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.

>They're saying, "This author wrote a story that depicts an incident I believe to be sexual assault."

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.
