why do you think there's so much rape in yaoi?
i personally do not understand why there's so much rape in yaoi. and it's not a recent thing either. alot of older yaoi(finder series, gravitation, dakaichi, etc) have rape in it. and some of the older resident fujoshis still talk about those in nostalgic way, even though they know it did have rape and SA and other problematic elements in it. all the popular yaoi have mostly been filled with rape, no matter the time. why do you think this normalisation of SA comes from? if yaoi is mostly catered to women, doesn't it make more sense that women would feel negatively about rape in stories since women are victims of such crimes irl more than men? so what could be the possible reasons? is this some kind of sick rape revenge mentality? or is it a sick fetish of wanting to rape men if they were a man? it's something that feels so misogynist even though i cant put down a finger where. i want to know this from a person who's been a "resident fujoshi/fudanshi" and was in the yaoi genre early on (late 00s or early 10s maybe?) I have been in the BL community since 2018-19 and rape is something i have never understood. i personally don't read yuri this much, but overall yuri doesn't have this much normalisation of rape (as much as i have seen atleast). that doesn't mean yuri genre doesn't have problematic stories, it just isn't as mainstream to have a rape scene in yuri. so why do you think yaoi has so much rape and SA? what could be the reason behind it?
Because fujoshis want to see two penis-wielding people fuck, they don't care about if both people consent or even if their relationship is legal.
As long as they get to flick their beans to two males getting it on, they're ready to excuse anything, rape or pedophilia be damned. But also they will be complaining about rape or pedophilia in straight...... 2 reply
People will try to give this a deep meaning about patriarchy and using the medium as a way to put men through what women go through but in reality people just have rape kinks. Anyway watch halfman on HBO guys (pirate it) it's great 3 reply
lot of women just write like that tbf its prevalent in hetero genres too, just take a look how 'dark' romance is alive and thriving on booktok. it comes down from separating fiction from reality, in real life majority to none of these women would support it but when it comes to fiction it could range from 'psychological' to honestly a cnc kink for ...... reply
This is like the 5th post in this week on same exact topic. But this comment section reeks of racism and Misogyny. When you have your own warped sense of orientalism, consuming content from other countries should not be your thought right. Maybe consume those countries' fiction that are Supreme quality according to you. 2 reply
When stories that get popular that have rape in them, it leads authors to make a conclusion that THIS is what people want to see and therefore more rapeslop stories are made to get money and attention. The more people talk about and read the stories, the more these types of stories are created and reinforced. reply
Why do people act like it’s exclusive to BL or like it’s something new?
In general, the romance genre is filled with questionable actions and it’s simple, it sells.
People can complain all they want, at the end of the day, money talks, and these types of stories are the ones that sell.
Even just in this page, people complain about Jinx to t...... reply
I think the problem is when you looks through the "this only happens in yaoi" lense. I remember watching every shoujo under the sun, and many of them had questionable storylines, age gaps, and forceful characters. When i read r rated josei or played VNs, there was a lot of sexual assault. The idea that yuri is pure too is so laughable, i have seen...... reply
Rape exists in all media, its a very popular kink, mostly seen in hetero & homosexual (mlm) stories, since yaoi is a very popular genre, rape will be featured alot, why? Because authors focus on stuff that the mainstream audience likes, this is why rapey stories are always in the top ( which is what authors want, getting in the top 10 in the site ...... 2 reply
