I haaaaaaaate the word "infantalizing" omg adults are capable of being coerced into doing things they do not feel comfortable doing, its not infantalizing to call out that hes obviously being pressured by the people who are closest to him to forgive her and lowkey manipulated into believing that his feelings are invalid. His entire family has ZERO respect for him but us empathizing with him is "infantalizing"??? omg thats such pro abuse rhetoric.
Preach ! I'm with you Sam
you made a really good point about the manipulation part from his family, and i see where you're coming from now. 'infantalizing' wasn't the right word for me to use here, so I apologize for the poor phrasing. definitely not trying to excuse any abusive behavior, I just phrased my thoughts badly
me personally, i get that everyone’s upset on behalf of hyesung, but I feel like you guys are infantalizing him too much. He has a mind of his own, he’s a mother and he’s matured, and if he wants to meet up and maybe reconcile or hear out his bullshit mom then let him? I mean I don’t agree with what’s currently happening either but people need to learn to be neutral about serious things like this because we all have varying opinions about these types of situations. Hyesung chooses to meet her and maybe talk to her, hell maybe even reconcile with her. We don’t get what he’s thinking any more because the story isn’t from his pov, and yes I’m still upset that Dojin and Byul haven’t properly apologized to Hyesung, but tbh that’s just how forgiving he is. (did we forget the whole beginning-mid plot of s1?) Though I’m sure I may get crucified for this opinion, we still should all just wait and see how the story goes. What can we do? The author already has this storyline set in stone. Let’s try to be more mature about this. (〜￣△￣)〜
