My piping hot take is that people who actually want to analyze the characters should talk about the cursed (and now deleted) Dog Extras. Obviously people are not gonna feel comfortable with bestiality, but if you’re gonna dive into the weeds of Jw and Jy’s morality, then you need to acknowledge the authorial intent behind the character writing. And part of that intent involved using animal rape to show their depravity. “But that’s just the author’s kink and should just be ignored since it’s not canon anymore” i disagree with this take because for 1, this whole story is like a summation of the author’s kinks. Such as the top who was smaller and more submissive as a child growing up to be big and mean. Such as describing the state of the rape victim’s anus in excruciating detail. YES, the story is psychological and has bits and pieces that can be compelling, but that doesn’t free it from its kink work status. It’s less of a psychological story with kink elements and more kink story with psychological elements. And 2. The author retconned the story shortly before the manhwa release. Revenge was published in 2021. Meaning homegirl had 3 years to sit and stew with the animal rape chapters in their story, but only retconned them when the story was actually about to be mainstream. That’s not a sign of them changing their mind on the depraved characterization of Jw and Jy imo. That’s just cleaning the story up for the fujos who r like “I can excuse rape but I draw the line at animal abuse”. The Bad Life manhwa did the same thing. Ofc the bestiality chapters are gross and distressing, but they’re also a stark rebuttal to people who try to assign moral superiority to the characters. They both chose to abuse that animal.
