Manga-Question

I have a question concerning “schonen-ai” and “yaoi” -Mangas

This is not a language-related question, if you ask me. No offense, but have you ever watched gay porn? Yaoi and [you must mean]shounen-ai are just fantasy. There are similar rape fantasies in pornographic photosets and videos. You may be misunderstanding the genre as a female.

I'm not trying to belittle rape and abuse. Consent is huge in all communities as far as I'm aware, but media produced to be a sexual fantasy is not real sex. Maybe you can write a letter to the CLAMP ladies and ask them.

I think it is, because it's about the use of words "no" and "don't" and the shift in meaning depebding on the context. I doubt that it's about rape-fantasy. I know that "slash"/ "boys love"-Mangas are written by female authors and read by girls and women, not by gay men.
No, I only read Mangas.

Yeah, this is about Japanese society (and particularly genres aimed at young women), not about language.

Watch Japanese heterosexual porn or go read some hentai: you'll see exactly the same thing (just with more tentacles).

Language and culture /society are closely connected, so you have to understand the origin to understand the meaning and usage of the words.

[fencer_x]

...Yes, exactly. So you have to understand the society to understand why these words are used. You're kind of asking about the answer to the question than asking the question itself.

I only read manga is supposed to mean that I'm not familiar with hentai, tentacles or porn movies, so I hadn't seen it before I found it in those manga. Most of the time, I read traditional literature.
