Stockholm syndrome... And stockholm syndrome again
I think reducing everything to Stockholm syndrome overlooks the history they shared before the abuse. Their relationship is MUCH more complicated than that.
It doesn't reduce anything people with history can still experience stockholm syndrome, this IS a case of stockholm syndrome because there was physical abuse and kidnapping
i second this, seo is so much stronger mentally and knows what changeon does is wrong and has even tried helping him correct his behaviour to where changeon does. their relationship is so complicated and theyve shared so many moments together even from childhood and we dont even know how their full time together was spent properly as we only get bits and bobs. it goes beyond the label of ‘stockholm syndrome’, it could be something entirely different believe me its something but its not that
I'm NOT saying people with an existing history CANT develop a trauma bond or even experience what people commonly call Stockholm syndrome. I'm saying that the abuse and kidnapping ALONE DONT prove that's what's happening here. You're taking the circumstances of their relationship and using them to explain ALL of Sam's feelings, while overlooking the fact that his love for Geon existed long before any of this happened.
Sam was abused, manipulated and deprived of his freedom But his feelings arent JUST a psychological survival response. He have trauma, emotional dependence AND genuine love all at once. That's why I think labeling the entire relationship as Stockholm syndrome is a bit of an oversimplification.
Exactly! And look at how Sam reacted after finding out what Geon did to his family and Juhye. He was devastated and angry. He even said everything between them was broken. He knows Geon hurt him, and he doesn't just brush it off. Yet he still has feelings for him. I think that alone shows how much more complicated their relationship is than just Stockholm syndrome.
Me when I just want to read a cute beta x alpha but it's just rape, manipulation and coercion by TWO MEN, fuck this dude, let's bail
WHAT NO, NOOOOOO, tbh I have read the first thirty chapters, shit happened and I never came back, I'd occasionally read the most recent chapter and I managed to read the second last chapter apparently but C'MON MAN, THIS MANWHA IS SUPPOSED TO LAST FOREVER
PLEASE DON'T BE COERCIVE PLEASE DON'T BE COERCIVE PLEASE DON'T BE COERCIVE
Guys please I just finished chapter two what the fuck is going on, GENUINELY SOMEONE ANSWER ME, The main character's boyfriend(?) is named Ray but there's a panel in the second chapter where he's a child in Ray's lap, was he groomed or something? They go on dates and shit, then he goes and gets on top of that guy with the white hair, please someone explain for me, I love this author but I'm not comfortable reading it until I know what's going on
Please, I'll love you forever
Not sure what you want to know, but Ban is in love with Ray, who is 15 years older than him. Ray knows him since he was a kid, yes, and they are also in a sexual relationship. However, the main couple are Ban and the MC, so at some point they are going to get together.
WHAT THE FUCK, IM SO CONFUSED WHAT HAPPENS TO RAY, WHY DID RAY RAISE HIS OWN BOYFRIEND WHO HE HAS SEX WITH, AUTHOR WHAT ARE YOU ON
Chiro, please, am I crazy for thinking that is fucking deplorable????
The age gap is fine if it's legal ofc but if you've raised the give from like (seemingly 6) were you just randomly attracted as soon as he turned 18? That's impossible
He is a pedo and he groomed ban
WHAT
IM NOT SURPRISED, THATS OBVIOUSLY THE CASE BUT WAS IT CONFIRMED IN THE STORY?
Yes
We will get more info about him in season 2, so there might be a twist about it, but as of now, he groomed and had sex with someone he raised.
Um please lmk is it like justified in the story? Is ray seen as a bad person in the story for this?
Imo ray seems like a robot, if he's some kind of android it'd explain everything
This is like having a nightmare whilst high, WHAT is happening, guwon obviously isn't normal based on his behavior, he's obviously some kind of thing that comes back to life by the looks of it, explaining his childlike self and lack of empathy and stuff, I was still so SHOCKED to see him casually just decapitated
I love this guy's character design, he looks so sick but why the fuck are they making him a rapist? I already knew they were going to have some sort of rapey dynamic because the dude was a 'crybaby', I already know where this is going but I still just hope it doesn't happen, I thought this manwha was so fucking cool at first but it's just an author projecting their sick fantasies atp
