TW: RAPE FOR GOD'S SAKE---

my reply was so short but did you not read the part where i mentioned that i wasn't defending blondie? i get that it's wrong and i just explained why that was their dynamic. never said he deserved it either. idk what's so hard for you to understand what i meant when the manhwa is literally all about trauma and abuse behind the romance façade.

Like yeah it was a good ass political move on our mcs side and like yeah, the ducal family needed that bc they need to be upped down a notch (esp the father lol) and ante has ?had? His moments (idk idr lol) but bro rly worked hard for that like he was bleeding rly bad in some of the fights he had

He had a choice, tho? It’s not like his father would’ve killed him if he didn’t do it. He constantly was given choices and decided to treat his siblings like shit and live under his fathers thumb. He could choose to stand up for himself, which eventually I’m guessing he will which will even more show that he does have it. No one said the choice was easy, but it WAS A CHOICE. There’s plenty of people with obsessive-controlling parents and not all act like that. Is he a victim in this too? Sure. Is he without a fault? Absolutely not. Ante constantly enables and actively supports his fathers behavior. He is guilty, just not to the same degree.

As for puppets, aren’t most of these stories about how children are their parents puppets? Including MC, and they all show that there is a choice and a way out it, it’s just not easy. Also, what would the duke do if all of his children rebelled? He’s gonna kick all out? No successor? And how would that look to the nobility and his precious reputation? Not to mention Ante is also physically stronger than him. As much as he has a reason to be that way, reason is never a justification. They are victims (all siblings), yes, but I hate that whenever someone is in a difficult situation then people completely strap them of any accountability whatsoever. Even when it comes to the most heinous things (talking real like here, not Ante).

jesus christ here comes the birds of the pickme brigade, finally taking the cocks they've shoved down their throat out of their mouth so they can fulfill the one purpose they've believed they were made to serve for their entire life... defending mid ass to downright horrible men, real AND fake, from perceived and/or justified slights
I reread this from the start thinking id enjoy it bc it was rly good at the first read but bro Camilla starting to pmo like at first, she went to the teacher's despite knowing the red flags THEN ACTUALLY drank the drink, not even BOTHERING to pretend LIKE GIRL YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THE 'BEST ACTRESS', COULDN'T YOU DO THE JOB YOU'RE SO PROUD OF AND *ACTED* LIKE YOU DRANK INSTEAD? But that was okay lol i forgave her BECAUSE that butler was with her. THEN THE FAKE SIS GIRL WHAT-- YOU KNEW THE RED FLAGS--- YOU COULD EVEN SEE SHE WAS WITH SOMEONE YET YOU TOLD THEM TO TALK *IN PRIVATE* and the worst thing was-- u were ALONE this time— is your brain developing backwards...? Girl like literally dont pmo. I get tha it was resolved but goddamn this would've been resolved EARLIER had you actuaLly... I DON'T KNOW MAYBE BROUGHT SMN WITH YOU?
