idk it’s not the scene itself that’s a problem, but the aftermath. there’s no fallout or explanation as to what happened, and the characters just go back to their dynamic as if those scenes did not happen. am i to accept that the mc just had no follow-up thoughts on being held down and forced? whether he enjoyed it or whether he despised it? idk. i personally don’t scan quickly, i like to re-read chapters too before a new update.
this… like yeongwon was raped and brutally penetrated yet it was brushed off so easily?? he made amends with it the day after because it was done by someone he seeks romantic connection with which makes no fucking sense. with bl, sexual trauma is never explored or even acknowledged. it’s like authors only see sa as a plot device and not a topic deserving the room for depth, reflection, or healing lol
i feel like we keep getting scenes with super dubious consent (or no consent at all) and just no follow up. it’s not truly engaged with, it’s just forgotten and not mentioned again.
