Actually JK, i reskimmed it and my opinion has changed. Apparently my memory really is that bad. With stories like that this, it's harder to keep track bc there are some instances like their first time, and the shower incident, that definitely was rape. And then there's the blow job or the time JJk was drunk where I'd argue it wasn't(of KD). More forced than not though, ill admit.
I do still think KD entering the agreement itself was by his own voluntary choice. In rereading it, his decision was primarily based on not only the loan sharks, but more so wanting the more expensive treatment for his grandmother. I wouldn't say JJK really exploited the situation be wasn't even aware of KD's debts or grandmother's hospital fees until after he made the offers to KD, and they were both given an opportunity to state their terms
It does bother me that KD was written to fall in love so early on, when things weren't even going particularly well. To me it felt more like hero's worship bc the man swooped in and solved his primary issues(Note: its not unheard of that someone's financial well-being is prioritized over physical autonomy).
I think what would have made this infinitely better is if their terms of contract stated that JJK could withhold payment if unprovided for. Now, this may sound sleazy, but its contractually fair, bc he's not actively harming KD any further. It would be leaving KD as he was before.
yessss i agree, the relationship was a ‘contract’/transactional relationship where jjk said his conditions were ‘whenever and wherever’. two things can be true 1 dan agreed to the conditions jjk set for their ‘relationship’ and 2 jjk treated dan horribly.
Bitch don't pmo now when tf did i bully you? Di you have victim complex or something? You bitches literally getting your panties in a twist for nothing over a simple reply lol
You know that it's on the top of homepage right? That means i can open the comments anytime and reply to a comment if I want it's not rocket science.
they tell people to kill themselves everyday but god forbid you criticize their favorite gay porn
and in what ways did jk treat dan horribly? by raping him
Literally omg so butthurt just because i said that it has rape and it's crazy how casually she's even using the r word as an insult
This is not rape. Rape doesn’t ask questions rape sees, and it takes. I literally had to go back to chapter 1,2 and three just to make sure I got it right and all those people JK had in his bed, he either paid or ask for them to get in bed with him. Yes I will note that Dan did not want to accept his proposal. But from the jump him eavesdropping behind the door should never have happened if he did not like what he saw he should’ve left but he didn’t he entered the house then JK explained his situation and he gave Dan a proposal. Dan did not want to take that proposal, but he had to take care of his debt and I think his grandma so he needed the money and he accepted, and that’s why you have to stand behind your morals if he did not want to be there, he wouldn’t have been there.
Now I will say rape is not something that should be normalized, I shouldn’t be reading something with rape in it and not feel slightly disturbed. I’m supposed to feel weird but we shouldn’t make it a taboo subject. Things that we make taboo lead to those things happening in secret like when America ban alcohol people still drunk alcohol and that lead to more people being alcoholics.
Rape is something that CAN be written about. In a perfect world Rape shouldn’t be written about because it wouldn’t exist, but it does exist so we have to talk about it. So when an author chooses to write a story with rape in it. You have to take it with a grain of salt.
Personally, I don’t know this author and maybe he or she is the worst person on earth, and I do not know the reason behind them writing this story but what I do know is that them writing the story is like throwing a rock into a lake. Do you think a kid at 14 (though I do think it’s that’s a bit young to be reading certain types of manga) in a world that thinks rape is a taboo subject understands the effects rape has on the other person like I said rape sees, and it takes. (I chose that age because that’s around the age that you start thinking about who you are. Rape is not something that pops up out of nowhere it’s something that you nurture and allowed to fester into something big and disgusting.)
Your job as a reader is to be in the comments, not bashing the author, but telling people rape is not normal and it is not right. There are many fish in the sea and if you see someone you like and they do not like you back no is no or saying consent is hot. It’s your job to change the narrative. A story is still a story at the end of the day. It’s what you make of it that matters and stop bashing people for reading stories. If you cannot read it, my love do not read the story it’s OK to find something else.
