The people keep blaming Riftan saying he wasn’t supporting her enough but Maxi has to ta...

Shhhh....., before people say you are victim blaming, this days people are too sensitive to listen to harsh truth

This comment in itself makes me think you are a person who actually blames victims. No one is saying Maxi is without faults in this relationship, but clearly Riftan has had the upper hand since the start.

I don’t have to fucking defend myself to you or anybody. You can think whatever you want, that’s your choice. And if you ever come across any of my comments where I’m victim-blaming Maxi, let me know, and say ‘hi’ while you’re at it

Yeah I second this no one said maxi doesn’t have faults

Your original comment saying people are sensitive about victim blaming was just not it. Hi

Now I know common sense isn’t actually that common.
If I have to break it down for you, the og comment, was stating and pointing out facts about the situation, how it could have been prevented if Maxi had listened to Riftan and not followed him to war. Is it harsh? Yes. But is it also true? Also yes. It’s just logic.
Most of you are being too sensitive about the situation, forgetting that you can be empathetic toward what happened to Maxi and her baby while also being logical and recognizing how it might have been prevented if she had listened.
It would be victim-blaming if we said things like, "what happened to her was good," or "maybe she learned her lesson," or that losing her child was entirely her fault. That’s victim-blaming. But analyzing the situation critically and discussing what could have been done differently is not the same thing.
This is just common thinking, not every criticism comes from a place of hate. You can criticize a character and still feel bad for them

Nobody is defending maxi in the way you are claiming like they are, yet you want to reduce it down to that.

We all read the story and generally have a better opinion of maxi than we do of riftan, and rightfully so. No one said 'everything is riftan's fault!!', we all just are quicker to point out his faults as they are the bigger factor in all the fallout, but we all acknowledge maxi lack of communication as well.

Stop acting like you're the bigger person in this comment section.

Even worse you trying to defend the original comment when no one was attacking it. Nobody was disagreeing with it. I was just saying your first comment about being overly sensitive about victim blaming was just a weird mindset to have overall. Its not a very progressive mindset, especially when its about a story of an oppressed woman.

The more you speak the more you show how ridiculous you are, even after what I just clearly pointed out all you could see or get was the fact I'm acting like I'm better than everyone, instead you should take your own advice, coz it seems you have been the acting like you know better or know me based on my comments, and for the record I have seen comments who have been clearly hateful towards riftan characters I don't care if you believe it or not, so I have the right to comment how ever I feel as long as I didn't call your name or name bodies, unless you felt called out, that's only you, not my problem

I think you severely misunderstand the weight of your original comment. Victim blaming isnt so blatant and obvious sometimes. You just saying 'Maxi should've just listened' in itself is not in Maxi's interest. The whole point of her not listening is that she's starting to oppose the way she's lived her whole life, where she just had to obey the men who 'owned' her.

No point in arguing with Riftan apologists, unless you want to risk getting a migraine, lol.

God forbid and abuse victim rebels against her domineering husband and starts to develop a will of her own, right?

Even if it was considered victim-blaming, was it said with bad intentions? No. We can go back and forth about what victim-blaming actually means, and everyone will have their own interpretation.
Yes, if Maxi had listened and not gone to war with her husband, she probably would have been safe. But was it her fault she lost the baby? No, because it was an unforeseen situation that led to that outcome. Could it have been prevented? Possibly, yes.
So you have your understanding of what it means, and I have mine, and I know what victim-blaming actually is, so please.
And by the way, no man owns her, if you’re indirectly referring to Riftan, her husband. If you actually read to understand the story, you would see that the main reason he refused to let her go wasn’t just because she was his wife and he felt she needed protection. It was also because she had just started her training. Even though he never wanted her to learn in the first place, he knew she wasn’t as strong as the princess yet, her mana wasn’t fully developed.
He had to fight on the battlefield while also worrying about her safety, which was one of the things he wanted to avoid. So implying that his actions were about suppressing her as a woman or controlling her as his wife doesn’t really hold up. You missed the point there, maybe try coming up with something better

Yes we are riftan apologist, next?

Lol, I'll give you that, at least. You're self aware enough to understand you're a loony, rapist sympathizers.

Maybe you need to reread the story, no matter how much riftan thinks he doesn't own her or controls her, their society already made it clear that she is his 'property' and his actions of telling her to stay at home and just do nothing is a command, even if done with good intentions.

Every reply you've had so far, you've had to give an entire essay just to justify your weak viewpoints. This story is deeper than the value you are taking it at.

It’s funny how everything you accuse me of doing is actually what you’re doing. You're very full of yourself, that’s the first thing I noticed. You seem to think that because others don’t share your views on the story, they must be wrong.
My main issue with you is that you read my comments but don’t seem to understand my points or you intentionally twist them to fit the narrative you already have.
You complain about my comments being too long, which only shows how lazy-minded you are. Of course my comments are going to be long when I’m trying to explain simple logic that you can’t seem to grasp.
So suit yourself, I said what I said, and I stand by my initial comment. I don’t care what a stranger online thinks they know more about what I meant, than I do

@RabbitMage The only raptist minded person I see here is you, who only seems to think only about rape, if that's is the only issue or point you could come up with, I think you should seek help and touch some grass, you really need it and why doing that, heal coz you're full of hate for a fictional character who isn't even real Lol
And thanks for blocking me, you beat me first to it

For someone who doesn't care, you have a lot to say.

And the thing I was accusing you of was downplaying victim blaming, and by your own definition, you are damn well NOT a victim.

Simple logic doesn't need an essay, and atp, I think your overexplaining is actually a means to convince yourself that you are right when in reality, only you and a handful of people are choosing to believe that Riftan is this amazing and wonderful person you've invented in your minds as an excuse to blame Maxi. Its giving misogyny ╮(￣▽￣)╭
