He was out of breath. He couldn't move. He was in shock. The lengths you people go to excuse rapists is crazy

He didn't seem to have any problems with moving when he was raping her. How convenient. He raped her more than once and they weren't in the same position the whole time so he could definitely move/stop if he wanted to.

Rape is when you don't want it to happen but it does. In this situation, if he hadn't wanted it, it wouldn't have happened. Pheromones might have made him weaker to temptation but they didn't control his thoughts/actions.

He had every reason to blame himself because he was guilty. Unfortunately that guilt didn't last too long since he felt comfortable enough to force his way back into his life against her wishes. Real victim behaviour, huh?

Your hatred runs deep. It will be eating at your heart and soul.
An action is an action, not a person. A person can make multiple actrels in their life. If they do a bad action, and then relize it is bad and reflect on it, and wont do it again, then they are forgiven. Then they are good to go.
This will give you, personally, a chance too. For when you do something terrible in your life and seeking for forgiveness.

People like you who don’t see a problem when it is a man who is getting abused is nothing surprising to me. All I see in your replies is victim blaming and hypocrisy. If he didn’t want it to happen it wouldn’t have happened. This saying can go for most of the victims of rape no? For example: she wouldn’t be raped if she didn’t go to that hotel with that man, she wouldn’t be raped if she weren’t drunk.

I also see how you’ve conveniently avoided the part where he says run away, and backs off. I don’t understand how you see he has reason and control after the girl pounced on him and all his thoughts are blaming himself for the situation. how does it look like he wants to have sex with the girl? It looks like that to you coz you are looking at it through a biased veil.

I agree with the latter part he shouldn’t have tried to force himself back in her life but coincidences exist eh? She would be hospitalized or who knows dead if he didn’t come back with his daughter to give her treatment. They weren’t meant for each other it would be a better story if they found other people in their lives.

Let’s not forget the fact that she tried to have sex with him, film it and then report it later. She also forgot the part where she was the one who raped him erased it from her memory for her own convenience. because living as a victim is easier than living as a perpetrator.

“He didn’t seem to have any problems while moving” - when women feel good during rape or their bodies move on their own, it is often said she didn’t seem to have any problem feeling good. it is still rape, no?

Most Rapists don’t feel guilt or admit they are wrong.
The girl’s trauma is valid, so is the boy’s.

This shall be my last message as I don’t see any point in indulging with this any further. Have a nice day.

My hatred for rapists and the act of rape does run deep. I don't see how that's ever a problem.

And that's also my point. If he had left his crimes/bad actions in the past, it would have been a better story. If he had shown how sorry he was by being considerate of her feelings and supportive of her decisions, your defense might make more sense.

But instead he came back, harassed her almost straight away, and then gets portrayed as a victim as if he isn't blameworthy for traumatising her again in the present. Just because he saved her when she was sick. That doesn't wipe out everything he does to her after that.

I have no intention of raping anyone and, if I did, I wouldn't deserve forgiveness from anyone. People take rape and its affect on victims way too lightly, and that's one of the reasons why perpetrators get away with what they do.

Why is that so hard to understand?

I've cried after reading many stories about male victims of rape so no, that's really not the issue here. I only feel for them when they actually are victims.

I think you should read the chapter again. If you can't see that he didn't want to have sex with her, then I don't know what else to tell you. You're speaking like he had absolutely no control over what he was doing but that's not the case.

Forcing himself back into her life was not a coincidence. It was a conscious decision. Again you're dismissing his ability to control the situation.

She only tried to film him because he cornered her and she had no other way to escape. Not because she wanted to sleep with him against his will. Big difference.


Of course that's still rape but feeling good during rape or twitching isn't the same as actively getting up and raping someone. That takes a lot more effort/energy. You can't seriously compare the two.

Male and female trauma are both valid.

But it does seem pointless arguing with someone who thinks the feelings of an unrepentant rapist are too.

Have a great day.

The thing is I'm way pass that stage that you pointed out and going somewhere better, while you seemed to stucked all along. Move on.

Not sure if you just admitted to raping someone but, if so, I can see why you're so defensive now. I hope you're not treating your victim in the same way.

Also not sure why you think I'm stuck anywhere. You're the one with a problem who commented on MY post in support of a rapist character. If anyone needs to move on, it's you.

You sounds smart but have anyone told you your EQ is low? You just run around in circle, addressing the problem then cry about it doesn't solve anything. And then when someone offering an solution you sit there in your high chair and judge them, while couldn't come up with anything on your own.
Im not saying this ending is best. But the way you just dismissing anything from the ml's side just sound so stupid to me.

You started off your reply saying I sound smart and then ended saying I sound stupid. It doesn't look like I'm the one lacking any kind of intelligence here, emotional or otherwise.

And where in my post did I ask for a solution? This is a finished story. Sharing my opinion about it doesn't mean I'm looking for answers. I'm just sharing my thoughts. It's not my fault you can't read or handle people rejecting your opinion when they didn't even ask for it in the first place.

Just like the ML, it seems like you also can't take no for an answer without crying about it and making the whole thing about your hurt feelings.

I can't help but notice you ignored the part about you raping someone. Are you actually a rapist? Because if you are, that fact that we're even having this conversation makes a lot more sense. Are you trying to feel better about yourself by reading manga that romanticises rape?
