To me it read as a dom who was trying to teach a sub that there is a reason for boundaries and limits. However, he did it the wrong way. The dom is supposed to also have a safe word. Meaning he is allowed to stop it when he is uncomfortable just as much as the sub if he used the “I love you”. He’s very valid in being upset that the sub (the uke) doesn’t understand that bdsm isn’t abuse and most doms will fucking drop you if you say you have no limits because that’s now how BDSM works. He just doesn’t get it though (the uke) and keeps wanting what honestly seems like abuse- mostly because it’s not communicated.
Though I do think a sadist would help satisfy him. Considering he likes extremes, that would likely get rid of some frustration. But mostly he needs to communicate. If your partner knows you like plays where you pretend to be forced, or used whenever they want, then you can just use the code for play (the way they refer to each other) to get consent on play. But nah, he too stupid and bratty to make everyone comfortable and communicate.
(Sorry long reply, I liked your take so I felt like adding)
I agree with both of you 100%.
everyone is calling the uke insane (which he is) but he's just a masochist who needs an actual sadist as a dom so they can both have responsible fun.
sm relationships can be safe, healthy, and include genuine care for each other but the seme either doesn't understand that, or he just isn't into it. imo seme just isn't a sadist and doesn't know how to be a sadist so they aren't compatible.
if he does know this and is into it, he could just explain it to the uke. the uke is horny and dangerously stupid, he needs someone responsible to teach him about this stuff but i guess it's not a bl manhwa unless the main couple consists of two idiots who can't communicate
the ideal situation would be: seme is a sadist who understands sm relationships, explains the importance of the limits to the uke (instead of just calling him an idiot), and they end up connecting outside of sm play.
maybe we'll get some traumatic backstory for the seme and hopefully that'll explain why he reacted the way he did, because his reaction was just stupid for someone who is supposedly experienced in the bdsm community.
i do agree the uke is annoying as hell tho. i just hate his personality lol but i'm interested to see how this plays out.
i know this comment was very long for a stupid bl, but i need to call out poor bdsm portrayals whenever i see them
