Finally someone who has a brain
I'm not gonna lie,I feel sick when I see the comments because the characters may be fictional but the people who comment are real people with the view that "victims are stupid"
That's a horrible fucking viewpoint, victim blaming is just no.
Exactly. People like them are the reasons why REAL people in these situations aren’t treated seriously and why suicide the option they turn to. It shouldn’t come to that.
I understand where everyone is coming from calling MC dumb but please understand that he’s literally been manipulated into it. He’s in a constant state of unease and stress and doesn’t have the time to actually think it through rationally. Not to mention that he grew up in an abusive environment that taught him it’s better to suck it up and be quiet than speak up. His only pillars of hope he had all suddenly turned on him and the places he would usually go to get some sort of consolation has been destroyed. He has no where to go or to rely on. Plus, it’s not like he’s NOT trying to get out of this situation either. He’s weighing all his options and money is obviously a HUGE constant. People can’t just get up and leave just like that.
Idk if you’ve ever been in a situation anywhere close to what he is but I have (to a small extent in comparison) and the way your mind works in these types of situations are completely different. You’re stuck, you can’t move, you feel like you’re frozen and the only way to get out of that state is to silently agree. It’s fucking terrifying. I consider myself VERY confident and outspoken but in this situation I was frozen. I can’t explain it to the degree I’m trying to stress-it’s just bad and can’t be easily rationalized.
