Oh look, it's the "I was raped when I was younger and that's why I'm homophobic now" trope again

This is not because he doesn't care that taehee is dating a man that he can't show homophobic behaviour.
English is not my mother tongue so I sometimes don't use the right words but being raped/molested here IS used as the trope of why he's treating Yeonwoo like shit and we see this storyline sooooooo many times that's it's getting boring. I'd like that writers would stop using sexual assault to justify why their carcater is a dick.

english isnt my mother language either so i’m sorry if i’m also confusing.
but okay so him being molested shouldn’t be an excuse for treating yeonwu like shit yes i agree on that!!
the trope you mentioned of him being homophobic as a result of being molested is false though. he isn’t homophobic, he doesn’t hate yeonwu cuz he’s a guy that kissed him, he hates him because he kissed him while he was sleeping aka molested him.
the trope would be more like “i was taken advantage in the past so now i take advantage of togethers and treat them like shit” !! i don’t disagree with anything that you said but wanted to correct the wording you used for the trope.
i completely agree on your last sentence ppl shouldn’t use his past to justify his actions. it’s just an explanation of why he acts the way he does, NOT an excuse!!
Duke really said "now that our hearts are connected" ldjrkrnr I'm screaming
Why is he so whipped
