Kinda weird to use the word trope for a real life issue. Or is the world fiction to you?
It’s not exactly a trope but the reality of many Asian families. I wished they didn’t follow that reality especially in stories but I guess I enjoy that they make it realistic.
Nice job whittling down generations’ of culture into a “trope”
I am Taiwanese and I know what I am talking about.
It is true that this Asian mentality has become a disempowering trope in Asian storytellings.
I don't care what's your problem is since you are eager to talk me down.
Because a trope is: a word or expression used in a figurative sense. How is abuse figurative? It doesn’t matter where you’re from. Everyone throws this word around and doesn’t even understand what the hell they’re saying

In chapter 73 Seme/ML gets slapped by his evil conservative stupid father again and doesn't really retaliate (╬￣皿￣)凸 despite being powerful himself....
By the way, why is the mother still supportive of her patriarchal obnoxious "ex-husband".
Talking about being brainwashed and following a toxic ideology...
That's unfortunate a thing or rule in the Asian Drama World: Now matter what you can't slapped/hit back at your shitty parent. I ve been observing this trope in many stories made in Asia for a while and I always hated this logic.
And there are the devoted (ex)wives/mother of the MCs who never blame their scum husbands... One of the reasons why the evil father or mother gets away with almost anything is because their spouses are so dumb, ignorant, passive and narrow-minded.
In "Marriage Not Dating" and "Marriage Contract" the wives leave their cheating shitbag of husbands for good!
