BL Compilations

She said no multiples times and she tried to push him off her, that's rape. Consent can be revoked at any point. I'm not saying Alex should go to jail for years or be on the sex offender list for his entire life but he raped her and she's dealt with that trauma for 10 years.

I think they tried to do too much and as a result botched a whole bunch of things that just reinforce stereotypes/misconceptions. I also really liked it at the beginning but was super disappointed with episode 6 and other aspects as the series has continued.

I will be happy to delete my comment and edit my review if they manage to not do what they hinted at in the preview for next week/handle this issue way better than they have up to this point

Hold on. So in the next episode Alex is going to try to kiss Jean, the woman he raped, so that he can orgasm again?!? I think I just threw up a bit in my mouth.

I don't have an issue with watching fictional characters/teenagers having sex but I want the actors to be at least 18 as outlined above. What made me more uncomfortable with the BDSM stuff is how they are ignoring fundamental parts of BDSM such as consensual (i.e. not blackmailing/manipulating someone into it) and also those scenes were super choppy.

sorry that was a typo, I thought that they had just gotten together and so touching someone when they are sleeping could be non/dub con. But yes, I agree that when people are in a longer term relationship you don't need to ask every single time.

Very welcome, it has almost gone into the 'so bad it's entertaining' category but not quite. I've decided to finish it because I'm halfway thru and then can write a final review.

Yeah, I don't mind if they are teen actors playing teenagers with tame stuff. I think that NSFW brings another layer and I want actors to be 18.

I also noticed the huge similarity with My Love Mix Up, I'm okay with it though because there are so many plots that there are bound to be similarities (if it was an eraser though I think that would cross a line for me).

I disliked the shaking camera, at first I had no idea why they were doing that. It will definitely go on the section of things that I didn't like. And the fact that Shokun has been kind of manipulated into that situation, I really wanted it to be consensual.

I'm actually shipping King and Shokun lol.

thanks for the info, I'll update my review

Ah okay I missed that, but wouldn't people see something that huge in the sky? I don't think governments could keep this a secret even hobbyists could see something large moving through the sky with a home telescope. I know it's fiction but I've seen several asteroid/moon colliding with earth doomsday BLs and wish they'd go with something that could actually happen like deadly virus, large natural disaster or nuclear fallout. If they do the rest of the story well, then I'll definitely increase my rating.

Yes, I like that it is showing that too.

Yes, I agree with you that it wasn't believable or good writing. For Never Let Me Go is one of them how a fisherman fights and shoots really well, like everyone just accepts that as fact?!?

I totally understand anyone who drops this series.

I was thinking more about it and they messed up by trying to do two different things in this episode/series. One was how women are shamed for their sex lives but men are applauded. Two was Alex raping Jean. They should have just focused on issue 1. If they wanted to go with 2 then Alex and Jean should not be endgame because that pairing is not what I want. I agree an apology is not enough - he at the minimum should have had to take classes, do community service and give financial restitution to Jean.

I was already not happy how Army has ignored Alex's boundaries multiple times with kissing him and the stuff with Joe makes me angry as well. I agree they are reinforcing stereotypical behavior. This series is getting some stuff right about social issues and they are getting some stuff really wrong.

You can get blackout drunk where you forget all or parts of what happened. However, I'm not sure if someone who is at that level of drunk could have sex with someone against their will (but it has perhaps happened, I haven't been in that situation). I have gotten pretty drunk before and I did remember the next day generally what happened.

I do think that this was bad writing and I also hated his free pass in the morning. They really wrecked Alex's character for me (also him just ditching is friend bleh). It's also odd that the school was shown to have comprehensive sex ed including consent discussions and then Alex goes on to rape Jean.

Yes to what you said. Regarding intent - Jean still suffered major negative consequences due to Alex's actions, yet Alex had zero consequences for 10 years and in the present his only negative consequence is feeling bad about it. I'm not saying Alex should go to jail for his whole life or be on the sex offender registry forever but the lack of consequences then and in the present is gross.

yeah those original fairytales were frightening

I'm 99% sure they are going to get away with an "I'm sorry" and I'm going to be sooooo mad.

I'm debating dropping it, I do want to write a thorough review so I think I'll watch the 2nd half of the series. Yeah even if he goes back in time and changes it, the Alex/Jean endgame would leave a bad taste in my mouth.

I highly recommend this short video that talks about tea as a metaphor for consent (and read the comments as well) https://youtu.be/oQbei5JGiT8
