i'm so sorry you had to go through that! i myself am a survivor of years of abuse. every case is different, let me stress that even more, every case is different!!, but for me, true love WAS a huge factor in my ongoing process of recovery. if not for my husband, i don't think i would ever be able to be around men. or people. or be functioning at all, really. he's not the ONLY thing, but he's a Very Important thing.
I am glad for you, but I’d hope people won’t take this subject too lightly because from the raws I don’t really see them going more depths into his trauma which is what bothers me. And [SPOILERS!!!!!!]
The dude was about to get raped again but the seme came just in time. Idk about you, but if it were me that would just increase my trauma even more. Why would the mangaka even do that.
Woah, that's horrible. That went like "now that they're in love, let's put the uke in danger again then the seme saves him and wow such beautiful love very pure". Eugh.
I'm sorry for what you've gone through. This is the problem with some mangakas. They use trauma as plot device but never deal with it seriously. -_-
Wait raped?! I thought then le only got molested once as a kid?! Did I miss something? Σ( ￣□￣||)
Omg that's so horrible Im so sorry you had to go through that.
I really hate it when mangakas make manga where people get raped as a kid. I know it happens in real life, but personally I don’t think that topic should be taken lightly and just be cured by “pure love”. It takes much more than that. So much more. Emotional support, psychological strength. I was once almost kidnapped and assaulted by my school janitor as a kid bcs I trusted him and he was so nice to me. up until today I still can’t bring myself to trust anyone or be alone. I hate dark places and I stick in a group of friends, only as a protection. I don’t interact much or get into relationships with people. Even if I like someone I can’t overcome my trauma “he might be a bad guy”, “he might do something bad to me”. But what’s sad is I have to act like it’s nothing since I still have to go to school and meet people. I just get so much anxiety that I feel so suffocated everytime. No matter how much people approached me, the painful memories and trauma will always haunt me.
