>I, on the other hand, find the depiction of forgiveness in itself quite offensive, as if the offender "opening up" and turning out to be a pure, beautiful soul suddenly makes the ugliness of past action go away.

In-series, that's not for you to decide. You're projecting your own beliefs on him now, also I completely disagree with you.

>The character isn't a real person, his "decision" is just a reflection of the author's belief.

Then why does everyone treat him as if he were a real person?

>So because western media also has problems, we should let yaoi off the hook? Why not criticize both, if there are flaws all around?

Dude. When I have said anything about problems? If anything I've pointed out how all your "problematic" stuff turned out to be much less "problematic" than you make it out to be.

>but I will never be on the same page

Don't worry, I'm not going to lose sleep over that.

The argument is that depiction of the character's action is problematic. When people say, "I think this was rape," they don't mean, "I treat this character like a real person commits sexual assault." They're saying, "This author wrote a story that depicts an incident I believe to be sexual assault."

Well, then we know how it stands. I think the tendency to excuse sexual assault as the character being tsundere is offensive, and very common in yaoi. Just as common as starting out a relationship with rape then developing it romantically. I think you're blindsided by the romance, which may actually be well-written. It is never necessary to include rape, it does nothing to improve on the relationship but actively makes the character repulsive to the readers. You can portray a dark, flawed character who has issues with relationships, without having him rape someone, especially if your goal is to write a romantic story.

That's an opinion, okay.

>I think the tendency to excuse sexual assault as the character being tsundere is offensive

I disagree, because I see the two as two very distinct things.

>I think you're blindsided by the romance, which may actually be well-written.

I find it very well-written. I also think you're blindsided by your being offended at stuff, but whatever.

>It is never necessary to include rape,

Whoa now, when did I say that? I even pointed out western BL doesn't tend to have that at all, and I enjoy western works too.

Not really? It looks like greentext, but they're really only using it as quotation marks.
