idk but it's kinda universal things happening in any romance fiction, regardless of genre (straight, BL, GL). dark romance is rlly a thing rn, most of it rooted from reader's preference on any free self-published media platform (socmed, ao3, etc). Then producer & publisher looked at this as opportunity to encourage author to make or adapt stories with similar trope that's popular, to gain many readership revenue possible. One story succeeded, followed by another, then more similar story is made. Like it or not, a lot of ppl happened to love rapeslop it's kinda what sells best amongst paid readership, bcs it's them who actually matter for author & platform's profit, to the extent even shoving unfitting rape in order to cater paying reader's preference

The fucking chains ALWAYS THE DAMN FUCKING CHAINS oh my god I don't know what joy people find in shitty plots like this
no I don't think it's passionate, possessive or intimate of him to CHAIN HIM LIKE A FUCKING SLAVE and TREAT HIM WORSE!!!! THAN A SLAVE!!!!!! I blame all of this on people who normalized rape in bl so fucking much people see it as something romantic, NO!!!!!!! if you're here to complain that we're some sensitive moralfags THEN SHOVE THAT STUPID COMPLAIN UP YOUR SHIT STAINED ASS AND GO READ FUCKING REVERSE THINKING OR SOMETHING!!!!! YOU HAVE PLENTY RAPESLOP ALREADY SO LEAVE US ALONE!!!!!!!!!!! Sigh. Anyways! Sorry for the rant tehe!
