It's not that the kid is dumb. He's terrified. He's also shown to be meek. He isn't kicking up a fuss because he's either/both a) terrified the seme will hunt him down or b) feel that he isn't worth the police's time.
He s fucking retarted
I VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A DUMB UKE AND I VE READ LIKE 4000 YAOI MANGAS (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
The thing if he’s so terrier he would have never went home. The kid has been established he’s completely scared of confrontation. Even if he couldn’t rely on the police the next best thing is wait in a 24hr convenience store that’s so many in Japan (Since his money was stolen so can’t do a motel/hotel) then attempt to go during broad daylight.i know he was escaping his bullies but he could duck in another store not in the line of sight. He can call the police while there to check the apartment for him. That’s taking into consideration his fear and just simple logic of an assailant who has repeatedly broken into your home and you are aware of it. I’m not condemning him for being scared nor that he was attacked I’m annoyed simple pragmactic thinking goes out the window in these plots is all. Even something actually screaming upon seeing his assailant as he opens the door to notify a possible neighbor of a disturbance. If he was the forethought to report an attack and be established as avoiding conflict to utterly change himself to be unrecognizable, he’s clearly not stupid but has become for the plot’s sake.
Retarded is not a nice word to say, but he is pretty dumb.
you guys are so weird... you're calling him retarded after he was raped... lol
Well i never said that I’m commented on his inconsistent realism. If you actually follow me on this site you’d know I’d be the first to call out a rape to love plot.
It is so bizarre so many people are getting offended about a comment on inconsistent characterization about an established character personality in reaction to trauma aversion but don’t care whatsoever when plots of a similar nature have a character just readily accept being raped and gush and cheer when they fall in love with their hot sempai rapist. Ya’ll pick and choose in the worst way in actually giving a shit.
You sound like an a*shole. He’s a realistic character. How you gonna call someone the R word after he was raped? The kid is terrified. He called the cops. The cops did nothing. What else is he suppose to do? He has nowhere else to go.
I agree. Also people forget the ongoing stigma of men who have been victims of assault. He's a boy saying that his stuff was stolen and he has a criminal around. But said criminal hasn't appeared recently. Police most likely will internally say "Oh, well. He's a boy, he'll be fine" There's also the stigma against rape in Japan. You think it's hard for Japanese women to report a rape? Try saying that as a man. He'd most likely get laughed at and made fun of. Men aren't as supportive of each other in cases like these as you may think. To them, that man who was assaulted is basically emasculated and they joke about how he's now a gay butt boy.
To take it to the extreme, think of Terry Crews and Johnny Depp. They were basically told no one would believe them or take them seriously as victims of abuse because they were men.
I'm not sorry if this offends anyone because you don't make fun of victims of abuse or call them retards EVER.
So if you are going yo be raped you will act like hin? That makes 2 retards
Uh yeah? I’ll call the cops, just like he did. But I have families and friends to help me out. This kid doesn’t. It’s two different situations. Stop being ignorant. You’re not the cool edgy 12 yrs old you think you are.
NO ONE ACTS LIKE THIS WHEN SHE HE IS RAPED U CAN ACT VICTIMS OF RAPE
Go back to school. How tf u gonna tell a raped victim how she/he should act? Move.
What inconsistency? The author established the kid as meek and a loner. His mom also isn’t home. He’s by himself most of the time. This is realistically how someone like him would react to a situation that he never confronted before. Given the kid was also bullied during his earlier years, and most likely had no one to help him out, it’s easy to see how he thinks he can’t seek help this time either. Although, he did, and the police undermined the severity of his situation.
Also, don’t generalize. How you know these ppl who pick at your comment don’t also pick at those cliche trashy BLs with romanticized rape? I do.
Go read the thread on Happyface143 because I’m not going to waste my time explaining how continuity writing works when people clearly don’t understand how character writing works in a genre that frequently character assassinates in as little as panel to panel . Let alone adding such a traumatic experience such as rape as it ties into how an established characterization should play out if the character’s experience is truly in mind and not for just for the sake of the author just furthering the plot through pivotal moments. BL is a terrible example of actual good storytelling. Some exceed and are outliers but it’s just capitalizing porn in a more aesthetically palatable medium after all.
And I’m not even bothering about the second portion of your statement my post history speaks for itself in how I approach and feel about sexual violence fetishized. I literally have a reputation. I talk the talk and walk the walk I can’t say the say the same for many of the readers. And if they have taken my post as insulting their delicate sensitivities, they didn’t bother to actually read my post and if they project their own limited understanding of realistic and thoughtful rape experiences within a story that’s creating unreliable and irrational cause and effects that’s their own business. Not everyone handles trauma the same nor should they. But when writing and drawing these experiences there is absolutely wrong with critiquing if there is fault in that author’s portrayal especially so when ultimately this is just another rape to love plot yet again and character motivation and actions are done to introduce this faster. My opinion is as valid. It’s your opinion to think otherwise if that’s the interpretation you’ve decided to die on.
“I literally have a reputation”
Mf nobody knows who you are and I’m not gonna go through your history to see your redundant know-it-all posts. It’s fiction and it’s been TWO chapters, not even enough to judge. Using fancy wordings aint gonna make you look any smarter, trust me. Get off your high horse and stop generalizing people. Just don’t read BL at all if the porn irritates you so much. You’re contradicting yourself with the amount of annoyance you show against BL despite reading tons of them. Are you a masochist or what?
“Not everyone handles trauma the same” Exactly. So stop pretending you can tell a rape victim how they should act. The author has a history of writing dark plots. Clearly that was what she’s going for. It’s not a rape to love story btw. I’ve read the raws. You clearly don’t know that and love to assume just to show how righteous your mindset is, do you? Funny how that works.
i can't even take this seriously it's like the MC is brain dead, he's been raped attacked and robed actually notifies the police only to have his assailant appear right in front of the police doesnt report him immediately. Has multiple opportunities to do so while he's alone in college in a more public setting or even on his walk to his apartment to reach a patrolling officer as a precaution, but decides to literally do nothing.....I know characters have to be impossibly dumb for these events to work in BL but it just takes you completely out of the story when the character is just this dumb.
