I’ve been reading this literally all day. I’m on chapter 57 and the mc just got raped. It was not even a dubious consent thing where ppl would be jumping to defend the alpha guy. That man literally asked him to stop MULTIPLE TIMES. He stated it CLEARLY. And I’ve accepted that dubious consents r just a part of the yaoi experience. But to just rape someone so ruthlessly, someone u say u ‘love’ is just fucking crazy to me. And what is the author trying to do by giving us FOUR CONTINUOUS CHAPTERS of that violence being repeated again and again and again????? I used to read a lot of yaoi when i was younger but i grew out of it after a while when i realized how toxic this fandom was. But I’ve come back because I missed the dopamine hit. This shit just made me realize why i left in the first place. Like how can this ruthless fucked up scenario be seen as anything else? Anything different? This shit really just does not sit right with me. The way rape culture is so normalized by this whole genre is just baffling to me. Really just shows how this is the fetisization of gay men to a certain extent. This kind of shit perpetuates harmful messages in the real world. Can’t believe i wasted my time on this.
