ily, you worded this beautifully. people need to separate fiction from reality, bc is that not the whole purpose of fiction?
some of the too-young-for-yaoi have it actually tangled with reality, if you know what I mean. I think they were seriously indoctrinated into the cult of ... I don't know. lol something weird and unseen before, totally pointless and ultimately destructive.
So, I'm just trying to understand. I can read this, but it would be wrong of me to "romanticize" it, right? In other words, as I'm reading this I need to think about real life rape victims and how they would feel it they were the characters in the story, right? I can read it, but it is essential that I upset myself each time a rape scene is happening. Even if the author intends me to enjoy the gorgeous art and the heat of the sex, I'm not supposed to. Why? because we have to make sure we pin reality onto fiction! We are not allowed to just escape and enjoy it. no. you must upset yourself and feel bad throughout the sex scenes if there's the slightest hint of rape. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? i'M READIN this to get away from thoughts of RL rape!!
I must follow the new goddamn hairbrained new rules of the snowrape generation. Well pardon me but that sounds EXACTLY LIKE the convoluted religious beliefs I was raised with.
