What can I say

Acknowledging imperfection is different from normalizing the problematic behavior of an unapologetic, delusional control freak who projects his rapist tendencies onto other people and objectifies his "love" interest

• Normalizing: "he almost raped him but he got rich for chun so it's okay~" "he'll kidnap my gf so i should go along with what he wants"

• Unapologetic: error 404: apology not found

• Delusional: that he thought he actually had sex with chun

• Control freak: "i, an unrelated person, is entitled to stop chun from having consensual sex"

• Projection: "taka is a pervert," said the actual pervert

• Rapist tendencies: "I'm taking you to my apartment right after this" and at least one other instance

• Objectification: treating chun as a trophy without his own will i.e. the right to choose for himself

So unreasonable to gatekeep criticism (which isn't necessarily disrespect)... and to even simp for such a character...

There is already a lack of representation in media content of healthy L(G)BT relationships as it is. Works like this have potential and impact beyond just another yaoi manga or PWP. Let them be talked about.

Age restriction is well-intended but very limiting. Young people should be able to read stories about young people. Of course, discourse should also be unrestricted so everyone can learn.

Anyway, in conclusion: Everyone is imperfect, but not everyone is excusable.

    I might be weird but the amount of you using vocabulary feel so satisfying to read, it really felt like your speaking on a podium.
