I think there are a few things to consider?
I think, as a fictional trope, rape sometimes allows the reader to feel in-control of a situation that, normally, IRL, would be horrifying and out of their control. If that makes sense. And I think that's why some rape fantasy in fiction tends toward that.
That being said, though, I think there should b...... 1 reply
Rape isn’t the solution to your lack of imagination, authors usually use rape as a tool to make a faster development (between the two main characters or not) it becomes sex (if between the two main characters) and then as the story goes on the rape is dismissed. No. I have nothing against dark themes if well written but a lot of yaois authors (or...... reply
Well the thing is that it's fiction. In fiction, fictional things happen like pigs fly or zombie eats a vampire (idk) and rape is not fictional, neither is death or murder, yet sometimes it happen in yaoi as well ecchi, smut, yuri and any other mature content. To say that rape is wrong is absolutely true but, so is murder yet, people say murder is ...... 3 reply
LOL...
So, what would you call people who love watching killers themed movies?? Psycho? After all, killing people happen in real life and it's such a horrible act. Does that mean they are okay with that?
What would you call people who love watching BSDM? You might say, that's just a play and people involved in that fandom doing things with consent...... 6 reply
Yaoi fan girls in this thread are literally admitting to getting off on seeing gay men get raped, yet wonder why gay men are uncomfortable with fujoshis as a group 5 reply
Yess exactly. Well I can't change the old mangas. Because when the yaoi industry started people used to like the aggressive plotlines rather than slice of life ones. I still see old mangas with rapey or forcible affection plot with 8-9 rating but good old mangas with 7. Maybe we were not that up to date .But now after we had the knowledge of what t...... reply
So, I appreciate that more and more people are becoming frustrated with rape in yaoi. It's good that people question the stuff they see, and don't just treat it as normal. However, I think the people who are fine with rape in yaoi are more describing their personal feelings towards it - so more brutal rape may make people feel uncomfortable, whilst...... 4 reply
honestly ya have got a very good point here but idk I would just let the rape trope slide off now cause its kinda common to see it. I mean famous mangas like hidoku shinaide, ten count, killing stalking also had same forceful semes in their plot but still they rose to fame so damn easily probably cause of the good art and popularity.I just dislike ...... reply
IKR. WHO THE HECK LOVE THAT MANGA WHERE HE BROUGHT HIS TRASH FRIENDS TO RAPE THE UKE AND YET DOESN'T WANT UKE TO BE WITH OTHER GUY. FAK THAT LOVE SHUTTLE AUTHOR. (╯TД T)╯╧╧
Anyways, it's pretty much everyone being hypocrite. If the manga takes place that it's omegaverse, it's can't be helped the uke get raped by seme. That seme at least ...... reply
Simple answer: it's a fetish. Doesn't mean you want to actually be raped, but the fantasy of being controlled by someone is a turn on for people. reply
