There's already enough of that in the author's previous work, enough to traumatize almost an entire community of readers. Here, it's so surprising that we have an amazing, EQUAL, from enemies-to-lovers relationship, a gradual development at that, that I'm certain a majority wished this could last without gangrape or rape coming in the way.
I didn't say I wanted gang rape for christ's sake! I said attempted gang rape. How do people blow right past the essential word in a sentence and go right for the ugliest interpretation? Attempted means that some guys are so attracted to Doyun that they sort of corner him not knowing themselves what they're going to do, then doyun fights them off or just scares them off with his powerful way of talking, and Taehan joins him. We get to see everyone being so so drawn to Doyun in all his glory, and we get to see outraged jealous gorgeous Taehan coming to his gorgeous lover's side, and we get to see how devoted and powerful they are to each other. None of that is anything anyone would have any reason to get all hysterical and traumatized over.
You don't have a story if you don't have a problem. This would be a good problem that would show off Doyun and Taehan and be a good fun read. So you should really pay more attention and not be so reactionary so we can get along. You don't have to look at
things in their worst possible light.
I don't really care about equality. I really like a small cute uke with a big dominant beautiful seme. I just really liked tough-guy Taehan of the first season. and I love doyun, but I wish he wasn't being called hyung and acting all like he's in charge. I know it's not fashionable to feel that way, but I do
It leaves psychological wounds,that take longer to heal than the physical ones,just why in the world would you want our mc to go through something so disgusting and horrifying?? Even if he can defend himself only if he isn't in heat,it's still disturbing. And if he goes into heat it'll be obnoxious and awful,what if Taehan arrives a little late,and they already have groped him? The couple will suffer psychology. So no the fucking thanks.
Taehan arriving late is your idea. not mine, so please take responsibility. I think that if you don't get raped, rape doesn't leave psychological wounds. That seems obvious to me. My scenario is not disgusting or horrifying. In my scenario, he doesn't go into heat. In my scenario, the guys just know they like him. They haven't groped him. Just no, no!
Have you ever been raped? If not, why are you being so reactionary? How do you know how someone else would feel?
So no the fucking thanks, you know?
If you think attempted rape doesn't leave psychological wounds, you don't know what you're talking about. When it happened to me, it took me months to even get out of my house and talk to friends normally. It took everything I had to even open up about it. I felt ashamed and guilt, wondering what I had done wrong, and I wanted nothing more than to block that horrible memory away from my life. Comments like yours, saying that attempted sexual assault doesn't leave scars, shows me why I hate talking to ignorant people. I'm done, good day.
I'm going to show what an anon said on page one after they couldn't find my comment. I hope they don't mind I reposted it:
Anonymous commenter:
"I've been raped, injured, police involved, orders of protection, police advocates, and family cruelty. I've never mentioned this anywhere online before, but I'm fed up.
I've also been sexually harrassed in five of the six jobs I ever held, and it was no small thing like a comment I didn't care for, though that happened, too.
I like yaoi. I don't feel the least bit traumatized by any of the things so many people go completely insane over on these comment sections. I don't feel my ptsd surging up when I read about questionalble consent, rape, or sex seduction scenes.
What bothers me and makes me remember my real life trauma is when someone in a comment section gets this aggressive against someone who is trying to express creativity, who explained what they meant, and who came up with an idea. If it were done right, the OP's idea could be funny, sexy, and fun to read. The OP obviously means no harm and doesn't sound ignorant to me.
What makes me remember all that I went through is when people get snotty and self-righteous and group together to display multiple acts of verbal cruelty towards someone who didn't do anything of any real maliciousness. That's what retraumatizes me. not the suggestion of rape, not the mention of rape or attempted rape, or non-consent because they are stories and ideas and are nothing like my experiences. Don't multiply victimize the OP over having an idea. Just come up with your own ideas and show some collaborative willingness and good will, and I wish people would stop getting so nasty about rape in stories instead of trying to really understand and help real victims' individual pov's."
thank you so much, anonymous. I can't thank you enough.
I think it's you who shouldn't be so defensive. I was explaining why readers were triggered over this particular comment - there was so much rage over the author's previous work; it was rape, rape and rape all the way, that when this title came out, there was surprise and delight at how sweet and normal this couple is. I think the last thing people would want to see is a revisit of the previous mess, hence why some would be triggered over what's a light hearted comment from you. It'll be good if this author stays in this trajectory, because who knows what she would do if she heads to the rape path sigh.

This is what I hoped for: no pregnancy, return to work, other Alphas come on to Doyun (I'm speculating on the come ons.) Chaos ensues. yay! Before the end of season one, I said that this is where I hoped the story would go.
I would love to see an attempted gang rape - Alphas out-of-control over Doyun, cuz he's so hot, catch him behind the boxes. Taehan comes to help him out of it. Chaos ensues. LOL
