no shit it's weird, but that's like saying we shouldn't like the addams family bc of child endangerment. we all know that shit will never fly in real life and anyone with 2 braincells to rub together should call the cops the moment they can, but we're looking at a fantasy freak4freak situation that's not meant to be taken seriously. if the author wants to write a healthy relationship, then we can examine where they fail at that by looking at red flags, signs of abuse, etc in the characters. but the author wants to write brainless stupid crack, so we will treat it like brainless stupid crack. this is where media analysis comes to play and you cannot treat every work the same way and expect the plot/relationship dynamic to be executed in the same fashion.
Nah the bottom is an insufferable cunt. Idc about his insecurities and issues, dude has more than enough possibilities to better himself and he gets reassurance from his beautiful partner so DO BETTER AND STOP HITTING AND PUNCHING THIS BEAUTIFUL MAN. The top is waaaay to fucking good for the bottom imo. I guess the author wanted to show what it's like when a messy, insecure person gets with a healthy, golden retriever type, but it's so sad to see the top be happy with just crumbs from his piece of shit boyfriend... Verbal abuse, physical abuse, and it's not cute just cause a big, buff dude endures it or laughs it off...
