i actually cried on the middle schooler story bc the poor boy was in a toxic environment. I feel no sorrow for the death of his predator cousin. the story attempted to show the reality of gay ppl rather than the fluffy stuff from fictions, i think i agree and understand on what has happened and been said on the inner conflicts of the mc, the internalized homophobia, especially that many lgbtqia+ do live in conservative environments where heteronormativity is pushed down our throats. this showed the fetishization of gay men and this made me think how many people dead ass need to get this out of their heads bc reality is far from it. they still end up showing it as something quirky, i didnt like it. its nice that the girl tried to be understanding but i hate the fact that the bl thing is hard to separate for her. a lot of what been said here are true but the portrayal of some are really bad. i HATE that the pedophile was shown as a good guy when this motherfucker is a disgusting piece of shit. I HATE that they portray pedophilia as something acceptable if you are gay.
