even if uke rejects him for good and leaves him, the seme wouldn’t repeat past actions with someone else/ever force himself on someone else because he’s fundamentally changed as a person. Cannot say the same for 90% of other semes that start as awful garbage assaulters.
Yeah, I have read it and well, it's just another omegaverse where the victim falls for his rapist eventually. I don't believe in this 'gangster red-flag/rapist genuinely becomes a a nice person' thing. I only accept the redemption arc because it's fiction and simply I just switch off my brain cells while reading that story and enjoying the good art. The seme is a creepy person. The uke should have left the seme a long time ago, but there wouldn't be a multiple season story. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Agreed!
Low Tide in Twilight really spoiled me for omegas who do more than just cry and take with 0 attempts at resistance. So tired of the “I should resist… but it feels so good” trope. Like if you wanna just draw porn, draw porn. No need to waste our time with a forgive the rapist plot line bc “he’s a little nice now” knowing the rape will be brushed under the rug and no real repercussions will befall the rapist. So tired of MLs who fundamentally see nothing wrong with rape. They only slightly feel a little bad about it after they start to like the person they’ve been raping, not because they grew and think rape is bad.
