If u like this read it, if u don't like it don't read it. BUT WHY DO U GOTTA ATTACK THE PEOPLE WHO R JUST SAYING THEY DONT LIKE/ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE RAPE AND SAYING THERE IS RAPE??? ARE U SERIOUSLY SAYING THERES NO RAPE?? THERE IS RAPE and it's a fact, not a perspective/POV/opinion. For those who don't exactly understand what rape is-
"Rape is a type of sexual assault involving sexual intercourse or other forms of sexual penetration carried out against a person WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT. The act may be carried out by PHYSICAL FORCE, COERCION, ABUSE OF AUTHORITY, or AGAINST A PERSON INCAPABLE OF GIVING VALID CONSENT, such as one who is unconscious, incapacitated, has an intellectual disability, or is below the legal age of consent." Which is the definition straight out of google.
"The act may be carried out by physical force, coercion, abuse of authority". Please read the manhwa properly, and u will see Joo Jaekyung physically forcing and almost literally drowning mc when he doesn't want to do it. You can even see him coercing mc and him clearly abusing his authority and power.
It's literally happening, in the manhwa that u guys r reading. Yes it's a fucking 2D fiction character and u can keep on reading it whether he's an asshole or a rapist. But pls don't deny the facts. I'm actually suprised to see people- not just uneducated kid's but full grown ass adults defending this man. He's and asshole, a guy who's threatening and forcing himself on a vulnerable guy.
IT'S LITERALLY CANON HE'S AN ASSHOLE. everyone in the manhwa even calls him an asshole. And the rape just makes it worse. Y'know it's funny cuz this reminds me of the Ted Bundy case where people were defending him even though he was a serial killer just cuz he was HOT (In my opinion he didn't look hot though tbh) but this time its a GUY WHO DOESN'T EVEN EXIST IRL AND IS 2D! Smh.
I know those people defending him are gonna reply to this but I'm not replying back to them. Cuz I'm lazy and once I've got this out I'm not gonna waste more time fighting with delusional people who are defending rape and denying the facts. So good luck trynna get my attention by replying and defending him again, better yet to just not reply no? To anyone who's gonna say anything about there not being rape in this manhwa be warned u will be ignored, at least by me. I just wanted to comment about this and clear my mind or else my wall would be the one hearing me say all this instead lol.
Edit: So I wanna clarify something's since it seems I was wrong on one part, It's about people attacking others who say this is rape and white washing ml. It seems no, they're not attacking but the one being cyber bullied so they're just trynna defend themselves, and no they aren't white washing and definitely not defending Jaekyung. They say this is SA and abuse but not rape. There does seem to be ppl white washing Jaekyung but not these people on mangago.
Rape and SA are mostly under the same category and are considered the same meaning, but THERE ARE times when SA and rape are different. I MYSELF don't think what's happening in this manhwa is one of them but THEY think it is. Rape, SA and abuse are all complicated and heavy topics. Anyways these ppl aren't saying Jaekyung is a better person by saying there's no rape, They actually hate the ml and consider him an A-hole like I did lol. The SA that's different from rape and abuse that they say are happening, aren't thing's to be taken lightly either. They're all disgusting, horrible things that shouldn't be done to others or have something like that done to u. I just wanted to clarify this so other ppl won't misunderstand.
And the guys cyber bullying them pls stop. Even if what they think is different harrasing ppl isn't right either.
My parents fight ALL THE TIME for the stupidest reasons like who turned the AC off or whatever, and the next second they're all friendly again (by that I mean my mom teases my dad and he ignores her, which is them getting along lol). My dad scolds her whenever she gets sick but still takes care of her while doing so. I'm not on good terms with my dad but their relationship made me feel single and even cracks me up sometimes. Being their child and all, I'm like a third wheel to all that shit and I'm used to it to the point of nonchalantly getting food from the fridge when they fight.
So yea I feel like these 2 were my definition of a relationship when I was a kid lol.
This explains why Mari is so hung up about masculinity, guess it was a coping mechanism for his trauma from being sexually harassed when he was young. Dude didn't even know he was being assaulted since he was a friggin kid...I feel so bad for Mari. I'm glad Mari beat him up but that's still not enough, I need to see him behind bars!
