Ed and creed both got exposed and they were going through it. Ed got outed, lost his job, and his coworkers/friends started looking down on him. He was upset with everything going on and he spoke out of anger hurting creed. I’d say it was because creed was directing the pornos while ed was getting into the acting. Ed thought about how if he never entered the porn industry, he could have avoided all of that and he partially blamed creed for it.
Also, I’m not really sure about the film creed made with ryan. Ryan explicitly says that creed is a rapist, but I thought the piece they recorded together was all acting(?). However, I do believe that creed exploited him. We see ryan saying he wanted to be reborn because of his life choices regarding his career, he also worries about getting recognized, so him always being on edge and calling creed a rapist probably stems from the stress and trauma he gained while working in the porn industry. Ultimately, I think creed used ryan for his own benefit (exploitation), and not in a sexually abusive way (rape). This is how I viewed it, so please feel free to correct me!
I think it’s kinda of both, Creed used Ryan for his own benefit on the behalf of creating “art”, and he also hurt him in a sexually abusive way (Ryan said Creed is no different from all those “rapist” studios).
Damn, thank you for clarifying. Idk but I can never like rapist characters even if they completely change. In my opinion, there is no redemption for them. I don’t think I like this story anymore lmaoo. If only the author left this part out boooo
I just reread this manhwa a few days ago too. I remember being extremely interested in it when I first read it, but now I don’t feel the same anymore when I acknowledged that not only Chang but McQueen also kinda a rapist himself too but I’m glad the author didn’t give the rapist any redemption arc, there’s no need for justification of what they did, rape is rape and they should be imprisoned, that’s all
ohhh that makes sm sense i finally get it hahaha thank u smmm
pls guys explain to me what the fuck happened basically i half understood the story but why did ed and creed break up and why was he saying all those hurtful thing to him and blaming him for him being a porn director ?? idk and what happened between creed and ryan did creed rape him ? or did he force him into doing a documentary or smth idk im so lost i have so many questions i feel like i’m so dense
