the lack of respect that the ml has for the mc to meet the person who traumatized him and then basically agree with the abuser and gaslight the mc into thinking how he was treated was fine bc these poor sadists can’t control their actions apparently. the way both the ml and the ex look down on the mc is frustrating. this would’ve been a lot more interesting to me if the story showed that the experience of the ml being an M in the past made him able to be a good S as he knows what it’s like to be on the other end of the stick and he had properly chewed out the ex for being a condescending prick.
