I just remembered I used to hate “A Girl & Her Guard Dog” anime so bad That shit is disgusting af ! I really don’t support those stories where someone watches a kid grow up and manipulates or grooms them into becoming their future partner that’s straight up disgusting But in this case, it’s clearly not like that and I just hope Taegu never catches feelings or that the author doesn’t take it in a weird direction

Some of u who call Taegu a pedo just because of the age gap are so quick to act morally righteous without actually observing anything or understanding the difference between lusting after a child and showing/ feeling sympathy.
know nothing of the context or character nuance .. isn’t morality, it’s lazy thinking Ok ? You guys jump to conclusions without a shred of critical observation, acting like you’re on some moral high ground, when in reality, you’re just spewing surface level outrage without depth (-_-)
Are u all really that fucking stupid !!? That’s your projection, not the character’s. Why does u guys mind immediately jump to that conclusion??? There’s a massive difference between predatory behavior and empathy and if u guys can’t see that, maybe you're not mature enough to even be reading this story ngl
Yeongwon had bruises on his body. He was hiding pain. Any normal adult with a working brain and even a hint of compassion would show concern. But somehow, some of u’all mind takes that concern and twists it into perversion. That says more about u than about the character
I won’t defend Taegu if he ever actually crosses the line into real predatory behavior toward Yeongwon but right now, you guys are blindly comparing him to the worst parts of society and that’s disgusting af
Fix ur mindset before pretending to be the voice of morality. Because from where I’m standing, it’s clear anyone with common sense and emotional intelligence can see the difference between compassion and perversion. The fact that u can't? That's ur problem

Youre right
I dont fw the whole "hes a pedo" thing CAUSE this chapter clearly showed it isnt
But im disgusted by taegu catching feeling for yeongwoon cause wtf he literally was a large part of most of his sufferings
Okay he feels sympathy, fuck his sympathy
Its like you stab someone and feel pity for their pain
I lowkey hate him he deserves to stay away from yeongwoon's life

I agree and disagree to some degree lmao reason being that he is confirmed to be the 2nd lead and intrested in him that's why it's so much easier to jump to conclusions when it comes to him since people already know that he's catching feelings for someone he watched grow up starting from age 14 currently what taegu feels def isn't romantic but the fact that he will have feelings for him is already out there

Let’s not pretend this is some simple ‘stab and pity’ situation. This isn’t black and white. it’s trauma, guilt and emotional complexity wrapped in one f*cked up bond. You
hate Taegu for catching feelings i can understand that reaction. But let’s not twist it into some fake purity narrative. You think Yeongwon hasn’t changed too? He’s not some innocent child anymore he’s someone who understands the ugliness.
I also understand that u want Taegu to stay away from YW. But acting like healing or redemption is impossible just because he's part of the hurt? What did he deliberately do to hurt YW exactly??
People aren’t just their worst moments and characters like Taegu aren’t written to make us comfortable, they’re written to make us think. Pretending that sympathy, guilt and love can’t coexist in a character who's emotionally wrecked that's just denial with seasoning i believe

the second lead setup definitely makes people hyperaware, especially when there's a known age gap involved. But I think the problem is less about what will happen and more about how people are already labeling it.
I’m not saying this to deny ur point but do u really think 'watching someone grow up' automatically equals grooming? That completely erases all the emotional nuance and trauma both characters are dealing with.

Some Taegu haters just lack common sense. It’s obviously so forced. Do you all really think gangsters always give to charity or something?

Did you even read properly? Why does everything look pedophilic to you? Yeongwon had a serious bruise on his body and any decent adult with a conscience would naturally be concerned if a child is clearly hiding an injury. You're twisting basic empathy into something twisted. Just because he looked doesn't mean it's sexual. That's your projection, not the story’s. Maybe step back and ask yourself why your mind immediately jumps to that conclusion. You sound more disturbed than the characters you're accusing.

It’s wild how confidently people throw out accusations based on vibes instead of actual story content. If one scene unsettled you, that’s fair but jumping straight to ‘creep’ says more about your own projections than the author’s intent.
The author showing emotional tension doesn’t automatically mean it’s romantic or creepy. That’s just basic storytelling. Not every emotionally charged scene is there to support your fan theory.
If you need to twist a single caregiving moment into something sinister just to support your hate, maybe you’re not the one who should be reading this fiction. Just drop it yeah?
There are three types of Taegu haters:
The lazy ones who toss around baseless labels like "pedo" without context.
The ones mad because he doesn't fit your "gangsta swoops in to save the day" fantasy.
And, of course, the Seo-in simps who can’t handle nuance.
If you need to twist a character’s actions into something sinister just to justify your hate, maybe you’re not the kind of reader who can handle layered storytelling. Just drop the story yeah ? I'll keep reading, because I actually appreciate all three well-written characters, flaws and all.
I love taegu’s character… I love how multi dimensional he is, and his design
I understand that some people hate on Taegu because he might catch feelings for Yeongwoon. I can accept reasonable criticism like 'he’s not exactly a morally good person' and that’s the whole point of his character. What I can’t stand are the brainless takes from people who hate on him just for the sake of it. They refuse to engage with the emotional complexity of his character. Well they deserve those flat, flaw-free, saint-like characters with zero cha depth. If that’s all they can handle, then maybe layered writing just isn’t for them.
Yes, it’s boring when the characters are perfect saints. It’s unrealistic - people are never that flat, perfectly moral and uncomplex, I think the reason why humans are so interesting and great to write stories about, is because they’re so multi-dimensional, complicated and often times morally gray.
