Well, I understand people like Yahwi much more than some hidden psychos, because I was once swept in a relationship close to this one between Jooin and Yahwi. We just really wanted to have sex, although I took liking toward the guy. He was deceiving me that there could be something happening but he ended it quickly by saying he's met a girl he's attracted to. You would all say he used me and he only wanted to have sex. Well, I was very mad at that time, but I still felt something intense for him so it was complicated. Today I know that no one used anyone, he was just incapable of creating a relationship with me, because we had a very honest talk some time after those happenings. He was in not the best moment of his life, couldn't manage what was going inside him, but on the other hand he couldn't keep his hands off me. I don't feel hurt today, maybe dissapointed it lasted so short at most. But from my perspective at that time he was the worst of the worst, I thought he was just too weak to say no to the woman's body. Well, partly he was, but it was all about me after all, not every girl in town. So now I try to take seme's perspective, because everybody are always taking the uke's. It's not like it's decent what Yahwi did indeed, rape happens every second BL though, and what, am I supposed to hate on every seme there is? I prefer to just look past it and see the whole relationship more emotionally. Than, sorry I'm not fixated on the rape and how bad Yahwi is. I certainly prefer him over probable murdurer or some other psycho.
Ok, your're like the thousandth person telling me something like this, because my opinion is always similar with those stuff. I've read over five hundred yaoi stories. I became less caring. My favorites though are only those with plot and without rape, because mind me, my type of uke is confident and strong, not being dragged around by seme's finger. But those are like around 20-30 from all those I've read. Most common pattern is stupid/innocent/helpless uke who is raped by seme and falls in love with him. So I'm supposed to argue and repeat after all those people like you the only thing you can say about the seme - that he's rapist? How horrible I'm to try and find good things about him, becuase once he's rapist he can't be ANYTHING good at all ANYMORE.
Ok, so your're like the thousandth person telling me something like that in stories with those outline, becuse I always have the same opinion about them. And I've read over five hundred yaoi stories, so I became immune to those mainstream patterns of rapist semes. My favorites, around twnenty to thirty from all those, are never including this type of relationships or ukes or seme. I prefer strong and confident characters, especially ukes and I prefer the complex, engaging plot free of soap opera drama. I'm not saying this one's not good, but it's just the same as nearly all the others. Why would I always repeat after all those people like you that I hate the seme because he's a rapist? I like to find more qualities about characters, not just the plain surfuce. And I am so bad for it? Becuase I should like everybody else claim that seme is rapist and he can be not good at all anymore, he has no backstory, no reason to act not normal whatsoever, do let's condemn him. Sorry I think the world is not black or white but many shades of gray and asking the person commiting crime 'Why?' is as important as piting and caring for the victim. The anserw to that question is not supposed to be exuse, it's supposed to tell what happened in the person's life that he resorted to the unlawful act. I don't believe humans commit such acts out of pure will to do bad, there's always something more in there and that's why we should have more understanding to one another. A victim of parents abuse my often grow to be a bully, but he was a victim in the first place and he did not get justice for it. Also, better than do campain for fictional characters, maybe get interested in real life rapes? Those happening in marriges, in the families and in poverty. It always surprises me how strong emotions the fiction can make people feel, but they won't think that worse things are happening in the world around them and they need more attention and emotion than some drawings. I prefer to put my emotions in real life, here I'm just calmly observing, noticing how the characters are displayed and I'm just entertaing myself.
Why it has to be so predictible, damn. I knew it from the start that Cain is not exactly a pure hearted idiot as we were made to think. No one normal acts like that and no one normal goes half of the globe to be with person they don't actually know. His behavior is this of a serial murdurers which seriously gives me chills, always finds you in a right place and time, tricks you into something and never shows their sick nature, making you think he's such a sweet person. Bleh, I prefer people with problems as I ones said, at least I can see they are human beings. Yahwi is just our typical seme in type of the dog in the manger, who can't face his feelings, a bit forceful and is highly jealous, but all in all, loves the uke and doesn't wish him any harm and there is the other guy who makes him realize. Been there many times through many mangas, some Asian favourite relationship model for me unknown reasons... I sometimes hope to see just pure story between the two characters because it most often all just happens between two people in their intimate time and space, there are not so many people meddeling and those emotions and decisions are often interesting enough to show only them and I've seen mangas like that and I value them highly. But soap opera and drama is still in mainstream and greatly popular so what to expect. I start every story with hope, then I just read it because I don't drop those once started by rule.
