Rape to advance or add substance to the plot and rape for the sake of porn is different after all...
Haha, tbh to me all those "rape"in usual yaoi looks more like rape roleplay sex scenes.
But here we see Seth,a victim actually suffering and not just him but also others and its not potrayed as something romantic and Seth is NOT enjoying it. I really love it when stories potray rape and rapist like how it actually is.. horrifying, painful experience and is Disgusting. Even tho its painful to watch and i wish these scenes aren't long and shown so explicitly.. its necessary i suppose..

yeah that’s what it is, very few times is rape in yaoi treated seriously or as a real plot point. so many times it just obviously comes off as a weird sexualized version of it, or some kind of role play, because like halfway through the person being assaulted will get “into it”. and this obviously isn’t the case here. i think that’s why it’s so easy to be “numb” to rape or non-consent in most yaoi, and it’s more shocking when it’s portrayed realistically like this.
but like rape and non-consent is really common in the yaoi genre, and even so, this chapter was still really hard for me to read. i don’t know how to explain it, but it felt a lot more real than others? the unbalanced power dynamic, the way seth was reacting the whole time. it was just hard to see
