Me when I think creators should be responsible for what teenagers see online. Sad.
Girl I’m crying at you acting like Beware The Ides In March is peak when it also has a dude falling in love with his rapist. GET A GRIP
i knew someone was going to deflect by completely disregarding practically everything i said. mokhwa is NOT in love with nakwon and the rape is NOT justified, downplayed, or ROMANTICIZED. did you consume yourself with so much fetish content your frontal lobe shriveled up?
this is only part of the problem. there are GROWN ASS WOMEN trying to act like they’re more woke and righteous than others for being okay with reading shit like this.
*clicks most recent chapter
“So we’re gonna do it all night long?” Girl.
Idk about you but where else have I heard of a story centered around a rapist and his victim being casual and chill with each other like that…oh wait. Damn. Guess it really did “shape your perception”
you’re such a diehard defender of this specific manhwa im convinced you’re fucking the author herself. it’s looking like double barrel or job application for u atp
You pull the trigger first girlie <3 we’re cut from the same cloth.
Ctfu at how you effortlessly proved my point in my last comment. It’s always fuck this manhwa until someone points out their faves which have dudes cozying up with their rapists.
ctfu at how you’re mentally retarded! unlike you i never ONCE tried to defend the rape in bttim? it’s fuck this manhwa because mokhwa wasn’t raped for 20+ chapters straight. the only thing u pointed out was how if u didn’t know i read bttim you’d be pulling shit out the deepest ends of your ass girlie
So if Juyeon apologized then it would be all peaches and cream, huh. And I don’t need to address any of the yap from your comment because you proved you don’t even believe it yourself.
i see comprehension is genuinely a lost art. nakwon didn’t rape mokhwa then 360 and jump into a relationship. did u even read bttim? or are u loyal to your abhorrent rape fetish? genuinely
I did and I was not impressed even after all the “character development”. Big surprise! Apologizing for raping someone is not a groundwork for a fucking relationship. And Juyeon’s ass isn’t sorry, you know that lol.
it always becomes yap your brain ultimately proves you sat in school for nothing at all
This whole argument could just be resolved if you had just said “I would’ve preferred it if the relationship between the rapist and his victim was a slow burn” crazyyyyyy
but i don’t support this either? are u trying to gaslight me into questioning my judgement? i hate ALL rape. friends to lovers rape, enemies to lovers rape, stranger to lovers rape, revenge rape, i hate it all. the difference here is pretty obvious if you’re actually looking at the content and not just lumping everything with the word “rape” together. bttim is ATLEAST trying to tell a story about change, accountability, and the impact of their actions even if the premise is still messy. it’s not hinging the entire plot on how many ways it can sexualize assault. meanwhile, this which is filled with endless rape, confinement, and abuse dressed up as “psychological” but is really just fetish bait isn’t about character growth at all. it’s about milking trauma for those cheap thrills you oh so love. one is aiming, undoubtedly imperfectly, for a narrative that moves forward, and the other is just wallowing in harm so dorks like u can pretend it’s deep. you should take notes on how im not small minded and can see things for what it is instead of thinking with my pussy.
So much cope all just to wind up back where we started. You are okay with a story that is inherently problematic because it eroticizes a sexually abusive relationship and ultimately treats it as a phase in the relationship rather than the crux upon which it is built on. I don’t think any rapist should be redeemed in the narrative, no matter how hard the author tries lol! And I’m not even here because I think this story is the epitome of gay romance. I’m just here to snatch up all the double-standard having fujos here. It’s fun.
What the fuck does it matter whether you hate rape or not when the rapist character still manages to be “babygirl” to you and that you “can’t get enough”? I’m not arguing that 100% of BTTIM is incompetently written. I’m saying that you can look past a problematic element that you wouldn’t be okay with irl (I hope, at least) which involves a person staying with their rapist and being physical with them. But everyone here is for some reason a bad person who is causing real harm?
the way you’ve decided that any story with a redemption arc for a rapist automatically “eroticizes” abuse, like there’s zero difference between depicting something and endorsing it is proof you’re another feeble minded victim of these manhwas. i guess nuance just isn’t that exciting for you. i can engage with morally messy fiction without suddenly becoming pro‑rape. shocking, i know. this manhwa doesn’t portray abuse as some throwaway “phase,” it’s literally the central conflict, which is why it’s already bad to read but even more disgusting to defend in the first place. it’s not up to me irl to decide if the raped wants to be with their rapist. is it ideal? fuck no. but in fiction i CHOOSE to read i have the right to acknowledge the development of these relationships and shit on ones that have no depth beyond the raped being raped. it’d be one thing if the mc got raped a couple times then blah blah blah psychological drop but his common sense is raped away and he ends up with ml. that’s it and that’s all. how ironic it is for you to claim you’re “calling out double standards” while claiming moral high ground for criticizing my tolerance of a redemption arc in a story that addresses its abuse, then turn around and excuse this that exists almost entirely to sexualize and glamorize rape without consequence. that isn’t “girlbossing” or “being woke”, you’re cherry‑picking which depictions of sexual violence you’re fine with based on whether they suit your sick taste. if the real issue that you think you’re clocking me for is “romanticizing rape”, then the fetish porn you’re defending should be the first thing on your list. you could probably fool a toddler but anybody with a functioning brain knows what you are, and a hypocrite isn’t even the half of it.
Did not read all that but let’s just shake hands and agree that we’re both problematic then. Or at least you could agree to drop the standards lol.
y’all are so sick and deranged finding any way to support this. what do YOU gain from being purposely ignorant and ignoring the harm that comes from normalizing or eroticizing such violence? even in fiction, works that romanticize or sexualize abuse can desensitize people to real‑life trauma, breed/encourage harmful stereotypes about victims, and reinforce the idea that consent is negotiable or irrelevant. even though people can have their fantasies that they explore in safe, consensual ways, manhwas like this that represent rape as “arousing” without clear condemnation blurs the fine line between fantasy and endorsement, which fuels the disgusting attitudes y’all have in these comments. we’re old enough to know fiction doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It shapes perceptions, especially for teenagers who don’t fully grasp the difference between fantasy and reality. these are the same people who go on to look at real victims like they’re objects for entertainment or proof of their fantasies, showing how your downplaying to “fetish content” and “fiction” actively bleed into real‑world dehumanization. a DEEP reality check is needed.
