You’re not alone for sure! I’ve read BL with rape scenes before but it kinda made sense because the story was psychological and it was a huge plot point. But rape just because they can’t stop themselves or because the uke’s body is asking for it… oh hell nah fuck that! It adds absolutely nothing to the story, there’s no character development after, and it’s usually brushed off like nothing happened or it was just in the heat of the moment… I’ve dropped some BL stories before because of this and I don’t regret it
I really wish that these BL authors would stop romanticizing rape/sexual assault. That is the epidemic spreading through those authors. I genuinely don’t know why anyone would think of adding that to the story, considering it almost never moves the plot forward. Has no one learned from Junko Furuta?? It’s kinda disturbing that they put their characters in these situations and it ends up being the fix for the main character’s relationship. That’s just my opinion but tbh I know I’m not alone in this.
