okay the points you made are valid but i dont see how male lead was groomed. ive only read up to chap 8 and havent touched this since. legit the only reason why red heads literally thought interacted with male lead at all was so he wouldnt be killed by him. he treated him with respect and helped him and that was it. so im kinda confused on why you say he was groomed. and this is comin from someone who got groomed into thinkin it was normal to do sexual things with your older brother •<•
The whole point is that this is the pedophile fantasy.
The story shows the poor adult, the completely innocent adult who's done nothing wrong, being pursued and seduced by the sexually aggressive child. It portrays the groomer as innocent. That's the whole point of this trope.
The grooming and the pedophilia are hidden in the story, because the story is the pedophiles fantasy. The pedophile doesn't want to be seen as a pedophile in their own fantasies, the pedophile is just a good guy going about his life being kind to children and the children just like him so much that they'll do anything for his dusty old cock.
Don't look in the story for the pedophilia and the grooming, look at the premise and it's all right there.
But he wasn’t groomed, and the ML raped the MC. The Mc doesn’t even want this. It’s not romantic. It’s all just very forceful. And the ML is a grown up, not a child.
I have made myself very clear. This trope is a pedophiles fantasy.
Why would a pedophile have a fantasy where they are the clear villain? If this was real life then it would be sad and disgusting, and the pedophile would look like a disgusting villain.
The whole point of this trope where the adult is the innocent bystander and the child is the sexually aggressive seductress is the pedophiles fantasy. The pedophile wants to be the innocent bystander. The pedophile wants the child to want their Dusty old cock.
You don't see grooming and blatant pedophilia in this trope because it is the pedophiles fantasy. That's the whole point. The premise is the pedophilia. The whole premise is that this child is desperate to fuck the adult who raised them. How do you not see that is the point of the trope and why that would be a pedophiles ultimate fantasy?
Thank you for explaining, I felt severely uncomfortable with this for many reasons that are obvious but there was another reason which I couldn't figure out and your explanation helped me realise what it is. This story feels like it was written by one for one but doesn't want to be blamed for their disgusting acts. Thank you for explaining ^^
So the whole premise of this story is that a middle-aged man raises a child, is this child's teacher and mentor, and then fucks the child.
This is where everyone's going to jump in and be like no no, no no the grown man is the victim here. The child, the small child that was groomed, the child THE CHILD is the aggressor. The child, the small child that was groomed, is the one who's actually sexually attracted to the grown man. The grown man is the victim here, clearly the child is the one in the wrong!
This trope makes me sick. It is pedophile fantasy. Pedophiles want children to be sexually aggressive, that's why they groom them. They groom children to make the children attracted to them. Why do you think so many pedophiles go "they seduced me!!" It's because that's their fantasy.
Everyone who reads discarded is validating a pedophiles fantasy.
