I'm late to the nsfwhump/noncon kink discussion but as someone who both enjoys Nsfwhump as a form of trauma processing and for Certifiable Sexy Reasons due to having a lot of wires crossed between the two, I feel very strongly if you are someone with a noncon kink and you engage with it through other people's fiction about sexual violence, you should be taking care to read the room/contextual cues before you start commenting overtly sexual things on their work, especially in the whump community. Speaking as a survivor with a hardcore nonconsent kink, it's really not that difficult imo to ascertain the difference between someone who's writing about sexual violence to be titillating vs trying to invoke horror even if you, the reader, technically find the depicted acts to be arousing. Exercising care around this is good practice, especially because for a lot of whump writers, depicting acts of sexual violence in an accurate way is an important practice of truth telling and trauma processing that often gets mistaken for porn/smut.
Personally my favorite brand of whump is the type that strikes a balance between "survivor fiction" nsfwhump and "smut" nsfwhump because my own sexual desires and trauma are very deeply intertwined and I don't necessarily perceive these two types of whump as being two seperate categories but that's just me
this is not a s3xual (spelled so it won’t appear in searches) thing for me. pls do not make it s3xual. I understand that there is a part of the community that is but for me whump is not.

Are you a Whump fan? Do you find comfort in the dark, disturbing, and transgressive? enjoy media that is deliberately uncomfortable to consume, and do you happen to be huge weeb like myself? If so:
PLEASE PLEASE READ AKU NO HANA/THE FLOWERS OF EVIL BY SHUZO OSHIMI (18+)
It is actually my favorite piece of media of all time. It's a psychological thriller about a young boy named Kasuga, who is blackmailed into a "contract" with Nakamura, his school's resident antisocial (anti, not asocial) outcast after she sees him stealing his crushes gym clothes. It's a beautiful story that uses a lot of Whump to explore themes of sexuality, gender, shame, alienation, and coming of age. It is also pretty messed up love story. So I figured it's perfect for this type of community.
Some general stuff:
There are two parts. The first part is extremely Whumpy and the second part is more comfort/healing. The ending is perfect one of the most perfect ending in existence imho
the art style is a little rough beginning. I promise it gets better. For me, seeing how the art style improves is part of the fun
there is an anime adaptation, but it's extremely unpopular with fans, mostly due to the fact that it's rotoscoped, characters do not look like teenagers, and because it only adapts half of Part 1. I have mixed feelings about it myself, but I'd definitely recommend reading it first if you wanna give it a watch. Also despite my problems with it, the ending theme fucking goes
If you wanna go in blind stop here. I will try my best to keep my descriptions of the whump tropes, possible squicks, and triggers as spoiler free as possible.
Also, if you're a whump fan/writer and you already have read Flowers of Evil feel free to sound off! Almost nobody I know IRL has read about it or is interested so I'd love to meet more of you. And if you decide to read it at my recommendation and end up enjoying it, feel free to let me know/share you thoughts!
You might enjoy Flowers of Evil if you enjoy the following whump tropes/sorry if I'm not naming them correctly I'm still pretty new to this community
Girl Whumper/Boy Whumpee
Sadistic Whumper who is also intimate whumper
Defiant Whumpee turned submissive
degradation/humiliation Whump
Whumpee and whumper both being extremely flawed but humanized
Worse Whumper being mistaken for Caretaker (kind of.)
Whumpee x Whumper Romance
Would not recommend you have the following squicks
Minors in sexual situations/stories about minor's relationships to sex and sexuality. Personally, I don't feel that the characters themselves are sexualized but it can still be incredibly uncomfortable.
Just underage whump in general
Forcefem (non medical, just clothes) as a form of degradation
Abuse victims fawning over their abuser. It's literally what the story is about.
TRIGGER WARNINGS:
Non con. A lot of non con touching in the beginning and one very explicit rape scene in chapter 26
Sexual harassment. Nakamura is A Lot. See previous point.
Emotional abuse/degradation. And a lot of it. I cannot understate how much of this there is.
Physical abuse. From what I remember not as much as the emotional abuse, but still pretty prevalent and scary at tines
