companies trying to appeal to the fujioshi, perhaps?

I am so far out of the anime/manga scene, but I am pretty sure those are mostly genre titles and age ranges. Like how we have LGBT fiction, YA, etc.
Yeah but why rape? And why just Yaoi? Jousen and shoujo don't have this issue and they are directed at women too. Like I am fine with the fetish but I don't want to have to spend hours hunting just to find one manga without it. What's the obsessive allure?

This is really well done but the looping and framerate of the gif is off.

Yaoi fulfills my rape fantasies of being forcibly drilled pretty well honestly
No, its pretty explicitly rape. Crying, begging, and sometimes blood. Its annoying.

I mean, I've never read one, but my understanding is that yaoi is very much centered around seme and uke roles (dominant and passive respectively) which lends itself to that.
I mentioned this in a thread earlier today.
Why can't I just enjoy some anime titties? Why does there always have to be some sort of rape or person below the age of consent involved?
This applies to porn in general actually. Can't watch the majority of sexual content without consent being on shaky ground. Which just makes the whole thing super gross to me.
why does rape appeal to fujioshi

They've tried to set one up, actually, but it received a ton of pushback from the industry.

Yep, fujoshi are still very much into the rigid stereotype of the assholish/cold older top and the fragile meek bottom.
Works written by male authors tend to have way more variety.

I'm no cultural expert (insert meme) but part of having a sexually repressed society is the idea that non-conforming sexual desire would need to be instilled in someone through extreme actions, at least in the fantasy world that anime/manga exist in. Basically because it's not generally talked about openly in society, it's still commonly presented as a taboo or secret even within the media fetishising the act. So the trope of forcing someone into sex until they learn to express their desire becomes common in manga/hentai of all types, not specifically yaoi.

The bolded is what bothers me. I can deal with the rape. Fine. But nothing annoys me more than when some obviously middle school looking kid is involved. I mean come on. Put that shit in it's on section ffs.

Lots of women have rape fetishes and fantasies. This just tickles that urge in a different way than usual.

Well, I think there's a legitimate problem in trying to analyze why something happens in a culture when you're not a part of that culture because we just don't have their perspective. An example of that being that I think if you just explained what yaoi is to a Western person, they'd assume it was for men, but yaoi is mostly aimed at girls, and as pointed out below me, gender roles play out completely different in Japan than they are in the West.
This is the true reason.
Gender roles in Japan are pretty ridiculous so it's not surprising why some readers would love to see males get humiliated.

It's homophobia. Pretty simple. Gay people are culturally percieved as "perverts", "no way it can be a legitimate, consensual relationship", and that's all there is to it. Yaoi usually caters to women who have no idea how gay relationships actually work
There's some decent, "realistic" yaoi out there, but yeah, sadly the majority is like that.
And the OP is asking a legitimate question, I don't understand the posts in this thread.
