like trust me i hate rape and noncon in my bl as much as yall do but just because the sex is a little angsty and not very healthy that doesn’t mean it’s rape. totally fair to be uncomfy by it but let’s not lie and call it something it’s not.
I’d say more than dubcon it’s more coercive(or was ot coersive?), which means it’s not 100% consensual but it isn’t really assault either. It was obvious that this would happen, I’m pretty happy about the amount of angst it has right now. I guess it’s easy to forget season 1 since it took so long for season 2 to come out, so people probably rememeber this as the cute manhwa with greenflag relationship.
i can agree with that which is why i said it’s more dubcon than SA or noncon, but i’d still also say dohu 100% knew what he was doing and what he was getting himself into. doesn’t make it any better per se, but he’s smart(sometimes?) and knows what juheon is like.
Omg thank you! I was reading some of the replies and thinking “am I missing something” but you worded it so nicely!
Yeah, I agree. Personally, I don’t really see it as rape or dubcon because both of them are hurting each other and being equally aggressive. If I’m not mistaken, rape usually involves a victim and a perpetrator, whereas this feels more like two damaged people lashing out at each other rather than one-sided victimization
i can agree with that, that’s how i see it. two damaged people hurting each other.
Literally I’m just like huh some of y’all should just stick to green flag books if ur not ready for complex stories like people’s reading comprehension skills is something else
i’m so confused as to why people weren’t expecting angst when the entire plot in season 1 centered around the mc doing something behind the ml’s back that would make anyone uncomfortable and upset, especially someone like juheon. just because a story changes pace and themes develop doesn’t mean the story “got worse” or whatever. same type of people who got mad at season 2 of Midnight Men just cause the plot developed lmao. this relationship was always going to turn out to have some angst and hurdles and if u didn’t see that from season 1 idk what to tell u
also this isn’t SA/noncon like i see some of yall saying. it was rough and albeit a little forceful, dubcon at most, but even then they both know what they’re doing and this chapter clearly shows that dohu still has power and a level of control. they’re both stupid, stubborn, and incredibly flawed. neither juheon or dohu were ever the green flags yall seem to think they were. they’re yellow flags at least.
