i really hate the CSA trope in BL and yaoi. like. why does every tragic backstory needs to have something so disguntingly abhorrent? i understand that some authors want to represent real life, and i get that it happens irl, but it's overused in BL. and it's kinda sickening... like why does queer media have to be always full of sexual trauma? i guess it does explain some of cirrus' character, though. but still would i prefer it to not show us visually any of that, we don't need to see it.
Is it rly that common in BL??? This is only one our of maybe three times I've seen this be used as a trope. Perhaps you're mixing it in with the common r*pe trope. Maybe I just find softer[?] ones and you happen upon more disturbing and psychological stories but I feel like this is just way more common when there's a female MC rather than a Male(don't mean to say that in an invalidating way, just speaking from my observations) but yeah. I feel like for ppl who aren't that comfortable with the idea of it find the scenes more disturbing. Totally understand not wanting those scenes bc even I was having to rush past that for a second. Usually it's only referenced so the visualization threw me off too. I sort of wish queer media eased off that side too, there at least needs to be a balance if we can't get nice sweet stories.

i think i come across a lot more of this happening in BL. im not really a het romance girlie, i just read BL and GL, but a lot of yaoi like to use the trauma of CSA as a backstory for their characters. it's like, i know it happens irl but i've seen it wayy too many times in manga. even manga that was supposed to be lighter in tone. like it's always got to be a tragedy within queer lifes i can't with this shit no more
