Unpopular Opinion

This storyline is fucking harmful. I was very impressed by the way homophobia, rape and internalised homophobia was portrayed in the first few chapters. And then it started becoming fan service and went down problematic yaoi tropes once again. I get that it's entertainment and sexy but if you're going to mention child rape and someone suffering from ptsd from child rape then don't have a male protagonist who is rapey and does not care whether his partner consents, literally constantly makes inappropriate comments propagating rape culture and hypersexualisation of gay people. So you want me to believe that Danny got over his childhood trauma of being sexually abused by being sexually abused by the guy he loves? If you read some of the things this lance dude said and compare it to the traumatic memories of what the teacher told Danny you'll see it's not that different. Except Lance is this hot dude and these problematic words are drawn with sexy smoulders and smirks.

I hate that the author capitalised on child molestation and didn't even do it right.

    ikr???? it's always the hot guys that have it easy! the ml is not much different from the molester,, it's so freaky thinking about how he forces himself to the mc. you don't fix a broken person with a knife (that's sometimes sharp and sometimes blunt) because it'll gonna hurt him more,,, but surprisingly, the mc is FiNe because he l o v e s him. how unrealistic

    Yes! Not to mention they show how problematic/ toxic student teacher relationships are only to then literally have a student teacher couple in this! Just because the student in that looks older doesn't mean its not wrong! Smh

    If I could like your comment more than once I would, you are so right. The author had created a really interesting start and had the opportunity to seriously tackle the homophobia and child rape issues, but they turned it into a joke (fan service). It was really disappointing because I was really looking to see a raw and real plot that explored these issues.
