i agree with your questions in the end.
let's assume a peaceful situation... jaekyung is the sweetest guy in the world rn.
dan still needs money tho.
jaekyung asks dan to do something immoral with him.
keep in mind that here, jaekyung simply asked and dan is not under fear or anything, but he still needs money.
do you think dan would agree or not.
rn the only pressure is money that he needs for his granny and loan.
i think if he agrees for money- then the pressure is not exerted from jaekyung's side. so i don't think jaekyung would be in the wrong here because he's not pressuring or bullying dan into agreeing with him. jaekyung will let dan go and will never contact dan again.
if dan doesn't agree then he loses his only hope in the world his grandmother.
Before I say anything more, could you please clarify what you mean when you say you agree with my questions in the end? Did you mean that you agree with my definition of consent and agree that Jaekyung violated that definition/did something nonconsensual? And you agree that an immoral act remains immoral regardless of whether or not money is involved? Or did you mean something else. I just want to be very clear about it because, again, if we have fundamentally different understandings of these things then we won’t really be able to have a productive conversation.
I’ll also ask in regards to this message—do you think it matters how or why someone consents to something, how that consent is obtained? Or is the consent on its face all that matters?
actually i don't get the hate jaekyung gets... I've seen and read my fair share of toxic smut wtv yaoi... but jaekyung looks like green flag in front of them... idk what rape is in your language but for me it's if any one of the party involved is against doing it... that's rape be it marital or non-marital... doc dan has agreed to have sex with jaekyung and jaekyung pays doc dan for it... that's the contract or deal you say... the most important thing is dan agreed and allowed jaekyung to do it and gets paid for it... jaekyung pays dan for what he does and that's not illegal... human decency or wtv... dan is given a choice... to leave or stay... and dan chose to stay for the money or his personal interests... that is not a bother to jaekyung as he pays and gets what he wants.. dan also gives and takes what he wants...
idk where the toxicness is coming from... jaekyung is not decent i admit that but saying he is most toxic and shit is not true
