Claims Against Rey, the Creator

Creation of NSFW BTS Content

Rey's creation of not safe for work (NSFW) content featuring the K-pop group BTS has been a subject of controversy. He is known to have made fan art and alternate universes (Aus), often depicting explicit or sexually suggestive content involving BTS members. His most infamous work was a NSFW interactive dating sim comic known as BTS vrau.

Creation of Technical CP

Rey's involvement in the creation and spread of content depicting an underage person in a sexually suggestive or explicit manner has also come under scrutiny. These actions can be categorized as technical child pornography (CP). While some evidence has been deleted or does not exist, Rey made an apology in 2021 for his past creation of NSFW BTS content.

Apology and criticisms

Rey's apology for his previous involvement in NSFW content acknowledged his regret and disinterest in that phase. However, critics argue that the apology fails to address the problematic nature of sexualizing real underage individuals, particularly as one BTS member was a minor at the time.

Rey's Alleged Connection to Pro Shippers

Pro shippers, individuals who romanticize and Glorify pairings involving pedophilia, incest, or abuse, have been associated with Rey. Though concrete evidence is scarce, there were claims suggesting his following of pro ship accounts. While such claims lack definitive proof, some believe that Rey had a past connection or exposure to the pro ship community.

Allegations of Shota and Lollycon

Accusations of Rey being involved in shota and lollycon content have surfaced. Shota refers to pre-pubescent boys, while lolly or lowly pertains to pre-pubescent girls in anime and manga-Based media. However, evidence supporting these claims is limited, and no concrete proof has been found at the time of writing.

Transphobia Accusations

Rey has faced allegations of transphobia for his usage of terms such as "trap" and "femboy" within the trans community. While ongoing debates address the offensiveness of these terms, specific instances of Rey using them in reference to an actual trans person have not been substantiated. The extent of Rey's connection to the pro shipping and pro ship community remains uncertain.

Conclusion

The controversy surrounding the "Boyfriends" comic and its creator, Rey, has presented a complex and polarizing situation. Allegations ranging from the creation of NSFW content to associations with pro shippers and transphobia have sparked heated debates within the community. However, a comprehensive analysis of the available information reveals a lack of definitive evidence and a need for objective discussions to address the claims.
