Rape Is Love or It\'s Not Rape If You Enjoy It are often the excuses used to dismiss lesbian rapists in stories, but I don\'t think their presence means that the rape was NOT excused based on gender. In Kannazuki No Miko we aren\'t completely dealing with either trope. Himeko did not enjoy it. She\'s distressed that it happened but she still wants to give Chikane the benefit of the doubt because she is certain that Chikane had good intentions. When a man attempts to rape her, he is seen as a complete monster. She is more willing to give Chikane the benefit of the doubt and in the end when Chikane pursues a relationship

She pretty much says \\\"well if that\\\'s what you want then go for it.\\\" The rape itself isn\\\'t love but her assumed good intentions do tend to come from her femininity.

In Kushiel\'s Legacy it is possible that we are looking at Rape is Love however it is questionable that Phedre can accuse the woman she loves of high treason despite loving her and can recognize that the sexual act was not necessarily acceptable but cannot call it rape. It is not like most rape is love stories in that they do not end up together and Phedre does not choose this love in the long run. It is arguable whether or not it fits the typical model of Rape is Love, in fact, I think it is listed as a subversion on the Rape Is Love page (and not by me). Actually her \

It is arguable whether or not it fits the typical model of Rape is Love, in fact, I think it is listed as a subversion on the Rape Is Love page (and not by me). Actually her \\\"curse\\\" which causes her to enjoy all pain (including rape) is her strength. They assume she has submitted fully to them and that they have power over her, but in her mind and at her core she is not theirs and still manages to take her rapists down.
In \\\"She Stole My Voice\\\" there are men who actually say they\\\'d rather their girlfriends were raped by women because it wouldn\\\'t insult their masculine egos. And those are based on real life examples. Also the links to real life suggest that the stigma does exist in real life which means it will show up in media.
Also see this quotation from the article: \\\"This trope goes hand-in-hand with Rape Is Love and Its Not Rape If You Enjoyed It but is not entirely the same. It is a common trope in yuri anime particularly. Rape between females tends to be downplayed regardless of whether or not the victim \\\"liked\\\" it.\\\"
Rape Is Okay When It Is Female On Female is frequently an unfortunate implication of yuri.
I can see that you don\\\'t agree that this trope belongs, however, calling my entire page \\\"bullshit\\\" is rather rude.
