It's fiction who gives a fuck if he "groomed him" or not if it was really that big of a deal to you, you would've dropped the story, get a job

If you can't separate fiction from reality you have a mental issue. That's how it works. Well adjusted people don't take fictional villains motives and bring them into the real world. Not everyone is mentally ill. You don't have to make a moral issue just because you personally don't like something or aren't comfortable.

Well adjusted people call out and criticize red flags. Your inability to criticize media just means you buy into the narrative that this shit is okay. Reading about these things criticizing them and reading about these things and accepting that these things happening is what differs scholars from indoctrinated citizens. Grow up.

It's the same thing the right wing does. They say "gays in this book will turn kids gay" y'all really don't care unless you get what you want. You can criticize but going out of your way to fill comment sections with endless hate when you can just go read smth else is a choice. You have too much time on your hands. Get employed.

You defending pedophile behavior to this degree is sus af. The only thing that makes this story worthwhile is that MC gets with someone his own age. And I have time on my hands because I'm efficient with my work, and may be in a different timeline than you. Educate yourself about more worldly cultures rather than conceding to capitalism and grooming behavior. Stop traumatizing children and get mental help.

1. Kids are traumatized by grooming adults all the time. That's why its so important to be openly critical of these red flags so that stupid and naive youngins don't think this shit is okay even if it is normal
2. I was talking about your ass grooming children just because you've been groomed before.
3. Until readers are at least 25-30 and your brain is fully developed, you don't understand that this shit is unacceptable and even defend it. Stop normalizing this shit and making it okay. Being a pedophile who takes advantage of people less developed is the worst kind of criminal. Even other criminals locked up don't tolerate it and kill chimos in jail. Hopefully this serves as a warning for others reading the comments too.
Reading red flags and liking and tolerating these red flags are entirely different.

1. Yeah like I said in real life. Real life abusers aren't reading this shit majority of the time and if they aren't they didn't get ideas from this shit. On top of that Suho is at most 5 years older than the Uju, which is the age gap of most kids growing up together and isn't fucking grooming, he didn't raise him, he wasn't parental, they were kids who were friends who were 3-5 years apart roughly.
2. I find fucking touch kids and I never said that I have been groomed, you're assuming a lot.
3. I'm not normalizing irl grooming and your assumption that I am proves you're too far gone.
You don't know how to separate fiction from reality and assume others also cannot. If you don't like the story and you think it's problematic, go read smth else. That's literally all I said. You turned it into "YOU MUST BE A GROOMER FOR DEFENDING GROOMING" which I never did when all I said was to invest your time in things you actually enjoy.
You must be actually 12, no adult would ever have this thought process.

When fiction like this is normalizing a LOT of people's realities, and not seeing it criticized or hearing it be criticized, people think that this shit is okay and they're the ones that are actually in the wrong for not liking it or "appreciating the attention". The more people openly criticize red flags of taking advantage of someone's naivety and kindness (esp the MC in this story was very naive) the more people are able to realize what may be going on in their life is wrong.
An example that I see often is how Twilight normalized for a lot of children that being groomed and taken care of by an adult is okay just because they don't have sexual relations with those kids until they're of age. Its disgusting, and I never realized that shit until I grew up further and realized I would NEVER have sexual relations with someone who was once a child while I was grown. Especially one that I grew up around.
4-5 years is a huge gap in mental, physical, and emotional growth, especially for people under the age of 25-30. Just like how just because someone is of legal age, doesn't mean they can't be taken advantage of by older people.
No middle schoolers should be with a high schooler. And even in high school, nobody with an age gap larger than two years should be together. Even that much is pushing it because of the amount of growth that happens in those years. Developmentally and educationally, 4-5 years is too much of a gap no matter how "mature" and "well-educated" someone thinks they are at that age.
I used to think that if those people could have gone to school together, it was fine, but now that I have been more educated in developmental growth, there's no way I can see having intimate relations with someone even a couple years younger is okay. Being okay with taking advantage of someone who is truly incapable of seeing that they're being taken advantage of is the absolute worst.
People used to be jailed and even killed for stating opinions like this publicly, and still are in some countries. So being able to criticize stories, especially as a warning to others, is a huge privilege that I'm able to take part of. So I'm going to continue educating.
You also don't seem to understand what grooming is or the full extent of it. You don't have to be someone significantly older to be able to mold their opinions. Even just a year older gives you more authority in a lot of cultures. Not saying that you should just give those people the authority, but a lot of people seem entitled to it. You don't have to feed, house, and clothe people like parental authorities do in order to "raise" them. Even educating them in good and bad things as an older person is persuasive. Also, Suho had an authoritative role over our MC. Being paid to tutor and teach someone gives that person more authority because your parents expect you to listen to them. His parents trusted him to help their kid, which usually makes the kid trust that person more (unless they've been around untrustworthy adults). Its literally the same as don't date your boss because they hold financial and social advantage over you. Not all bosses are pieces of shit that use their authority to gain sexual favors in order to promise more power in a company, but its happened so much that now people have to be warned and educated against sexual harassment.
Suho isn't the worst person out there, considering he did let our main character go when MC said he didn't want to date him. He's happy that MC is happy. And that's how older people should be with their younger friends. That's how you actually treat someone like a younger sibling and take care of them. That's why the older people get, the more okay that a wider age gap is. That's why, not knowing someone in their developmental years and having authority during those young years, is more okay, like during college years. Or meeting in high-school during the same year.
College students shouldn't be dating high-schoolers either. The least they can do is wait for the person to get out of high-school so that they don't have to adhere to a high-school schedule. But even that can be seen as "grooming" behavior if they keep in contact and persuade the younger student to not pursue someone their age because they're being waited upon. It's gross af to be taken advantage of like that and to think its okay to take advantage of others like that.
Hell, even the ML's behavior is grooming because our MC is naive and he takes advantage of him because he doesn't know and understand social etiquette. He uses his advantage that he's sexually advanced, knows how to control his pheromones better, and has black mail against the MC to get the MC to sleep with him and do his bidding. He redeems himself because the MC actually likes him and they do end up teaching and taking care of each other. That's the best case scenario that they're able to learn from each other. Still a gray area though.

oops sorry didnt see it, doesnt matter tho its still weird and dumb to do it (not only talking about you i get ur point even thought i dont entirely agree with it i just thought it was weird to assume a person’s age on the internet but well if they did the same thing-)
im a minor i cant get a job already anyway thats such an odd thing to say… and you’re welcome ig??
Insulting a noble is a crime I'm cooked
I mean it's a country where all power belongs to the king, under king comes all the nobles and the higher your rank the higher the price of insulting, so it's basically same as insult the board of directors as an intern in front of them (you are getting thrown out of the company thanks to that)
have you never read a historical manhwa
I have i just wanted to meme. I hate the comments here ong
