Is this all just a story? Yes. Are people still allowed to feel uncomfortable seeing someone make advances on some who's asleep? Yes. Are people allowed to *enjoy* seeing it because they know the story is fictional? Yes.
Are you ever allowed to do that shit IRL? No.
Let's all just let people feel how they feel about that scene and stop trying to change minds.
Unless you think it's okay to do to your partner IRL. Then you need to rethink things.

I'm not judging anything consensual, if it's been communicated it's fine. Literally the scene was unprompted advances on someone who was sleeping. That's not communication. If you do things without consent IRL, it's wrong, plain and simple. Consent is necessary. But this is a fictional story. My whole point was about how we should stop arguing cuz both sides are valid and you've just wildly misconstrued my point. Congrats.

It seems like this series wants to make itself difficult to follow. Between the different plotlines happening at once, all stretched out thinly, and the myriad of new/ reintroduced old characters - it's nearly impossible to remember it all. Plus, Moko started helpful, then it flipped. If we keep stressing out this kiss plotline/the one with the other girl (I already forget her name) - I'm gonna lose it. I'm seriously gonna go feral.
This series is at its best when Kyoko and Ren are able to bolster each other as people, and as actors. When I saw Kuu brought up, I got hopeful, cuz that was honestly the best arc so far. The Heel Siblings, too. Both instances showing great development of them as individuals, and as a couple.
UNLIKE THIS CURRENT STUFF, WHICH IS JUST CHEAP MISUNDERSTANDINGS AND SHOEHORNED PLOT DEVICES FOR A PLOT THAT'S GOING AT A SNAIL'S PACE.

The seme's comment in chapter 5 made me super uncomfortable and ruined this for me. Like - you can't get it up if it's not for young boys? I'm horrified.

And I quote "I only get erect to little boys. It's not about their age, it's the size of their dick." Not about the age = whatever age is okay. While it can mean "it's okay if they're not kids as long as they have a small dick" it also means "it's fine if they're kids." Do I care that he likes small dick? No. Like go off whatever. It's the line "I only get erect to little boys." That's *disgusting* and pedophilic. Liking small dick is whatever but it's the phrasing and meaning of the way he said it that's just vile.

I am aware of this. And while I don't know Japanese grammar/words to guess the original context, I can use my knowledge of translation (English & Chinese) to go out on a limb and guess that was a phrase that they just had to translate literally. Maybe *hopefully* it has some meaning like an idiom when it's in Japanese. Like the phrase "kid's dick" means small dick but it was translated literally as "kid's dick". I considered all this. I know how translation works. Doesn't change my view that "I only get erect to little boys" is a horrible, horrible statement, and I wanted to express my discomfort because pedophilia is wrong and bad.
Also, saying it's the translators kind of assumes the fault is on them. I'm not pointing any fingers here. I'm just saying the comment felt really pedophilic, and that grossed me the hell out and ruined things.
BO'S BACK!!! HOORAY!!!! Now spill way too much Ren I'm BEGGING you, please
