Holy fuck, that's the first aggressive, intentionally violent depiction of rape I've seen in a while in a webcomic. So nice!
Usually it's: 1- a meak uke just crying and saying "no, wait, please", like in a cnc porn (nothing against cnc, I actually like it, but that's hardly ever the intention of webcomic authors; and I know that the "no, wait, please" is a real response from certain victims but in fiction it needs to make sense and it usually doesn't match the character's personality, usual reaction to such situations or even the context); 2- VERY downplayed on the "this is an assault. Like a beat down is an assault and a riffle is an assault" (which again, I don't mind, I like it better when the setting treats rape differently from reality if it's going to happen between the MCs and not have repercussions, like, respect, within its world building constraints it works); 3- or (and this is the one I hate), the author tries to make it sexy but it's just the most uncomfortable, disgusting thing ever (yes, Profundis, this IS about you).
Loved the violence, the feeling that hey, this was really forceful, this wasn't someone not fighting back, "my mouth says no but my body says yes, I just didn't know I wanted it, I just needed someone to "fix" me forcefully", but someone who truly couldn't defend himself at that moment and had a threat to their life that makes it harder to fughtback.
Felt very believable as rape, an actual assault. I'm just mesmerized.
I like when fiction have problematic issues but it needs to work within itself, and it often doesn't. Hopefully this will have some mindbreak, gaslighting, psychological repression as the Mc succumbs and get tgt q/ the ml (that we know will happen), and not "wow, I'm so thankful he raped me, it got me to realize I love him and sex with men".
