nice, I think I'm going to buy it and read it soon!

Glad you find them helpful :)

I honestly don't have answers to your questions, it's not my style of humor but I can deal with it to a certain degree

It's been awhile but I think they are either together or it's an open ending where you can guess they will get together in the future

I'll go read thru the comments :)

I agree that not everyone is fully aware of their sexual orientation from a young age, but I've seen so much in fiction with one (or both) guys clearly stating that they are not attracted to guys at all in the first episode and then a few weeks later the love of their life is a guy. I haven't read the manhwa to see how this will play out in the series. I think a good representation of thinking differently about ones sexual orientation would be Mark in Love Is Science who starts the series as homophobic.

so it's not getting better, I feel like I'm just getting more and more confused with every episode that I watch lol, I don't understand who characters are/their relationships with one another, why/where people are going etc.

I cackled at least once per episode of UN. Have you started it yet, have you seen the random running faucets in ep 1, it just gets worse/better and worse/better

you should definitely watch UN, watch it on double speed, think of it as a soap opera and laugh at the total ridiculousness of it all

content warnings: stalking, non con video recording, blackmail/threatened public outing, attempted/assisted suicide, suicidal thoughts, discussion of past: suicide, bullying/physical assault, parental abuse, homophobia

Yeah, I personally really hate these situations where the guys are drunk and it's their first time having sex. I saw a comment that said Uea drank to lower his inhibitions but I don't agree. He drank because he was really stressed out, not that he wanted to have sex with King.

- can you please let me know which episode/timing is for Captain is in jail, I must have missed it and I'll happily add an update, update I found it it's 1 line "they arrested him" in ep 8 part 2 which I missed
- Alex 100% knew what he did to her and he went along with the plan to retraumatize her, she had asked him many times to not contact her and he repeatedly violated her boundaries
- I will update about the endometriosis, I did not connect the dots that it was the result from a poorly done abortion, does the show ever say that explicitly?

I didn't want perfect people but this show purposefully set out to tackle tricky topics so I'm holding them to a higher standard. They didn't have a single woman out of 2 directors and 3 writers and I think it showed because they botched several plots related to women. One large way I can tell they botched the writing/plot is that not everyone can agree that Alex raped Jean which he 100% did. Another example would be with that stupid firetruck scene. If my best friend said she didn't want contact with a common guy friend but didn't want to talk about it, then I'd trust her that something really bad happened between them and I wouldn't pressure her to talk to him because she's "hurting his feelings."

content warnings: murder, attempted murder, violence, non con touching/kiss, kidnapping

I marked this as dub con, it's borderline consensual vs non consensual for me. King seemed to be very sober the entire time whereas Uea appeared to be extremely drunk beforehand but then when he talks to King on the bed he doesn't seem very drunk at all. However then the next morning he doesn't remember right away (to indicate that he was very drunk) but does remember what happened (and regrets it). I don't get the sense that Uea feels taken advantage of by King, more that he wished he hadn't had sex with King.

I believe it’s Alex’s fault, he continued to have sex with Jean after she said stop/tried to push him off her. The fact that he didn’t hear her maybe mitigates his fault but the effect is exactly the same to Jean, it doesn’t matter that he didn’t do it on purpose. The writers really messed this whole plot line up and I wish they would have stuck with the picture situation (I wish that they had had consensual sex but someone took pictures of them and posted them around the school, Alex is praised and Jean is shamed).

Thank you for your response, I can tell you put serious effort and thought into it.

Rape is defined as “The penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.” https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/blog/updated-definition-rape So no they aren’t both victims here, Jean is the victim. She said stop and Alex didn’t stop.

I agree that he was extremely wasted, yet he was still able to have sex. I’ve been very drunk and would have noticed/heard if someone said stop/tried to push me off during sex but I suppose this situation could happen that someone would be so drugged/drunk/out of it that they don’t realize they are having sex. But that doesn’t make the effect on the other person different, that other person was raped and has to live with that trauma for the rest of their life.

I just came up with the term “unintentional rape” to explain that I don’t think Alex’s intention was to hurt Jean. But our intentions don’t change the effects of our actions. Someone can be well meaning and hurt another human. The least we can do is apologize, make amends and respect their boundaries (thus far Alex has done 1 of those).

I 100% agree that men can be victims as well. And even though the definition of rape I found doesn’t fit this, if it had been the reverse and Jean was on top of Alex I would have said the same thing.

I think the writers really messed up this whole plot line. They are trying to make the rape seem not so bad (Alex was very drunk, they both initially were into it, she might still love him) but then they show how badly it hurt Jean (crying afterwards, 10 years later and she didn’t want to see/talk with him, deeply traumatized/has PTSD).

I hope that the preview is totally wrong but even Alex entertaining the idea of him needing to kiss Jean to get his orgasm back is abhorrent to me. He should have respected her boundary and listened to her initially when she said she didn’t want to ever talk/see him again.

Please go a re-watch episode 6 https://youtu.be/kS5JospNb60?t=430. Maybe it helps to think of this as unintentional rape vs intentional rape but the result was the same, rape. Jean has been traumatized and even 10 years later it appears that she has PTSD. I would label this the same way regardless of gender or sexual orientation. So if Jean was riding Alex and he said stop and she continued then I'd label it the same way. Consent can be revoked at any point for any reason. A victim being drunk doesn't mean that they deserved it or it was their fault, that's victim blaming and I don't subscribe to that. I think the writers really messed this whole plot line up as evidenced by our very conversation.
