hot take

hot take: y’all only complain that what juyeon is doing to jiwook is “too far” or “not okay” bc you are seeing first hand what is happening to jiwook. if u saw it from juyeon’s perspective as a child, i promise you’d be even more horrified. y’all have empathy for the original abuser but i guess the line is drawn when it comes to a victim getting his lick back. unpopular opinion.

    The issue is he harms other because of his revenge. He makes the uke do it with a dog, I read the side story and felt so bad for it

    The dog stuff was written out of the story, though I agree that getting a pet involved is pretty awful. I wanted to clarify that Jiwook is the one who sexually abuses the dog first. They’re both evil for participating in it.

    equating rape and torture to a simple lick back isnt right either....they were both victims and abusers to each other as simple as that and justifying on who had a more horrible experience bcs of a bias shouldnt be the case.

    i mean isnt that how the author meant for it to be portrayed? without reading the novel or spoilers, this manhwa is just 30 chapters of a seemingly innocent man getting violently raped. Ofc when you find out what jiwook did, juyeon’s actions are more understandable, but so far you can’t really blame the readers for sympathizing with jiwook.

    Because he’s fucked up, I guess he needs sex in order to feel stable and since Juyeon isn’t around all the time he resorts to the dog.

    jiwook abuses the dog first. i’m saying that ppl sympathizing with the victim but not understanding how bad it had to have been to be juyeon & go thru it as a kid are the issue.

    none of the abuse in the manhwa is easy to stomach but you’re especially depraved to include an animal. idk why but my brain just says “stop at the animal”. the whole thing is not okay, but idk i can’t handle including the dog

    ppl in the comments have mostly gotten the spoilers already. almost every day someone responds to someone asking for spoilers. the title is also “Revenge” so with a modicum of common sense you already know juyeon was the original victim. it feels like everyone’s empathy stops short of the actual victim. like y’all can see this portion of the story and think “this is awful”, but can’t then infer that what juyeon went thru was worse? he was a child so it’s worse. as a victim, it makes me sick to think ppl have more empathy for an abuser than for a victim. i don’t think that was the point the author was trying to make— “any abuse is bad” — like y’all are so morally shortsighted. i don’t read rape yaoi other then this one bc of the moral quandary it poses. to see so many ppl miss that is upsetting.
