I didn’t know people even had an issue with this but I love this story so much! I reread it a lot because the mutual longing and pining between the two of them just really hits me in the feels and you can tell how much Ouga cares for Shiba… he loves him so much. There are so many details like how he loves to brush Shiba’s tail or even how he loathes himself a little for thinking of Shiba in a sexual way (at first) because he wants to cherish him. The misunderstanding between them might be a bit cliche but this story has one of the sweetest relationships I’ve ever read and it makes me want to cry.
Anyways idk who’s trying to slutshame Ouga but yall need to chill. The point is that Ouga was assaulted by that cow lady and taught that sex with others was the only solution to his problem (not wanting to hurt Shiba/herbivores). He internalizes this lesson and doesn’t stop doing it because in a way sex with these people he doesn’t care about is a way to punish himself. A lot of people cope with SA with hypersexuality, it’s a trauma response and coping mechanism. Slutshaming Ouga for what is either a completely normal biological thing or what is possibly a trauma response is fucking stupid and is the rhetoric of the people who would try to exorcise you for reading yaoi. Literally chill.
