can u explain your reason for benefit of the doubt? imo it’s a given when someone has changed the way they act, but then a circumstance shifted their behavior
i get this is fictional, but therapy + circumstances don’t absolve someone from their actions. trauma doesn’t excuse it either and it looks like you’re implying no one should want him held accountable or be angry at him because he’s hurt too when it doesn’t work like that... i would understand him if we saw moments of genuine kindness from him but he literally hasn’t done that- even when he was talking to the grandma or paying for dan’s debt it was for the purpose of exploiting dan for sex + he was extremely belittling to dan still
sadly. its so annoying too, just enjoy it but why use literal rape culture excuses to justify shitty actions!! u can still like a fictional character who does bad and horrible shit in yaoi it’s okay lmao, but excusing it makes them look brain dead by all the loops they’re going through to make it seem okay
also don’t worry about censoring here, u can say rapist. people only say grape because using the real uncensored word gets their post removed on social media with strict guidelines
need to see jae SUFFER it’s not enough!! it’s not fair how much trauma porn dan has gone through they put this man through the ringer
because what do you mean he has no parents, raised by a single guardian, constantly harassed by debt collectors, his crush was mean and constantly sa’d him, was then framed for betrayal, his grandma is dying soon, he developed a drinking problem, and was about to kill himself…
