like the story and worldbuilding is actually good but they HAVEEE to add something weird like…pls…
But they do sell, unfortunately. Almost all the most popular BL currently have rape trope. It is sad
Yea ik. I feel like artwork and dramatics is most appealing to get an audience, and rape might be an “easy” way to get to that but there’s still many ways to offer those dramatics w/out rape. Like in this story for ex the rape is way later in the story- what makes this popular was the plot and art. The rape was not necessary.
When will BL authors realize that rape is not the way to sell their work
