not really valid for revenge because he didn't actually "bully" the bottom, he simply rejected him and beat him up for harassment. Idk if there's more to it, but if the back story was as it is, then it's not valid.

That’s what I’m saying, he *was* homophobic while rejecting him, but later couldn’t care less about the uke’s gayness and was way more concerned with the harassment and stalking. Beating someone up for trying to SA you and them being like “but I still like you” as an excuse is a valid crashout imo. The seme's a bad person, but he deserves jail, not blackmailing, stalking, SA, and harassment.
I lowkey don't understand the shojin hate train. I mean as far as the story goes, he hasn't done anything THAT horrible and made obvious moves to pursue kiyoko. He also just gave pieces of advice to mikoto and kiyoko as he was the only one that knew their situation at the time. Personally, I would've said the same advice as he did even if it was considered as overstepping. Ultimately, it was up to the ml and fl on how they'll handle their fake dating (turned to misunderstanding). Anyways, I don't hate him :)
