'justifying abuse towards women and men who let's be real are often replacement women characters?' could not have said that better. Truth is, most people dont care about it being a gay webtoon and exploring issues in the lgbtq+ community. Most consumers are straight girls who like the idea of two good looking guys getting together.
whoops forgot to @ u when i wrote my response!

PERIOOODTTTTTT omg you have BIG brain energy
COULDNT have said it any better queen!!!!!!
the painter of the night fanbase is so scary holy shit you cannot go in there alone with your own opinion that goes against the mc :/// the romantisation on abusive semes is so bizarre
Chanwoo being supposedly 'selfish' does not excuse MD's actions. Like ok, lets say Chanwoo was 'selfish' for wanting to maintain a relationship partner and the BDSM relationship with MD. Yeah, they can be hurtful, since MD has feelings for Chanwoo. But logically, does that warrant manipulation and borderline abuse? No. Two wrongs don't make a right. Yes, Chanwoo could have made better choices but the thing IS, he has been in abusive relationships in the past so there are clear issues with boundaries. MD is older than Chanwoo, he's also more aware of boundaries (having been doing all this for so long). MD is able to be more mature, yet he decides to be petty and corner Chanwoo, fully knowing it is difficult for Chanwoo to say 'no'. This is why it's problematic, and it's not about the slap, the slap just escalates this situation further. So, fuck MD.
