I wonder what goes through authors head
Not just in bl but literally any media of "romance" but why do they act like rape and abuse is just a forgiveable thing?? Like wow after being treated like a human sex slave, he started to feed me breakfast so he's good, right? Like shit so romanticised and act like being treated the bare minimum is what makes them redeemed. This isn't a complain about redemption-arc, it's a complain about why would they put their main character in some sort of Stockholm Syndrome... Cause no that's not that dude just treat in you rough, that's him treating you like a pig. Even pigs get better treatment actually.

they probably just get off on writing it bro for a lot of people it's not much deeper than that
"Daek romance" they say, "pure fuckery with a side of ass" is what I say about these shitty plotlines
Dark*** whoops made a mistake there
Personally think they either have a humiliation kink, believe those shitty actions are normal/misogyny, or hate men so much that they wanna see them suffer or smth
