I have nothing against dubcon and humiliation in fiction, lol Do'S, but not when it's presented as pure love. Because we should really call a fish a fish. And it's usually a good sign that the author's just playing into the audience's sexual hang-ups and not actually thinking the damn thing through.

I really *think* it's for all those girls who have a thing for jerks IRL and would like to fantasize that jerkasses are really nice underneath. Which is a very good way of increasing domestic abuse rates, sad thing sad thing.
