I have watched some yaoi animes here and there and the scenes don't look so rapey, more like "I want you but I am going to tell you to stop just because", seriously it is obvious the characters are head over heels for each other yet when the seme starts getting romantic, the uke acts completely denies his romantic feelings.

If he really wanted him to stop, he would've gotten physical instead of letting the seme have his way with him.

But I just watched Junjou Romantica and Sekai-Ichi Hatsukoi, other yaoi might be different.

 

You watched Junjou Romantica and Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, didn't you :P EDIT: Did you edit that last sentence in?? I seriously did not see it LOL!!!!

 

There are rapey yaoi anime out there. It's good that you haven't seen them... good lol

 

But BL anime represents a tiny, tiny sliver of the genre. Most BL content is manga. Like 98% of it.

That's not how it works.

If you want someone to stop harassing you sexually, you tell him to stop, if he refuses you push him away, the uke never does that.

We should drop the current tangent. This place already got locked once because people discussed real world stuff rather than Dragon Age stuff.

Actually those two titles are good examples of what I'm talking about.

 

I can't stand the "main" couple in Junjou Romantica because one guy basically sexually assaults the other guy. Okay, the guy is all, Don't! Stop! all the while he's writhing in ecstacy, but I'm sorry, he is saying STOP!!! And that is sexual assault in my opinion. And young girls watch that and think it's normal. Um, no. 

 

But that same anime has the lovely, lovely "Egoist" couple (one of whom just so happens to be an English professor; gee, I wonder which one I identify with xD), and that is a rather nice romantic relationship (with all its trials and tribulations... of course Junjou is a humorous manga/anime, so you get scenes of Hiro assaulting his boyfriend's co-worker because, well, that's Hiroki for you.)

Telling them to stop should be enough. If they refuse to stop, it is rape.

OMG... Chizuru... how did you know the one female character I absolutely cannot stand :P I never played the game though, just watched the anime. I couldn't make it past the first season... the guys were pretty but that's about it. Even if that one had been truly BL I'd have slept through it.

 

Well lots of BL is pure porn, and that includes rape fantasies. And I'm cool with that because, you know, YOLO. Down with censorship and such. But these girls, these young pre-teen girls, read these porny manga and get the wrong idea about real world relationships. I mean those manga are no more "real" than actual porn is... nobody watches porn and thinks, That's how real couples really act with each other! (Well some people probably do, bless their lonely little souls xD).

 

So it just worries me when I see these young girls say stuff like that, because I wonder, will they let boys do bad things to them b/c they think the boy "loves" them? I just don't know. 

 

XD she's not that bad in the game! It's mostly the guys that I wanted to smack in the game. Especially Hijikata. He's such a sweet heart on everybody's route but his. FALSE. ADVERTISING. Kazama may have been a complete monster but he was honest about being  such from the jump (that and he's de douchified in his route) so yeah.

 

Agreed. It's a bit disconcerting. Thankfully most of them should grow out of it. The ones that don't tho =/

 

Yeah hopefully they have people in their life that tell them they should love themselves more than anyone else and to remove themselves from such a situation. Because if you don't care about yourself no one else will.

 

Edit: Whoops sorry I'll get on topic.

 

Hopefully we can get some s/s background couples that aren't so subtexty for a change. And don't end in betrayal.

That's fair xD And one of the reasons I like romance in Dragon Age is because it's more mature and realistic, not like bad BL manga.

You are correct, it just seems to me that a person being raped in real life would fight back a lot more than some yaoi characters do.

Picture this: Hawke is kissing Fenris against the wall outside his mansion in that famous scene... "Hawke, no...!" says Fenris as he weakly pushes at Hawke. "But I love you... I promise you'll like it..." says Hawke as he presses harder against the helpless weeping elf.

 

Aren't you glad Dragon Age isn't a BL manga  :rolleyes:

... You do realize that it's almost (practically) the same thing that happened in Fenris rivalmance, right? xD

Yes. So people bringing up whether victims fight back are forgetting that people can feel scared or helpless. Not unreasonably, if someone is forcing themselves onto you in the first place.

lol yeah wallbang does happen there.

 

To be fair you can avoid that by just letting him walk off then come back...or...wait no I think it happens anyway that just makes it Fenris initiated rather than Hawke initiated.

I never do rivalmances, but I'm also curious. I wanted to know everything, every little detail about the characters. 

And I gotta say, that part of his romance was wtf moment... but then again, I find all rivalmances one giant "wtf moment".

Yeah the whole "you should've fought" is leaving a bad taste in my mouth to begin with. Like ugh. =/

XD watch a playthrough? I prefer the rivalrymances with funny Hawke. Diplo Hawke sounds like a teacher a lot of the time and aggressive Hawke while amusing is a bit high on the douche scale.

 

I liked em. There were some "huh" moments (mostly as a result of them being too similar to the friendship mance at parts) but they worked for me. Well except isabela's. That rivalrymance I will never understand. Her friendship mance is great. Rivalry is wut.

I apologize then, I will admit that I have no idea how one would feel when put into such a situation, it had not occurred to me that fear might take over and prevent you from doing anything to stop what is happening to you.

Oh, I do watch. :lol: Watch, read and such. I just never do anything I don't like myself, like - cheating in DAO, rivalmances, selling Fenris, being a douche to companions and characters, those kind of things. I'm not comfortable with that so I can only watch those on youtube. Or read on wiki.

Isabela's rivalmance seemed, to me, to be the only one that doesn't suck donkey balls. Why do you dislike it?

Well, I can't be friends with someone who rivalmances Merrill, so I suppose we're even there.

XD Man I love my doucehmobile playthroughs. They're so fun. Renedouche made ME fun for me. XD Though most my playthroughs ended up being mixes. I sold Fenris once :( man I felt so terrible I had to abandon that playthrough. Never again.

 

But I wonder if we'll get any ONS like in DAO. Hopefully they'll be a mix of hetero and homosexual options if so. And hopefully they don't look like Cammen >_> I won't be able to mod that face this time.

Mostly because I don't see Isabela romancing someone she finds boring and uptight. So it just struck me as really...odd. That plus the love scene being the same for friendship and rivalry pretty much (and that god awful what about love line) and nope.

 

Edit: That and the fact that the game seems to assume my rivalmancing Isabela Hawke is boring and uptight to begin with.

Aww I guess no cookies for you :( I made them with love and care and everything. Oh wells!
