I guess I understand why she had this reaction but to VOLUNTARILY make yourself homeless is a stupid decision to make. Period. To think of all the other reasons kids are driven from their homes?! She only ever had the *luxury* of doing this because her father did the utmost to protect and provide for her.
And to pass this off as her doing it purely out of "guilt"? No. That's a part of it but this is thoroughly informed by society's patriarchy and violent stigmatisation of sex work. To sever one's relationship with some one who has provided and loved you your whole life involves a far more complex and TOXIC mix of beliefs and emotions than feeling ashamed and being a teen. Please be serious.
LOUDER FOR THE PPL IN THE BACK
I don't think folx realise what they reveal about their own attitudes about sex work and sex workers that they can so easily and simplistically interpret her actions as "guilt for making him have to do it".
Can you read? I said "a lot of reasons", guilt being one of them. //rolls eyes
Okay. And? Guilt is the most simplistic strand of what's at work here and the one most likely to obscure the violent underpinnings of what informs her behaviour, especially as you explained it. It's a facile reading. If you want the complexity in your analysis to be acknowledged and engaged with present it. You don't want to, fine, but makes no sense calling attention to the illusion.
That's just your opinion, man...not less but not more. which you could have presented without immaturely throwing an uncalled shade my way.
Hun, not again. Don't y'all live anywhere? Have homes? With furniture and appliances not inventory?
No, every couple does not have these kind of arguments. Any partner who complains about me showing love and affection to friends would get dumped in a heart beat. Enjoy the comic for what it is but these comments about how "realistic" this couple is is driving me bonkers. Sure it's realistic in depicting red flags of being in a potentially abusive relationship...(and no, one person possibly being neurodivergent is not an excuse).
I've been 24 years with my partner and we never had this kind of arguments. And it really concern me that so many people see it as something normal.
I need your secret cause God damn
If you have dealt with a neurodivergent person before, you will realise that Dojae's behaviour is realistic, and the problems being portrayed are realistic too
It doesn't make it any less annoying though
But I have. Your mistakes are
1. Treating "neurodivergent" as a kind of catch all category. (When I used it I was being sarcastic.) I don't pretend to be an expert but they are no less varied. There are certainly earlier scenes in which some of Dojae's actions and thinking could be considered autistic (as I understand it, to get specific) but show this narrative to any professional and they would have *a ton* of negative critiques. Because....
2. The uglier mistake is seeing straight forward red flags of abusive behaviour and marking it as a mental issue of whatever kind. Being controlling and possessive, trying to cut off your partner from their friends and supportive network, making them feely guilty smiling at other people, are all signs of a manipulative partner who may become abusive. *That* is what it realistically portrays...which I already stated. It is more than "annoying".
For those who are interested I recently finished a book called "Why Does He Do That?: Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men" by Lundy Bancroft. It is long lol but the language is simple and you can just read the first chapter where it debunks a lot of myths.
To anyone reading this: I'm here to enjoy all the nonsense BL like anyone else. But I want us to be able to recognise what we are reading for what it is. Anyone who comes to you IRL and tries to control any aspect of your life but ESPECIALLY major stuff like where you live, who you live with, who you are friends with and tells you it's because they are just in love with you or because they are "neurodivergent" is LYING to you (and maybe themselves but mostly to you). Run and just buy a chapter of Jinx for your danger thrills.
In a normal person, you could definitely say that the person is being deliberately manipulative, but not in a neurodivergent person.
They are not being intentionally manipulative because they do not comprehend their emotions to be so. That doesn't mean they do not come off as manipulative though. It just means that they are not doing it deliberately.
It's like when a 4 year old child says something mean to a stranger. They do not comprehend that what they said was wrong, but that does not make them right.
It is now the responsibility of their handler, or partner as in Euntak's case, to put their foot down and make them see what they did wrong and why it was wrong, which we can all see that he is doing.
It takes a ton of patience to deal with those group of people, and greater still to be in a continous romantic relationship with them.
If Dojae was not neurodivergent then I would have definitely agreed with you on how he is manipulative and how you should run away, but he is and that makes a ton of difference.
I will definitely advise though, that if you are not mentally strong enough or have tons of patience, then don't put yourself through the ordeal of being in a relationship with such people, because they require loads of work and patience
You have a very mean, prejudiced, backward idea of what it means to be neurodivergent and you hide it poorly because you're not as smart as you think you are. (In fact, you aren't at all.) My last comment.
Not sure what was happening in the comment section but I had to cackle at the uploader having to retell such a simple flashback sequence. I know it's not true but sometimes I feel as if ever since the comments returned the titles I read get stupider comments than before. Especially for those that aren't just rape or couples blushing over each other for 20 chapters while doing fuck all. (looking at you Sketch).
Yo honestly, the mangago community has been spiraling out of control ever since they shit off comments. Turning ththeththem back on just turned the light on towards all of the issues ToT
I dont know how long you've been here. but I miss the days where scanlators we more abundant, and the community had more respectful manners towards each other.
There was a system. and we just learned to appreciate it.
Before we lost comments, the comments were actually funny, interesting or respectful about what we were reading. After they came back, I've literally seen some of the stupidest things being said and perpetuated by places like Twitter and TikTok. It's also way more apparent that some comments are made from people being underage when they know this shit was not meant for them lol
only good ending for that man is six feet under.
six feet under deez nuts
I like how so many are taking the cooking certification as a romantic gesture when I thought it was him offering proof that he is less likely to commit attempted murder by food poisoning.
Oml I was like awww such a cute comment and then I ended up cackling like a broken crow
"What would you have done if I were a weirdo?"
Honey, you are The Weirdo in question, get off the phone.
Thanks to everyone who translated this title over the years. Special shout out to you single reader for allowing us to be with them till the end! You did an amazing job especially for your first translation project. <3
I do not understand how *anyone* could have missed the fact that Yeonjo has been and has always been about his revenge plan. Y'all are not reading. This is not a subtly written webtoon! LOL This man was spitting mad after every sex scene; played up to his very naive personal servant so he could fool him and leave the property; asked bout Hee-Ryang's business then went searching through his documents; and *then* switched tactics by being fake nice to Hee-Ryang. You thought he was doing all that for funsies?
Although I understand the folx who have other first languages and so have a hard time with the English. Anyway, glad we're all on the same page now. Something is going to mess with his plans but I'm not sure what, or whether the interference will trip Yeonjo or Hee-Ryang. Yeonjo's annoying stalker is back in the picture now and I wonder why.
Dang the crime on other first languages
