What type relationships the author themselves are into because???? This goes past masochism, this is just verbal, physical, and sexual abuse. I get the whole “what people write doesn’t mean that they endorse it” but like…what’s the point of having this person be so shitty other than frustrating the readers to the point where they no longer even like him after a so-called redemption era, whenever that may be (maybe the real S & M relationship is between the author and us readers since they keep doing this….)
I don’t know if it’s worse or better that at this point it feels as thought the abusive nature isn’t being sexualized like in other manga (never thought I would say that in my life bc I don’t like the rape trope. I think it’s stupid and unnecessary). Actually, it shows up in sex scenes, but feels incredibly unsexy. In fact, I’m going to be bold and say none of the sex scenes feel sexy because I’m too busy boiling with rage at Asshole #1 In The World(TM) to even appreciate the artwork sometimes. In some way, him being some random “normal” person with that abusive personality instead of a hit man or a serial killer is somehow worse if that even makes any sense at all
