I feel like having the whole “teen boy prostitutes himself bc he doesn’t feel accepted” concept is so trashy. There’s a number of different ways the author could show how the uke found acceptance when he felt so alienated being gay that does not involve fucking old men. I held out hope the uke was just meeting the men at hotels and letting them carcasses his feet/legs in heels, but was so disappointed to see he was used instead.
