I’m not gonna lie. The first time I read this manga - I dropped it because their dynamic and how the relationship started off annoyed me so fcking much. The misunderstandings were just so.. but I’m glad I came back cause they’re so damn cute lol. People make finding him annoying but I love the mc and how unapologetically unique he is. Also I’m glad that the manga recognizes the faults that the mc and ml have. It’s nice to see that.
This is how I know I wouldn’t be able to handle someone like her cause I would’ve said yes so quick. The minute I find that someone’s trying to manipulate me by using mental illness, trauma or threats - I lose all my sympathy and compassion. I don’t know how people are able to tolerate this nonsense. Even if someone was telling me that they’d kill themselves if I don’t do something, I’d simply just tell them to go right tf ahead!
No offense to people who like modest clothing but I’m really tired of the “wearing revealing clothes = villainess and wearing modest clothes = female lead” trope. Like damn she has big boobs so she can’t wear certain clothes without being seen in a negative light? And even if she was a “hoe” then so what lol. Also I really don’t like when the ml starts acting like an asshole in the story yet the fl doesn’t retaliate. I understand that she can’t physically beat him up but damn at least say something behind his back (that would satisfy me). Instead her thoughts of him are that he’s hot (I can’t fully blame her on this tho lmao).
Literally like she’s being blamed and seen in a negative light because MEN find her hot?? That’s one reason why she switched her style.. I wish it wasn’t. Like I understand her switching solely because it’s not mc’s style but all these other reasons attached to it makes it kinda icky to me. A bad bitch can’t be a bad bitch in that world huh.
Sexual coercion falls under the umbrella of sexual assault because even if someone says yes, they’re not giving consent freely. It’s a tactic of abusers. Sexual trauma does always involve physical force. Just writing this comment in case anyone doesn’t know this! I mean, even victims themselves sometimes don’t realize it (cause they were pressured or tricked into it).
Mc was not pressured, tricked, threatened, or forced in a nonphysical way. The ML is somewhat decent and knows when to stop. MC is a grown man, he can make decisions for himself, although he’s low-key a pushover and emotional but he still wasn’t coerced. ML is not a bad person. You’re forgetting the MC also lied twice about his experience( I think it’s in chapter 3 or 4).
There is no sexual coercion here but overall you are right.
Mc definitely felt pressured to have sex with ml. Sorry but I’m not gonna argue about this. I’m way too emotional about this topic to have a debate about it. It’s fine if you disagree, I’m not gonna force you to understand my view since it’s just a character in a manga. Though when it comes to real people, I hope people try to be understanding towards them and what THEY’VE felt. It doesn’t matter if someone doesn’t personally think a situation was sexual coercion (consent can be revoked at any time). Even grown ass men and women can be put into a sexual situation they don’t want to be in but feel as if they have to. That’s all I ask so I’m glad we could at least agree a little. I’m off, have a good day.
Ugh I don’t like abo but I’m gonna give this a try..
