Because the gangster left the pink haired guy no other choice
I get where you're coming from but to be fair they didn't go all the way.
...are u really trying to justify sexual harassment?
I didn’t say the gangster guy was in the right, just that in this scene the pink haired guy was in the wrong
Pink-haired guy did this only to save his own skin: because he has no other way to make the gangster stop trying to abduct, torture and kill him. The uke was already in jail for sth he didn't do so he can't go to the cops, and the gangster is already a complete f**cker that kills people no problem... The gangster had it coming. I see no double standard.
Even if they did I’m sure the people in this comment section wouldn’t have any prob with it
Nah, the gangster was trying to do his job and find out where the pink haired guy’s sister and boyfriend was because they literally DUPED him. If you don’t want a gangster on your tail, don’t double cross gangsters in the first place. If anything this is the sister and boyfriend’s fault for tricking the gangster and pulling her innocent brother into her dirty affairs.
Yes people are pleasingly surprised because it’s unusual, too. But I think they wouldn’t complain that much if in that case it’d have been the other way around. Why? Because here the assault is not due to some sexual desire / unrequited love and other lame af "reasons" usually used when it happens in yaoi. Here is because his life is in danger, and not to forget he had been kidnapped and almost beaten to death. (would have if not for his brilliant escape.) So yeah, I don’t think it’s just a matter of "For once it’s not uke who is sexually assaulted”, as I think people would have still not been revolted if the roles were reversed.
Look, there's technically no excuse for murder either, yet if someone does it in self-defense, it's another story, right? This is the same thing... Unless you really think it'd been better if the pink-haired guy had just killed the gangster to solve the problem...
This was much more merciful than the uke just killing the gangster, crippling him or whatever. bESIDES, killing the ganster wouldn't really solve the problem for the uke because the mafia usually avenge their own and the uke's sister still has sth that they want back desperately. Like I said, the uke had no other choice.
I was not “pleasantly surprised” at any of this though? 100% sure more people would’ve called out the seme had the roles been reversed and the reactions would’ve been different. Yes I thought the uke was quirky and enjoyed his character up to this point but really I can’t stand how the first thing that comes to mind to commenters is “woooww that was so sexyy, the uke is so badass and his bf is a champ for going along with his little escapade!!” it’s disappointing
Yeah so bind him against his will and suck his dick right? Good alternative thanks for the advice
He said he would kill the pink-haired boy because he didn't really need him. Then when the uke bit him the gangster said to kill him. And even if the pink haired guy was not sure he'd kill him he wants to protect his sister. I agree the sister's a piece of work, but she's still his only family and can't blame the uke for imagining what a bunch of vengeful lawless gansters will do to a girl like her once they get their hands on her (rape, forced prostitution to compensate for the money she stole or the trouble she caused, etc etc).
I agree - I don't think a role reversal would have changed the circumstances...the seme is a gangster who literally had the uke beat and held hostage while threatening his family. The uke simply used what he could to save his and his sister's LIVES
See, kids. This is why we don’t mess with yakuza in the first place. Yes blackmailing the gangster is surely the way to make him stop messing with you, of course he’ll just forget about all the money stolen from him, that pink haired guy made such a good decision it surely won’t get the gangster guy even more mad. This whole thing is settled and over with :D
Refer to my comment directly under yours.
Oh believe me, he will be fine... It's not like the guy will end up traumatized... He is a mafia gangster so he traumatizes other people for a living, he 's done much worse to other people already... What exactly do you think gangsters do, otherwise? Moreover, Asian mafia gansters? Do drug dealing, prostitution and human trafficking, etc, ring any bells?
Yeah I’m not worried about how he’s gonna take it. Cause like you already said, he’s a gangster and all. It’s just the double standard that got to me. Please inform me of any mangas/webtoons were the uke has raped/sexually harassed the seme and got as much backlash as stories where the seme rapes the uke. I’m genuinely just curious.
That's different than saying the pink haired dude shouldn't do this and that readers who understand why he does it have a double standard... Pick an argument, dude.
And I agree... it's a long shot with big chances of backfiring. Maybe it's because the pink-haired guy has no idea yet *why* exactly the gangster's after his sister. And with this there's still a chance he'll let them live after getting the money back, or that he'll let the siblings off and take it out just on the sister's boyfriend alone. Anyway, I still can't blame him for trying.
I can’t blame him for trying to get away either, of course no one wants to die or see their sister get hurt. I would be just as fine with this webtoon if the mc just didn’t bind, record, and pop one off of the gangster. That’s where it all went wrong for me. His reasons aside, sexual harassment against someone’s will and especially for blackmail isn’t great content no matter if it’s the seme doing it to the uke or vice versa.
Oh, I think I see now what you really mean. I mean, if the pink-haired guy had forcefully penetrated the gangster in the backside, readers would probably be against it and feel uncomfortable. That sounds like a double-standard until you consider there IS this homophobic view in society that those gays who put it in are "not as bad" as those that receive it...
There's this whole mentality that putting it in another guy is not as bad to a man's "masculinity" as receiving another guy's member, and that being forcefully "ridden" or blown by another guy is not as traumatizing and damaging to a man's "pride" as being forcefully penetrated by another guy, or forced to blow them, would have been: I mean, homophobic subordinates and fellow gangsters who saw that video wouldn't humiliate him as much as they would if it was the gangster who was getting penetrated or blowing the other guy.
...So, readers who're getting on the pink-haired dude's side might be thinking the pink-haired dude let the gangster be the one blown (aka the more "masculine one") in the video out of some consideration for the wellbeing of his "manly ego", when in fact a video where he penetrated the gangster in the butt might have been more "effective" as blackmail (and/or served to make the gangster much more crazy with the desire for revenge).
The seme s men beat the uke up and almost killed him plus the seme is a gangster which means he most likely did tons of bad shit and you are complaining abt the uke s action damn what a karen
Wow y’all really suck like for reals. If this was the other way around and the usual trope with the seme touching the uke without consent and blackmailing him y’all would be complaining real hard. I don’t understand why it’s different in this case? Don’t get me wrong, I understand that it’s just fiction and that I can choose to stop reading. I was actually really looking forward to this webtoon but honestly this chapter put me off, as well as the comments squealing about how “sexy” and “uncensored” it was like wow what a double standard（￣へ￣）
