I know it's kinda victim-blamey but it absolutely was his fault that he gave his keys to a person he didn't trust. I don't blame him for the false confession, if you know anything about the Japanese legal system you know that was probably his best option, but giving him the keys in the first place? That's kinda on him
Ah yes, victims of coercion are to blame because they gave in so they shouldn't be seen as victims. It's not the fault of the person that spent years conditioning them with threats and manipulation.
Grooming is not grooming if the child gave consent at some point right ? I mean it's not like there's a lot of psychological factors involved in making decisions, the more stress and fear the more more logical is your actions am I right ?
It's not like being in a toxic relationship for years was damaging to the victim amIright ? How dare he be traumatized after reaching adulthood and not get his fear and stress in check ? It's not the bully's fault for forcing his hand and lying to him and then framing him when he messed up, it's the victim of years manipulation fault for letting himself get coerced !
Seriously you guys are disgusting.
Dude! Are you seriously blaming the bully for your own cowardice? Even after graduating highschool and college, he couldn't get rid of them. I've seen pushovers before but this guy really takes the cake! You're a f*cking adult! Are they gangster or something? His family is in politics? If not what are you so afraid of?! Is it that hard to say no?
Redo your personality instead of trying to change your highschool experience. Bet he's gonna taken advantage of there too. Maybe not since someone is going to protect him now.
But honestly, you won't go far in life with that attitude. One day that itami guy would kill someone and frame him, and he'd just accept his fate and go to jail without putting up a fight.
