Ikr. Literally if Sooyung wanted to, he can make Taesung kill anyone he wants. But he doesn't because Sooyung is not the type that likes taking advantage of poeple.
They also keep whining about Taesung treating Sooyung like a dog. Bitch where?? Taesung didn't put a collar, chained, leash, or fed Sooyung on the floor. Literally what Taesung ever did was refer it to Sooyung in a twisted affectionate way. Like a twisted pet name. Even Sooyung is getting on that and Taesung happily goes along with it.
Yep, you can see Sooyung enjoying it. But this poeple call it physical and mental abuse like wut? If you look around you'll see people now saying Taesung raped Sooyung. Like bruh. Are these poeple blind or something? Did they read the manhwa or not? Or do they just have a very poor reading visual comprehension?
There’s a fine line between role play and rape... but at this stage it’s hard to see it as just simple “sex between two people who love each other” because it’s balancing on this fine line... the author is being ambiguous but it would not hurt to be on the safer side instead of supporting how taesang is acting right now. I’m not standing up for minhyuk simps either I’m support for minhyuk to be alone haha :3 and I know not all yaoi mangas are sweet and fluffy but we aren’t tryna say it has to be, it would be nice if it was but every story has to be different so it’s interesting. This story plot is interesting that’s why people are arguing about which POV they stand for, whether the characters’ actions are right/wrong/could be better or whatever. To simply dismiss it as we only want the fluff seems quite shallow... but I respect your view of you think this is just simply rough sex because everyone has their opinion. (Sorry just trying to explain pardon the long essay ><)
"To simply dismiss it as we only want the fluff seems quite shallow"
" I know not all yaoi mangas are sweet and fluffy but we aren’t tryna say it has to be"
That's literally what those people who criticize their relationship wants here. Bottom line is the story's overall setting is not. It ain't vanilla. This is just simply rough sex, that's what rough sex is. Hence this is their thing, it ain't normal because it isn't your typical fluffy vanilla sex. One thing is for certain is that Taesung didn't rape Sooyung. Dubcon, sure perhaps, but rape? Nah too much. It's quite clear to see that Sooyung is more or less agreeing to this albeit tacitly. Simply dismissing it as us being Taesung simps or not being able to recognize rape or just being lenient with Taesung's behavior is just shallow.
(And btw, I should let you know that I like cherry blossoms after winter. I just used it as an example because that manhwa is basically the solar opposite of this manhwa)
Aye you used my words against me haha but okay I get where you are coming from. But seeing that you mentioned “more or less” at least makes me feel at ease because you don’t 100% think that the sex is consent. Ok don’t get triggered, I’m just saying that when you mention “more or less”, it shows uncertainty in the state of mind of the person in the topic... so yea. Kinda proves my point and sorry if I just simply categorized you as simps if that’s what I came across as..
"But seeing that you mentioned “more or less” at least makes me feel at ease because you don’t 100% think that the sex is consent."
And I don't think it's rape either. That's my biggest issue with poeple here. They are just haphazardly throwing the word "rape" around. Rape to me is such a serious word/thing that's why I don't immediately brand something as rape, which is what some people are doing here. It's not 100% consent but I'm pretty sure it's at least beyond 50%, thus leading to the more less rapey side. How Sooyung himself doesn't really hate it during and afterwards just increases this percentage.
I'm sorry if I got kinda aggressive. The poeple around here just irks me sometimes due to the issue I have mentioned before. I appreciate your rather civil response.
I'm just laughing at the comment section... People think that Taesung is trying to control Sooyoung but it's actually the other way around.... It's Sooyoung who has the leash, he can make Taesung do anything for him and he knows it...
