Review of Yes, No, or Maybe?

It seems I'm not the only one who felt this film was seriously let down by the intimate scene at the end. Up until that point it was a pretty decent film, nothing extraordinary but it was a pretty sweet, enjoyable love story. As a queer man I have become a lot more weary of "BL" titles than I was as a teen, due to the unhealthy depictions of M/M relationships and the blatant fetishisation. I got my hopes up watching this. The animation is nice and if it had been longer it could have been a solid love story. It had pretty decent depictions of masking andanxiety and, I thought, a realistic depiction of a bisexual man.
And then the intimate scene threw the problematic and fetishised trope that has made yaoi a problem for years. There is nothing sexy or romantic about ignoring a no. There was no consentual roleplay or anything like that, it was clear non consent which has seriously let the film down. I wish I could say I'm surprised. I'm disapointed but not surprised.
I have started to see better representation of M/M couples in anime in recent years which I appreciate. This was very nearly one of them but was let down by that final scene.
