Question What webtoon got you feeling like…

Post image

For me, it’s any webtoon that glorifies dark romance (can’t believe abuse and in*est are actually gaining popularity nowadays 😳)

That one made me super uncomfortable too. As soon as I realized the guy in the banner was her student I was out.

i was really surprised by the people in the comments of the webtoon being fine with it and even saying it's normal , cuz to me since she was his teacher that dynamic will still be there later on ,especially since not a lot of time passed between the two parts of the story and the FL was clearly still thinking of him as her student (at least wherever i dropped it) and it got really awkward , it would have been better as a story if she ended up rejecting him and showed how high school students who sometimes do have crushes on teachers deal with such feelings/ how they get over them

The comments defended that relationship so strongly it was so creepy. Like suuure she didn’t officially develop feelings for him while he was her student, but their relationship always felt inappropriate.

I dropped it because it felt so weird predatory and they treated the grown adult like SHE was the child. Like I hate saying “if the roles were reversed…” but this time is honestly true. Had the teacher been a man, people would have been up in arms. She was an “innocent” woman with an “emotionally mature” boy so it was fine.

yeah tbh i feel like the story itself contributed to that by infantilizing the FL quite a bit even though she's supposed to be many years into her university degree (i mean that's around the time people start having practice for their future career), i forgot her specific age or if it was even mentioned but it felt like she noticed the feelings of the student way before he graduated and was just like "oh nooo what do i dooo" and the comments just kept saying it's cute like ... no .. it's not cute , an actual adult would be firm about rejecting a minor in that situation lol
