i think it’s ridiculous how much you fetishising bitches will vehemently deny aaron is turning into caesar. literally the only difference between them is that aaron didnt shoot yujin - him kidnapping, confining and raping yujin is exactly what caesar did to leewon. and yes, aaron has always been not right in the head from the beginning so let’s not pretend he was a green flag but what’s happening now is not okay. you can say what you want about it being fiction, but media and art hold so much power and impact and we see this daily. it’s revolting to see bl authors continue to throw in rape, abuse and assault between the two lovers and normalise it. it’s flat out fetishisation esp considering it’s majority of women who are bl authors and cis women who read bl. im aware rape and abuse has been in bls since the dawn of time but it’s 2026 people, theres no reason to keep romanticising it - and before anyone denies it bc plenty of you love to deny and excuse it, a man being raped by another man and then ending up with said man is ROMANTICISATION regardless of what you think. while i dont think flashlight falls under the dark romance category, just speaking in general, a dark romance can be dark without needing rape or assault. there are plenty of other elements that can be incorporated to make it a dark romance. a completely different example is our sunny days showing that theres no need for rape or assault to make a good, successful story. idk what flashlight’s author is smoking but this is disgusting. people have loved this manhwa from the start and it had such great potential, but with every new chapter that comes out it just gets worse and worse and this comment section (DESERVED) is filled with comments hating on the newest chapter and no one is wrong. im sick and tired of this horrible plot device being used and it does nothing. it’s just really disappointing
