killing stalking author . take that as you will

..i was really reading all the stuff by merryweather on webtoon back in the day.

★: 1.5 - 2 (read x1) || TW: pedophilia, sexual/physical abuse, rape, blackmail || (spoilers) jesus . even in the context of like a psychological sort of thing this is kind of insane. maybe the author just wanted to draw this idk. would be really pretty gross. but if that werent the case its an interesting sort of. thing like metaphorically if youre pushed to do things that you would have done anyway, does it still mean it was a conscious decision if you know what i mean. would you have done it anyway? and also like if youre "forgiven" by one person it doesnt make the problem go away. like he allowed bullying to happen and then the one blackmailing him wasnt the one to tell on him which sort of showed that actions always have consequences (overlying theme). but also if you're depicting pedophilia and rape and blackmail there always is that like thin line between representing something and fetishizing it and i just never can really tell which it is. so assuming it is Not, this is my take and it is like. a 1.5 sort of thing. the yaoi tag on this is kind of crazy i would not have marked it as that personally just.. personally. like horror/thriller or something psychological or whatever would make more sense unless we're trying to market this as romantic which is a little insane guys. but overall takeaway is yes the teacher is a pedophile and deserves everything that happens to him, the student is really the most interesting character (really apathetic and conniving and acts as an antagonist almost but not necessarily the villain, since that would be the teacher, especially from the student's perspective.) and i think the overall themes are of revenge and consequence. which is interesting i just think points always have to be taken off in the case that it's written fetishistically by the author . which i think this author has a few problems with coming across that way so i mean always keep it in mind lol
