Rape is obviously worse, it effects the victim (male or female) on physical and emotional levels. They gain high levels of trauma and fear and loss of trust from it, and even more problems when nobody believes them. It's especially bad on male victims, since nobody believes them most of the time, just because they have a penis. Even when someone be...... reply
Honestly, it doesn't matter. I mean they're both bad but yaoi representation makes it hard for many readers to judge. I mean I read a manga where people cried "cheating" when it was rape. So according to them, rape=cheating, and the number of likes on this comment was pretty high scary enough. Then we have the idea of "sex partners" or "open relati...... 3 reply
I really hate it when there is cheating in yaoi , the fuck i'll never enjoy no matter how steamy the sex scene is or whatever kind of logic the characters have for doing it.
On the other hand, i dont mind rape, cause no matter what, they still end up together, and i love twisted stories ,except cheating, cause yaoi is twisted anyway.

rape is much more worse as it is a physical and emotional truamatic experience thhat can also ruin a persons future, futhermore, it is looked down upon by some members or cultures in society so people are afraid to come out and tell others that they are a victim of rape reply
On a physical and emotional level, rape is obviously worse, no questions asked. Rape can sort of make you broken most likely with some sort of PTSD left behind. It’s not exactly wrong to say the effects of being cheated on is milder than rape.
In the mangaverse however, I’ve seen so many rape scenes from yaois that it has left me slightly indi...... reply
Of course it's rape. Its sad that it's even a question.
In my opinion reality or fiction do not matter- rape is a horrifing crime and when I read mangas with rape scenes in them (which are alot obviously) I always feel sad and disgusted... I don't undarstnd how people would prefer a mc that raped rather than one who cheated. 3 reply
The title of the question made me laugh but the actual question makes sense. In the fictional realm and yaoi in particular, my opinion is that both are equally bad. I've read some mangas where a character gets raped and thinks nothing of it, no psychological trauma at all and I'm sitting here like "WTF CALL THE POLICE!!" And in some cases, cheating...... reply
Rape is most definitely worse. It's like having you body stripped away from you for who knows how long. Cheating is bad too, but you'll end up getting over it after a few weeks, depending on how strong that love was. Getting raped mean having to live with that for the rest of your life, living with the fact that you couldn't do anything to defend y...... reply
