And of course the seme character would blackmail the clearly traumatized gay uke character for coerced sex (pretty much rape). Well, yet another one to add to the no list. When will this rape/blackmail -> love type of plots stop? Can't the love interest just be a decent human and want to offer support and comfort?
(Not pinning this on this author alone, but I'm just tired of seeing this so much)
Since most Yaoi authors tend to be female, I don't understand why they would use the rape/blackmail trope to establish a relationship. Doesn't matter what gender the character is, rape is rape and there is no justification for the victim to ever continue to be in a relationship with the abuser. It's just messed up that there are so many yaoi mangas that use this as a plot device to bring 2 males together... Even other countries BL stories use this trope too. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
