Rape is used in yaoi as a plot device to speed up the intimacy and, in some twisted way, to show the strength of the seme's passion and the uke's vulnerability. Even Shakespeare used rape as a plot device and don't get me started on Game of Thrones. In real life rape is traumatic and has long term repercussions, in literature it is used to move the plot in a particular direction. You wouldn't read a murder novel and then complain that it had too much killing. I think we can agree irl rape is wrong, no excuses. I think it must be a case of what readers want though, no author is going to continue to use something that doesn't sell.
