TW: What do you guys think about fictional rape?
There are A LOT of yaoi mangas that use the rape card unnecessarily, and when you call people out for supporting it even if "it's fiction" as some of them say they, you get kicked in the butt. Some of them said "we know it's bad but we just imagine it as if it SM play". Like wtf?? One even said "I don't support it irl but it's fiction so who cares what happens?". I just...I can't.

I don’t think we should read romances or dramas where the protagonist gets casually sexually assaulted and no one batts and eye. Unless there’s a reason for sexual assault to occur (not as a ...... reply
Rape is genuinely torture. I wish it upon no-one. Fictional rape is just mocking what really happens in the world and the authors basically sexualize it. You'd need to be hella self aware to be able to point out fictional rape because how much the authors write it as off as "intimacy". And that itself is fucked.
