Yeah it’s all sa, my point was more the hypocrisy.
Also I don’t think Dane and Grayson should be judged the same. Grayson made a conscious and deliberate decision to force his partners into heat regardless of their consent countless times throughout his life. His plan here was to trap Dane long enough for him to go into heat naturally so he wouldn’t be able to resist his advances due to a compromised mental state. He knew Dane would never sleep with him otherwise.
He got his wish, he just didn’t like that Dane was able to overpower him and take control of the situation. He thought heat would make Dane more pliable and easier to control, but it didn’t go that way.
If Dane had any control over the situation he would have gotten the suppressants he needed and isolated as necessary to make sure nothing like this happened.
This story has a lot of reactive abuse caused by Grayson’s callous and harmful behavior. I’m not saying being a shitty person means you deserve abuse, but pretty much all of the bad things that happen to Grayson are primarily his fault.
If he had, at any point in his life opted to treat people with any degree of respect, courtesy, or human decency, there wouldn’t be a decent sized secret organization dedicated to his downfall. He uses people and then disposes of them once he loses interest, but their reaction to that treatment is somehow treated as separate from his conduct by the narrative.
Dane originally turned down the request to kidnap him because he just didn’t want to go that far, but changed his mind only after Grayson persistently ignored his boundaries and tried to pry into his life. That doesn’t mean he just gets a pass, but he would never have gone that far if Grayson showed a modicum of human decency or if he had any other way to be rid of him (he’s rich and morally bankrupt enough to follow him across the world, can’t be fired, etc…).
He thought if he could teach him a lesson, Grayson would leave him alone. That is Dane’s only goal, to be left alone, which should be easy to attain if not for Grayson’s blatant entitlement and obsessive harassment.
There are several scenes where Dane seemingly warms up to him, but this development gets cancelled out by Grayson’s entitled overreaching, because to him, his wants will always supersede the preference, comfort, and safety of the people around him.
Grayson is a malignant narcissist who constantly mistreats the people around him until they end up exploding in reaction to his mistreatment. I just don’t think it’s fair to judge them on the same moral scale.
Again, this does not excuse sa or mean that he deserves it. Dane is not in his right mind right now, he was cut off from access to medicine and ability to isolate. If he was lucid he would never choose to do something like that, while Grayson would, and has an extensive and unashamed history of it.
Most of the things you said never happen. I don't know where you read or if you've read at all.
Grayson never raped anyone in this novel and the other novels. Pheromone parties are done with both consent. Except the time the twins tried to rape him and he also defended himself against it. Ring a bell? He is consent prone, both giving and receiving. Also, do not justify rape. Dane was aware, made a conscious choice to sexually assault (clear in novel). Grayson was forced into rut so wasn't conscious by the end but said no and fought for it at the start.
"Grayson made a conscious and deliberate decision to force his partners into heat regardless of their consent countless times throughout his life" it was always consensual with his partner, the bad thing he did is when he left them after knowing they aren't his partner. all of the girls in fire department was also okay with it and gave their consent with him, even with his other partners lol. check your novel translation or maybe it's your reading comprehension.
W-wait, wait a minute! What are you doing?"
As he frantically shouted and grabbed his pants, Dane raised his head. At the sight of him glaring with bloodshot eyes while taking rough breaths, Greyson was momentarily startled and flinched. Dane sneered lowly between gasping breaths and said.
"Pretty one, don't be a bother and stay still. It'll be over soon."
"What?"
Before he could understand, Dane strongly pulled on the pajamas that Greyson was clutching. With a ripping sound, the pajamas tore in two, and Greyson's face turned pale.
"Uwaaaaah!"
Greyson screamed in horror.
"What are you, what are you doing!"
Greyson stammered in protest, so flustered he could barely speak. Immediately, Dane covered his mouth with one hand.
"Shut up, my head is ringing."
Dane continued speaking to Greyson, who was rolling his eyes wide open.
"You were singing, saying you wanted to sleep with me. So let's do it. Right now."
He reached down and grabbed Greyson's penis. Then Dane said to the pale-faced Greyson.
"You just need to lie there. Try to get this limp dick of yours up, I'll just use this."
Under the palm covering his mouth, Greyson desperately shouted.
"Virginia! No!"
Dane roughly fondled him below, but his unusually large penis, taking after his father, remained submissively lowered with no response. Dane frowned and glared at Greyson.
"What are you doing, get it up quickly."
He shook the penis in his hand demonstratively, but Greyson stubbornly refused to yield. Instead, he knocked away the hand covering his mouth and urgently escaped from under Dane, shouting.
"This is rape, it's rape!"
Haa, Dane ran his fingers through his hair and sighed with irritation. The pheromones spreading from his entire body became even more intense. For a moment, Greyson flinched and froze.
"Pretty one, don't you think you should have at least one use besides your face?"
He smiled with a twisted mouth, but it didn't look pleasant at all. Rather, at the appearance of him trying to contain his anger, Greyson's heart sank.
"Wait, wai..."
He tried to stop him by extending one hand forward, but Dane violently knocked it away and grabbed Greyson's collar, mercilessly throwing him onto the bed. Just as Greyson, who had tumbled down, was about to get up, Dane pounced on him from behind. Then, surprisingly, he felt an unfamiliar sensation on his buttocks. At that moment, Greyson was horrified.
"Wait, wait a minute! Stop!"
Greyson shouted, shaking his entire body. His whole body turned cold with fear that he might really be violated. This was the most terrifying experience he had ever had. He lost his reason and swung his elbow with all his might. And it hit Dane's temple squarely.
"Damn it...!"
Dane cursed and backed away. Thanks to that, Greyson escaped the moment of crisis. Th-that was close...
"Calm down, let's talk first. You're too excited right now."
Greyson said as he quickly sat up and retreated. But those words were like pouring oil on fire. Dane, who had been holding his forehead with his head down, slowly removed his hand. When he raised his gaze, he already seemed to have no intention of listening to Greyson's words.
...Huh.
Suddenly, an enormous amount of pheromones enveloped his entire body. In an instant, his vision blurred, and vague memories of the past resurfaced. Was he going to faint again like this?
I'm gonna drop it now I'm so tired of ppl justifying the shittiest alphas and even calling omegas r*pists when alpha's the one who did all of this and used "r*pe" card cuz he wanted to have sex being top but now bottom, still forsing omega's heat under freaking ground. I hoped so much that at least here something's gonna be different like alpha really liked the omega (he did all of this to check if he's dominant literally committing a crime and knowing that omega doesn't want to sleep with him) so he would let omega top him BUT NO OFC NOT ITS ONLY GRAPE WHEN ALPHA THINKS SO SO NEVERMIND OMEGA AT ALL sry I'm venting
Grayson’s treatment of past partners, at least from the comic did not seem so clear to me. I’m not saying he never has consensual sex, but there were some pretty significant implications. Even in this chapter there’s a reference to how dominant alphas force their partners into heat, which is tied into Grayson shock at the same happening to him.
Also, the novel is irrelevant here. Comics are adaptations that are meant to exist independently even without the novel. Both are stand alone stories that are not meant to require readers to consume both simultaneously.
In this story (the comic) it’s clear that Grayson enacted a plan to sa Dane. He trapped him so that he would either have no choice but to sleep with Grayson to get him to open the entrance, or go into rut so that he would be inevitably easy to take advantage of. It’s assault either way.
When Dane goes into heat he tries to find medication to stay lucid, but has no access due to his imprisonment. It’s established in this world that people in rut/heat are not in their right mind and generally cannot be considered lucid or conscious enough to consent.
I just don’t understand the cognitive dissonance in the narrative that Grayson understands that heat will bring about an altered mental state that will get Dane to do/allow/ be unable to stop something that would never happen if he was in his right mind, but somehow when that instability hits, Dane is still considered fully responsible even though it was Grayson that forced him into that position.
It went exactly as Grayson wanted, he even got excited knowing that Dane was already past the point of control, behaving in ways he never would otherwise. He played with fire and it burned him, but if Dane had any ability to, he would have put that fire out long before it got to that point.
You mentioned that Grayson fought for it, and that’s true, but so did Dane. He knew he was about to lose his mind and tried to find what he needed to stay lucid, he only failed because Grayson imprisoned him. It’s a fucked up situation, but one entirely of Grayson’s making.
lol this is the first this has happened. you are the one justifying the omega because he is an OMEGA but if this was done by an alpha no matter what the intentions of omega y'all won't excuse this. fcking double standard. good thing y'all are illegal readers so you won't affect the story even if you drop this lol.
Exactly, it’s amazing that people can read about Grayson’s plan to sa Dane through either coercion or waiting until he was out of it from his heat, and blame Dane for his actions after he becomes out of it due to his heat.
He literally narrated the full plan to isolate him in a tiny underground dungeon without access to suppressants until he could be coerced into sex in exchange for escaping or went into heat so he would be easy to control. Neither scenario involved obtaining any genuine consent from Dane, but somehow it’s Dane’s fault?
It’s canon in almost every Omegaverse, but specifically this one that alphas/omegas in heat/rut are not in their right mind. Grayson knows this and attempts to use it to his advantage to sa Dane, except Dane isn’t as easily controlled as he thought. He’s only upset because the roles were reversed.
lol novel is the blueprint. i won't read this bullshit justifying an abuser just because he is an omega. it's clear in the novel and this is fcking fan translated not an official one. DANE KIDNAPPED GRAYSON FIRST but you are talking that it was all grayson's plan. it was admitted by dane himself too and he even said it to his father. fight with dane first and manipulate him that he is an innocent bastard. if you didn't know the dominant omega here are the most powerful one than the dominant alpha. grayson can't induce heat to dane and it shows in the novel too where he was in rut but even if Dane inhale his pheromones he was still in his right mind. erasing the novel just to justify your fck up interpretation lol.
There’s a difference between deliberately planning to imprison someone until they either agree to have sex with you in exchange for escape or lose their minds in heat where you know they won’t/can’t decline, and being imprisoned with no medication or way to isolate until you inevitably go into heat, lose your mind, and do shit you don’t want to do.
Grayson’s entire plan hinges on Dane going into an altered mental state that will make him more physically/sexually compliant with what Grayson wants to do to him, because he knows Dane would never allow it if he was lucid or in any physical state to resist.
If Dane had just gone weak and compliant from his heat, Grayson would have assaulted him as planned and patted himself on the back for a successful operation.
People in this world know what happens when a heat/rut hits them and that they will be extremely vulnerable or dangerous depending on the situation, which is why they take medications and isolate as necessary. I don’t understand how Grayson’s plan goes exactly as he wants except he can’t control Dane and ends up on the receiving end, but it’s still somehow Dane’s fault? I don’t care what happens in the novel because in the comic it is very clear that Dane is not lucid or in his right mind at that moment, which was exactly Grayson’s plan, he just thought he would be able to easily overpower Dane.
This is a manhwa, not novel, you dumb dumb. And i doubt that in your paid novel Dane was the one to lock them both underground to r*pe Grayson :)
Quick sum: Grayson locked them both underground TO SA DANE WHILE KNOWING THAT DANE DOSENT WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH HIM JUST TO CHECK IF HES DOMINANT. THIS IS A DOUMBLE CRIME. HE OLANNED AN IMPRISONING AND SA.
When Dane goes into heat, there're no suppressants and Dane's heat so everything goes by Grayson's r*pe plan, but now he has to bottom, he suddenly calls it r*pe, but everything is suddenly ok when he's on top. Grayson is a fcking grapist, try to read it with your eyes open before justifying a graphst and calling a victim (Dane) the bad guy. Alphas are the only ones with double standards while omgas have no choice
Detailed sum from above

In this omegaverse, dane's genes are stronger than alphas. Can't you see that he is still very conscious of what he's doing? You cannot toss aside a novel detail because that's all where the complete information lies. Not the illustrated manhwa, adapted by other people, not drawn by the author.
Putting fault into a rape victim isn't pretty. He was also the one who got kidnapped by dane. He just turned it to his advantage on the spot. He was trained to escaped in situations like these and experienced them before to people abducting him for his dominant alpha genes. You sounded like it was a well thought plan of grayson and he has information of dane's heat schedule.
The people saying Dane is a rapist, not Grayson are mostly novel readers. In dmyic and the other novels in this entire series, Grayson has never raped anyone. So argue with the wall. Unless you got all your information correct, you have no right to force your incorrect narrative. All these to excuse a rape ew

Interesting how Grayson got so indignant and surprised when Dane took control of the situation. His entire plan was to trap Dane underground until his heat came and he would have no choice but to sleep with him, thus allowing him to verify whether he was a dominant.
His plan works, Dane goes into heat and loses his mind, but Grayson wasn’t ready for it and tries to shut it down when Dane tries to sleep with him. Only Dane is too altered by that time for rational thought, and forces Grayson’s rut.
I just found it interesting that the second Grayson is on the receiving end of the treatment he gave to his previous partners and tried to give to Dane, he’s panicking and trying to regain control.
He suddenly cares a lot about consent (specifically his own), but doesn’t reflect on what that means for all of his past interaction where he was the one acting that way, except for Grayson it was a conscious choice, while for Dane it was a situation beyond his control that Grayson forced him into
Of course, the narrative will protect Grayson’s status as ml over maintaining Dane’s personality or a rational course of relationship for a relationship. I’m just here to watch the trainwreck at this point, but will probably drop soon since it seems the author will pigeonhole Dane into a classic forgiving doormat partner rather than giving Grayson any character development or progressing a realistic relationship
