Richard really rubs me the wrong way like the guy needs help. The panels where there’s no light in his eyes and he has this eerie blank stare terrified the fuck out of me.

I see what u mean, but i think that's just trauma haha, kids learn empathy and emotional intelligence at a young age but he didn't have any parental figures in his life
Neurodivergence may also be in play here, where he would have needed more support to understand those concepts, he got A LOT less support than the avg child
THAT SAID, HE IS A GROWN ADULT NOW, so u being on guard is lowkey u just having good survival instincts haha
Why did it have to get rapey like she wanted to stop hello?
I think it's the translation
Contextually it’s not treated as such so just chalk it up to poor translations. A series that takes consent seriously wouldn’t do that
I hope so, he’s been very careful of his urges for the sake of her wellbeing so far—this episode just didn’t seem to fit his usual approach. I’d hate to see him go down that path.
11 dislikes is crazy
unfortunately, even in early chaps he can't really control himself sometimes
I've noticed that any complaint/criticism that involves consent, some readers get their non-con liking panties in a twist. "It's fiction, it's not that deep" for me it is!
They're weird asf like How are you bothered over a stranger not wanting rapey bullshit in the story? How does someone not liking it affect you so?
