something about the depiction of polyamorous people in the recent chapters rubs me the wrong way. i’m not polyamorous myself so forgive and correct me if i say anything incorrect.
i’ve seen this mentality from monogamous people of polyamorous people being noncommittal and unfaithful. the pink bunny is a caricature of all the negative stereotypes of polyamory. its purposefully misrepresenting polyamory by making it seem cartoonishly illogical. him not being able to answer basic questions like “what would you do if your partner loved the other person more” feels more like the author’s one sided projection of their prejudices than an actual nuanced perspective of polyamory.
i admit im not well informed about polyamory either but i have no moral objections if all parties are consenting adults. i certainly wouldn’t go as far as to write an entire sub plot painting it as something only unprincipled people would do. its disappointing to see the author didn’t research polyamorous culture before doing just that
