Yeah and even if Nanjo ends up liking Mok and doesn't feel traumatized by what happened that doesn't excuse what Mok does since he couldn't have known how it'll affect Nanjo since he can't see the future. You can't use information that the character doesn't have access to as a way to defend their actions. If Mok did these exact same things to someone who becomes traumatized there wouldn't be so many people who defend him.
This!! Nanjo isn't traumatized only because that's inconvient for the romance the author wants to create. That's fine, but I'm just concerned about how fast Yaoi readers start rationalising SA and rape I hope they don't hold the same views about irl issues.
Yeah Ik we all want them tgth but let's not diminish the fact that what Nanjo under went was basically sexual assault. Sex by coercion is sexual assault and no, Nanjo didn't secretly want to be with Mok, he beat him black and blue "but Nanjo kissed him back, asked about his tattoos, couldn't get it up without him blah blah blah" you know what Nanjo DIDN'T do? Explicitly state his consent and like towards Mok. Irl this whole situation is crazy even if the author is taking a realistic approach to mental health, no one in their right minds will support someone like Mok-- Ofc he's of poor mental health, ofc that doesn't excuse his actions. But this is fiction, so curious to see where it goesa
