this. finally someone who reads this with their eyes. unlike some commenters who can't tell conflict in the story from "glorifying rape"
you do know if they end up together your point is completely invalid right?
Period! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Why would my point be invalid? The scene is what I said it is: uncomfortable. It's rape and 704 didn't give explicit consent at all, if we want to read into it we'd prolly say that he implicitly gave it to him later on when he pulled him towards himself.
Other than that it's pretty clear what happened and I'm sure 704 has enough common sense to know that this will cause a strain in their relationship.
I get that we see things differently, I just hope I made my point clear to anyone who'll read this comment (=・ω・=)
If the author still decides to have them be romantically involved later on and redeem or rather ignore geusum’s for the sake of the romantic progression this is lamp shading and it’s disingenuous and is just as problematic implying raping someone isn’t not enough to detour falling in love. It doesn’t make the author great for showing rape as unpleasant that should be the bare minimum. The fact that this is seen as praise worthy shows the prevalence of romanticized abuse/ rape in BL and speaks for the toxicity the genre perpetuates as a whole
I love how the author did such a great job that the scenes felt hella uncomfortable. Most authors would still try to romanticize that kind of situation, but this scene felt completely different. Can't wait for the updates!
