Whether you think it's rape or not, you guys clearly don't understand that unlike all the normalised SA scenes in a lot of BL, where do you see Upi NOT showing this is a bad development???
The problem with works including dark themes and scenes, is about how the creators portray those dark things. Another problem is that the readers all heavily lack critical thinking skills that the only conclusion yall can come up with is oh that thing bad so author bad >:(
Seoan felt that his romantic-sexual relationship with Woowon was being threatened, so he did the most intimate thing he knew could validate their relationship. Was that the right choice? Obviously not. But when do we ever make good decisions when we're emotional? And the man's EQ is fked from all his trauma. This is a logical and expected development and again, does that make it good? No. But use your brain!!!! What matters is how Upi handles everything after.
Yall need to learn how to criticise properly instead of using all your bullshit fallacies cause yall in the comments are either villifying mental illness or justifying SA.
Right!
People when authors show the typical "acceptable" symptoms of mental illness: omg yassss representation, mental health is important guys :((((
Same people (who probably only know mental illness from what they see in mainstream media) when authors show the destructive and harmful symptoms of mental illness: omg wtf eww eww eww so toxic red flag boooooooo, go back to having panic attacks then i can sympathise and baby you >:((((((
Yall need to chill and complain about the actual authors romanticising and normalising rape/SA cause pretty sure this illegal hellsite is full of works like that. Whatever Seoan is doing, Upi is clearly showing it's bad for him AND the people around him. If you can't see that and come to your own conclusion instead of wanting FICTIONAL works to always reflect the good ethical things in life, then maybe you shouldn't be reading these works.
