who the hell is down voting this when it's literally true lmao
Rape fetishizers are downvoting
saw some weird ass bitch with a potn pfp say that there isn't enough rape in bls nowadays... genuinely have no words
Exactly, I've seen a person say here "Author, more rape please!"
cuz ppl can't write nowadays without including non-con and rape!! it's also romanticized which is actually really sad ☹
I think is cultural and economic incentives that create the rape trope in bl, and if we're more honest and abroad, romance (mostly dark romance). Culturally, we do not know what consent is and we live in a culture of rape deemed as normal part of courtship and intercourse, also in these stories sometimes they preserve the "purity" of the one being raped by taking from them their ability to decide and desire, this a patriarcal phenomena where feminized bodies need to stay pure in order to maintain their value, if they desire and have sex they are tainted, but if they're ability to consent is taken away, they remain pure because the rapist is the representation in history of the desire of sin fulfilled by force, and they are not the ones deciding over their desire. Bl, is no strange to this, and the vestiges of this common tropes affect also this media even if it is supposed to be queer, but authors don't live in a vacum and they learn by their context, east asia has a big problem with sa, that's another layer there. Now, culture creates demand, and then the economic incentives start to appear, as many have already pointed out there's a market for this rape plots, and it's demanded of the authors, so even if an author has an idea for a bl without non con, maybe inside the industry producers are pushing out more stories with rape plots because is what sells and is what the consumer mostly see.
All that is to say, I also used to enjoy roses and champagne then chapter 40 i believe happened, and I started hating it viscerally. So yeah, that.
why do writers (idk what to call them lol) especially in BL ones always put rape content in their story? was consent really that hard to write? i used to read roses and champagne, but when he started raping him while he says no and can't leave, i just couldn't bear to read it again, and idk too how readers just brush it off because apparently these characters already “changed” that's a rapist.
