Lmao omg. The author doesn't need therapy just because you're incapable of understanding the story. That's super disrespectful to say. There's nothing illogical or unrealistic about discovering new things about yourself while recovering from trauma. The fact that you think people can't determine their own sexuality just because they have PTSD is kinda homophobic tbh. But go off I guess, bye (◍•ᴗ•◍)
I love that we have came to the conclusion that I’m homophobic, I’m the one to blame for actually having the stupidity to get in an argument with someone who’s as close minded and and insanely stupid as you. That’s my fucking point you imbecile, he’s not recovering from his trauma he’s only making it worse, you can’t possibly be in your state of mind to discover you sexual preference after getting raped and through sex nevertheless. Besides how would you know that for sure, do you happen to have a degree in psychology by chance? Or were you a therapist in your past life? You’d making diagnosis as if you were an expert of some sort, cause if u were then I’d gladly delete my comment and retrieve everything I said, until then kindly piss off
You're literally saying someone with trauma is incapable of understanding themselves. That's gross af dude. Also saying an LGBT person is just confused about their sexuality and needs therapy before they can determine it is... Yikes. No I'm not a therapist I'm just a bisexual woman with the same type of trauma as the main character and I don't appreciate how hard you're trying to invalidate the sexuality of mentally ill LGBT people. You don't need to be mentally healthy to know who you are. Stop infantilizing people with PTSD. I really hope you actually stop and think about what I'm saying instead of just getting more aggressive like you've been doing. I'm genuinely just trying to explain this to you and you're getting angry for no reason.
If that person wasn’t discovering their sexuality before their trauma and had no interest in the same sex, then yes they need therapy before they can determine it and maybe I’m angry because you straight up called me homophobic, let’s end this Here, none of us is going to convince the other, we have different perspectives, I have the right to think this way as much you have the right to think in that way, I’m tired of this discussion and it doesn’t seem like we’re getting anywhere we’ll just keep having countless and countless of useless and pointless arguments, so goodbye and let’s never encounter each other again.
Funny how people get mad about being called homophobic instead of stopping to evaluate themselves and seeing if the things they're saying might actually be homophobic... And while we're at it your argument is pretty ableist too. When someone calls you out for this stuff you shouldn't double down and get defensive, you should check yourself and consider why they said that. But clearly you're more invested in your fan theory than in the experience of actual people who've experienced these things so whatever, do you. And just btw, as long as you keep replying, I will too, so if you're tired of it maybe you should just listen and move on.
I’m probably going to be attacked for this, but I strongly feel like the MC isn’t gay. He was married to a woman and he was in love with her and he never had sexual problems with her, so where is this strong desire to be held by a man coming from? I think the only reason why he enjoys having sex with guys is because of his trauma and because his body got used to the idea of being raped, the desire for a guy to have sex with him is purely an the instinct of lust, his body is enjoying it while his mind and soul and mental health are being tortured, it’s like drugs for him, no matter how much you hate it or want to quit it, you’re simply addicted to it and to the feeling of orgasm and detachment from reality, it’s like a constant battle to get your mind from the very thing you’re struggling with, I don’t think sleeping around with guys is going to help him make peace with his trauma. I genuinely hope he gets proper treatment with a therapist, and if then he decided to have a relationship with guys and come out as gay or even bi, then I’d believe it’s rational and acceptable. Until then, this fucked up relation he has with sex is only going to ruin him and break him, he’s not in the right state of mind to be in relationship…sorry if I was ranting for too long, it’s just my perspective as a reader and I wanted to share it
