u ate with this criticism i completely agree; i was pissed tf off that he just glanced over it like ??
It's just different overseas unlike in NA or Europe. Like Japan and Korean really gloss over shit like SA. My hubby was in Japan when he was in the AF and saw a full grown ass man touching a middle school girl on the train. As my hubby was born and raised in the US, that shit don't fly over in the US. So my hubby said some shit and grabbed the guys hand. The girl was crying really badly and said sorry to my husband. My husband was trying to explain to her that she didn't have to say sorry for doing nothing. He wanted to go with her and the man to the police but she said no cause she didn't want to cause too trouble. It just ended. My husband did walk her home after that to make sure the man didn't follow and it was late at night. My hubby lived near her anyways. My hubby said that it's just different over there. (My hubby had his uniform on and was just getting off work. He can speak decent Japanese now, but it was better then.) This was also like 10 years ago. I hope she grew up okay and learned to stand up for herself.
That is so messed up tho...
I know right! My hubby said that everyone is always worried about what others think 24/7. He said that if someone is in trouble most people will ignore it cause they don't want to be caught up in others business. It's crazy. VERY different from the USA. Not 100% of Europe places, but from my friend she said that in Ireland is kind of the same people in the USA. (Her grandmother lives there.) So I'm just guessing people in Europe are kind of the same as people in the USA.
After knowing he's sob backstory, him SA'ing the MC just made it worse. Broski def got his father's genes (im not sorry for this). He did apologise but still.
And also, i really REALLY hate how the MC just glossed it over like it's not a bad thing at all. All he did was say sorry and he's forgiven just like that? I feel so angry because as a victim (of being SA), i still feel that disgusting crawling feeling on me, where it feels so uncomfortable to be in my own skin. Almost to the point of wanting to puke. And to just easily forgive the person who did something traumatic to you? No way.
I might just drop this. Sorry y'all this is just not for me. I really did like the story at first. But not anymore.
