Romanticizes Toxic Relationships and Sexual Assault

Let me just say that a plot based around one of the leads being homophobic (regardless of the reasoning) was definitely off putting for me, but I wanted to watch this because it's one of the BL "classics". I should have listened to the warnings because this show is hot garbage and is actively harmful to queer representation in the media.

We have an actual sexual assault in episode one, cool cool. Episode two - more sexual assault, while he is CRYING and asking him to stop. Episode three - more sexual assault - he actually starts to enjoy it this time but guess what? He asked repeatedly to stop before they got to that point. That's still sexual assault. This is the first three episodes.

Episode four - Type says he'll have sex with Tharn to "repay him" so they're "even". WHAT???? I feel like I'm losing braincells. Why would you WANT to have sex with someone who offers to sleep with you to "get it over with"????

Honestly it just perpetuates the completely bogus stereotype that gay people are dangerous rapists and I can't stand that. "I couldn't hold back my feelings" is not an excuse for assaulting someone. And yes, these are 1000000% unquestionably sexual assaults.

People excuse this drama because its "of its time" but it was 2019. Not even four years ago. Not 1980. Consent was a thing.

Even if I wanted to overlook the multiple assaults on Type performed by Tharn (which I don't), they go on to have a completely toxic relationship where they are both completely selfish jerks to one another for the purposes of drama. Type (regardless of his trauma) is an absolutely horrible friend and a completely disastrous partner who is not only hurtful but actively toxic. There's really no other plot to speak of outside of this toxic-for-the-sake-of-entertainment relationship.

I'm convinced at this point that MAME has never seen an actual healthy and functioning queer relationship or just refuses to write anything that isn't toxic. Even for entertainment purposes there is just so much better out there. Stop objectifying and making sexual assault "sexy." It isn't.
