I was rooting for him until today’s chapter and backstory. Now I see he’s more like a brotherly figure than a lover.
Oh my god, y’all need to know the definition of a groomer to make these accusations.
wdym grooming..? Also we've seen nothing romantic between then so far .
Right? lol like not once was it ever shown hyung made advances or any romantic/sexual moves nor made the uke dependent on him. There was no grooming
nah for real. they'll see any kind of familiar relationship between an adult and a teenager and will call it grooming. these people have completely ruined the actual meaning and weight of the word at this point.
LITERALLY ??? like can you please look up what grooming means before you throw it around like that..
ignore the lame ass replies you're so right, its creepy as hell
if he met him as a kid and then tries to date him now, thats grooming.
no it's not you fuckin dumbass. seriously go look up the meaning of the word before you say the stupidest shit. it's exactly because of dumb people like you CONSTANTLY misusing the word that they lose any meaning to them and people don't take actual survivors seriously. just go outside and touch some grass, come back inside and look up the definition of "grooming". grooming isn't whatever the fuck YOU PERSONALLY feel is grooming, it has a definition and "meeting someone as kids, trying to date them as an adult" (which the brown hair guy didn't do either) is *not* grooming.
grooming is defined by Oxfor Dictionary as:
"the practice of preparing or training someone for a particular purpose or activity." and
"the action of attempting to form a relationship with a child or young person, with the intention of sexually assaulting them or inducing them to commit an illegal act such as selling drugs or joining a terrorist organization."
i'm not usually one to argue semantics when it comes to things like pedophilia, but you guys are genuinely so fucking stupid it's mind boggling. where did the brown hair guy GROOM mc for the purpose of fucking/raping him? please show me the chapter where ANYTHING inappropriate happened between tnem, especially when the mc was underage. you stupid fuckers will yap and say anything. go the fuck back to twitter or tiktok or whatever other fucking sanitized place of fantasy land you come from and leave normal people like us the fuck alone.
These people are fucking brain dead istg. They’re too comfortable with their stupidity.
What? As far as the recent chapters goes, which part of it can you tell us that yeongwoon was groomed? Do you even know what grooming is? Have you seen him doing/thinking something inappropriate to yeongwoon?
so you're telling me that if you went out and met a kid, and watched them grow up in front of you, and then decided to date them after they became a legal adult, that there's genuinely nothing wrong with that? do you seriously fucking think that's normal or okay to do? do your morals not fucking exist? get a GRIP dude
don't even try to change the subject. whether it's "morally wrong" or not was not what you or the original comment were referring to. you two called it "grooming" which by definition DID NOT HAPPEN. it was not grooming. period. you two misconstrued the meaning of grooming and tried to claim mc was groomed by the other dude when it wasn't true. whether i think it's normal or morally right doesn't fucking matter because that's not what this comment was talking about. don't try to word your comment differently now to prove your stupid fucking point. don't use "grooming" when it wasn't grooming.
mc is an adult now, and so is the other dude. if they decide to do anything at this point it's consensual. the other dude never (as far as has been shown) behaved inappropriately towards mc when he was young. he never showed interest in the mc when he was young. so how is it grooming? is your brain actually melting inside your skull?
there's so much rape/SA happening inside this manhwa and motherfuckers wanna cry about some made up grooming that didn't even happen. are you ffr?
Grooming is literally and adult grooming a child to fuck him. Like where did the yakuza show he had the intention to do that???
Lol, they must have totally forgot that.
You and the others like you must be slow and lacks discernment if you didn’t noticed attraction vibe the author displayed in one of the panels from Taegu towards the uke. Appears that Taegu was attracted to uke when he was a child. Yall slow AF.
It’s displayed right in the chapter or are you slow? What the fuck is with the authors and this trope anyways… it’s disgusting.
As someone who took Social Work in Uni to work with children, I can list everything wrong with the interaction between Taegu and Uke, the OP is right, it’s giving gr00mer vibe.
"wahh wahh wahhh i took one class in uni so that makes me qualified to correctly determine when fictional manhwa characters are being groomed." there's no thing as a "groomer vibe" dumbass. either you were groomed or you weren't. which the mc here wasn't. maybe if you actually focused on your classes in uni instead of yapping all the time you would've noticed.
the hyung as sml is a no for me, grooming at its finest
