I know it’s not the first story that uses rape as a trope or something but still it needs to be talked about.
There is a way to turn a story dark without using rape. It’s just that authors seem to either enjoy using rape or don’t know how to darken a story. I mean for pearl boy for example, I’m pretty sure the author is conscious of using rape for basically every story and for everything. However I don’t feel like every author realises that. More importantly, maybe not copy every clear stereotype we see in a yaoi now: the story was doing great on itself because it was a bit unique on it own and captivating.
And for the people who says that Aaron was insane from the start and that the author warned us it’s going to be dark it shouldn’t mean that rape is mandatory. End.
I get that for some rape can be freaky in a fiction but at some point it’s not even freaky, it’s just deranging and borderline fetish like.
