I'm gonna explain how it's rape, since I literally have nothing better to do & also maybe it'll help someone know better. also buckle in cuz it'll be reallllly long lol.
first, how does consent work? u can think of consent as FRIES: freely given, reversible, informed, enthusiastic & specific. if any single thing is missing, its not valid anymore. u can search up what the rest mean, but what we need to focus on is reversible. this means that at any point, any single point of the sex, a person has free will to say no. again, any point means any point, and the other person has the obligation to stop.
okay so, in chapter three jaekyung offers a deal to dan. money in exchange of one night of sleeping together. this is a verbal deal, there are no legal obligations on dan. dan agrees, he goes to the bathroom to ready himself. jk then grows impatient, gets him out. around this point dan is having second thoughts, and he tries to say no. remember, even if they have made a verbal agreement, dan has every right to back out at any point. it's his human right. jaekyung replies, saying he "won't send him safe and sound" if he continues to test his patience. this is a threat of violence. scared, dan complies. at this point it would be rape, HOWEVER, jaekyung does give dan a chance to go away on his own. dan says no. hence, no rape/SA has happened at this point.
after this, dan starts to prepare himself. jaekyung puts his dick in. that's when dan starts to say "it hurts" and "stop". what does jaekyung reply with? "keep testing my patience and I'll smash ur head in. Just shut up and take it." threats of violence, coercion cuz you're being threatened with violence, not being able to say no or stop cuz you're scared a professional boxer would beat u up if u do, it's all rape.
now, this is just a yaoi manhwa. it's not that serious, authors never deal w SA appropriately. it's okay to enjoy the manhwa too! but we should call rape for what it is, and not excuse it. if dan was a real person, he would have been a survivor. if u wanna say well, dan was given two chances to go away, he should've left, then that's irrelevant. even if you've given consent a 100 times before, it's still valid for u to say no later on. dan was thinking about the money so he said yes initially, but actually going through it hurt him, and he wanted to stop. jaekyung didn't listen and instead threatened to beat him up at multiple points. he's a rapist, plain and simple. if u think I'm being biased, u can tell the whole sequence of events to chatgpt, and it'll give u an unbiased response on whether or not it was rape. I hate using ai so I wouldn't want u to do that (I think I explained things pretty well ngl) but if u still think I'm wrong, u can try to do it.
there's also another instance where jaekyung is having sex with dan, and he lets that blonde guy see dan naked and all. that's also SA, a crime, since dan did not consent to it and wasn't aware. there are plenty of other instances but even one is enough. hope this makes sense, & apologies for the longgggg yap =))))
AND U ATE!!!! TY FOR THIS super informative and logical
Ok long explanation indeed…… I don’t even remember what I said tbh. I am just going to nod and say yes you are right and I am wrong. I will just leave it at that. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
He didn’t rape Dan. They had an agreement that Dan got paid for. Anytime and anywhere he wanted it he could get it that was the agreement. Dan even asked for more money too. So no rApe was involved. It was just really rough sex everytime. Everytime there was sexy time it was just an transaction (▰˘◡˘▰) yall need to go back n read from the start. Its the same for BJ ALEX it was all transactional no rape (▰˘◡˘▰) one uke wanted money the other wanted love initially…..
