I think the author isn’t trying to say that this is healthy…the main ship is trying to get him away from this shitty domming via sexual violence, the author implies that this isn’t healthy when its mentioned that he doesn’t have a safeword, or know what one is and that the dom has hidden it on his phone, while Juhwan researches safewording to make sure he’s safe…so the author is writing this knowing its unhealthy and that’s the point, though it’s dragging on a lot and is really hard to read

that's my point though, the fact that they're allowing it to drag on despite the fact that this could potentially be really triggering not to mention dangerous for a lot of people who may be learning/ entering the BDSM community. It's dangerous that the sub is being made to accept abuse as a standard simply because it's his masters choice of "play". I get that it may not have been the authors original intention but with this sort of thing comes an unspoken responsibility to at least put an authors note or some sort of discretion that this type of behaviour is FAR from the norm. Perhaps the author needs to be more explicit in their condemnation, rather than us having to read in between the lines..? but idk maybe i'm being hyper-attentive because this sort of thing is just really frustrating haha

Idk, I think an author's note would be good, but I also don't know how many people would misinterpret this as a healthy sm relationship. I mean lots of people didn't realize parasite was a critique of capitalistic societies until it was pointed out to them. Most people here seem to be picking up what the author is putting down, but I think an a/n would be good for safe measures.
but srs... i feel like authors need to go away do more research when writing about BDSM... and the power dynamics between a SUB/DOM because the way that "domination" is being made synonymous with forceful sexual violence doesn't sit right with my spirit.
i'm kinda tired of this harmful trope that artists STAY perpetuating!
i hope the yuke can get away from this dreadful loser
