Please point out where anyone in this thread ROMANTICIZED sexual assault. Thanks, we'll wait.

I repeat: "Last we saw then, Fuji was nuzzling Sei's neck while Sei lay there passively and not in the least bit scared." It is deeply weird that you automatically interpret, and that apparently the writers of this show intended us to interpret, gentle neck nuzzling of a passive, supine, sober, coherent person as sexual assault. But then, you do sound like a weird person. There was NOTHING "explicit" about that scene. Like "sexual assault," you throw around words as if they have only the meaning you ascribe to them.

Finally...when are you going to admit you are totally getting off on your melodramatic outrage here. In leaving all these comments, have you managed to achieve climax?

And again, why are you still watching this deeply offensive show?

More lame deflection.

"troll account..." lol
I'm fairly certain you're using a dumb ass account. Your line of thinking is still giving the mentality of a dumb ass and I like that for you.

One question: Why do you not spell out the word "SEX?"

Exactly. I hate when an otherwise well-done show falls back on cliche shorthand like hickeys and poorly-filmed bruised wrists to automatically read "RAPE!"

Stupid comments deserve stupid replies.

Sei did NOT "literally" tell Fuji any such thing...are you deaf and/or blind to dialogue and subtitles. What he DID say was extremely vague and noncommital. I want you to tell me what was shown and heard that make it CLEAR there was sex, let alone assault. Not what you imagined in your head; what was there on the screen. It's weird that you see no difference between a conscious person fully in control of their faculties, and an unconscious person. Please explain how they are the same thing.

The rest of your comment is so stupid and tired, I won't address it.

Clearly, you're a fanatic and an idiot.

Please detail for us in what way the events and dialogue in this episode "romanticized" sexual assault...thanks, we'll wait. I guess I missed the scene after the alleged assault wherein Sei and Fuji lay in bed smoking and nuzzliing, and then flowers arrived which Sei had bought for Fuji thanking him for the alleged assault.

Please detail for us what you saw that made it clear there was assault or even sex? Last we saw then, Fuji was nuzzling Sei's neck while Sei lay there passively and not in the least bit scared. If that was a scene of assault, it is one of the most poorly written, directed, and acted ones I have seen. Sei didn't seem scared, he seemed annoyed.

Admit it, you're totally getting off on the alleged rape, and even more so on playing the self-righteous know-it-all in comments.

Oh, and why are you still watching this deeply offensive show?

The fact that unthinking morons like you exist is of genuine alarm. Sei was in danger of harm or death only in your mind and that of the bad writers/ director of this show. Last we saw of them, Fuji was nibbling gently on Sei's neck as Sei lay there passively, like a dish rag.

People like you who make everything into sexual assault are an insult to those who are genuinely sexually assaulted.

Precisely. Frustrating and difficult-to-understand characters are fascinating to behold. But a loud minority on MDL want all characters to behave with one hundred percent perfection at all times. Snooooooooze...........

Thanks for your perspective, Jenny. However, and I know this is partly a BL thing, wherein clues like the wrists are massively simplified. And how a neck hickey, which I got in jr. high, became rock-solid evidence or rape is beyond me.

Why do you keep watching?

Exactly. This series is not providing a LOT of needed background information.

They do that so people like you will keep watching.

So why do you keep watching?

Can you grow up and stop pretending people don't become the way they are for no reason at all? EXPLAINING what is behind a behavior and what events/elements in a person's background led them to be capable of said behavior is not the same thing as EXCUSING the behavior. Can you grasp that?

This does not surprise me. One of my few complaints about this series is that there is a great deal of inexplicable behavior. Why adapt a novel unless you're going to flesh things out more than what we're getting here in seven episodes?

And then how does an asexual person assault and supposedly rape someone? You have to have a bone to penetrate a person, a bone is a sexual thing. I suppose you younger ones have been taught otherwise though.

Who here has said Fuji is NOT abusive and controlling?

This is partly BS. Assault, which I'm not sure this was, is about control AND sex. To rape someone, a man has to get a boner, and a boner is what emerges as part of SEX.

It was not a convincing depiction of sexual assault. I'm still not sure they actually had sex, given where the scene ended. It's hilarious that in BL Land, a hickey on the neck = rape. lol

Please delete your bossy-ass comment. It's pretty stupid.
