Bl?

I haven’t been able to get into any bl for a while because I hate most of the tropes shown. There’s too much rape and abuse. YES the bottom saying “Ah! Stop!” And the top keeps going is rape. YES having sex with someone so drunk they can’t remember the next day is rape. YES the top getting mad at being rejected and forcing themself onto the bottom only to “come to their senses” and let them go because they see the bottom crying is STILL SEXUAL ASSAULT. BL is written mostly by and for women, it’s just a fact. The amount of women who read it outnumbers the men 10/1 that being said women always claim not to be fetishizing. Is reading explicit rape and abuse romances not fetishization? Is the bottom being a clear stand in for a woman personality and body wise not fetishization? Anyways I’m done my rant I’m not saying your a bad person for reading BL but people need to be more outraged when they see rape and abuse in gay romance instead of finding it hot. I’ve been searching everywhere but I’ve run out of wholesome BL (it can have sex but not at all a requirement) with a good well written romance and neither male character with feminine traits to stand in for a woman reader? Any recommendations? For example “Cherry Blossoms after Winter” “Here You Are” and “The New Employee” are good examples of things I like.
