I heard you the first time.

 

[slimenora]

oh i get it now. she's fucking the cat

 

[vixawi1793]

I guess it makes sense that she got attached to her. Animals are simple creatures after all. I'm glad there's a chance at healing at least. They can evade the authorities together.

Ya, it's clumsy. The message is clear, but the execution is... Let's say perfectible or even bad.

Forgiving your aggressor because, maybe, they have experienced violence, have trauma and they are human.
I mean, the people she killed were also human, and maybe they too were abused or beaten by other humans. And I'm pretty sure the father was abusive to his children or (dead) wife, and that's why he bought a slave. And the children copy cat their dad because it's the only thing they know, violence.

I'm not saying they should have been forgiven, but the MC should have stopped after hitting her the first time or before hitting her. Right now it feels like the message is "You should forgive your aggressor because they too are human."... Meh

I think you’re missing the point and over sinplifying it. She was a normal kind child and took care of the cat so the cat knew that she was capable of that and that what she became was a result of her brutal abuse. It’s not up to anyone but the people involved to decide who they want to have patience for and how much patience they want to have. I think a lot of people are starting to engage with thinking about cycles of abuse but fail to really shed their black and white thinking. Without nuance you make oversimplifications like “this just glorifies abuse”. It’s not us, the readers, place to determine if she’s irredeemable or not. And she clearly did begin to change at the end once, for the literally first time in her life, she was extended sympathy. How can we expect people to exhibit good behavior if it’s never taught to them and they don’t see it anywhere? Of course you’d begin to believe the world is a terrible place and you must be terrible too if that’s all you’re ever told.

Plus you’re only viewing it as domestic abuse within a romantic relationship. Remove that lens and consider if it was a guardian of an adopted child that acts out and had behavioral and mental issues due to abuse. Do you write the kid off? Do you intervene? Everyone will choose something different and decide for themselves if it’s right or wrong. If your only metric for bad and good is that she murdered her abusers, you’re also ignoring the time period aspect and being rigid in your morality. Our views on murder and violence have changed drastically from times where people were bought, sold, abused, and even slaughtered as slaves like it was no bid deal. That family was sadistic and treated her in a way that would be too cruel to even treat an insect. I’m not losing sleep over an enslaved girl killing her slave owners to finally be at peace and escape a lifetime of torment.

She was a slave bought as a child and never educated or introduced to society. Why are we judging her based on those standards then? She had no way to explore her emotions but with the people nearby and they convinced her she was uniquely bad, monstrous, and disgusting. When the other girl came she almost killed her but in a split second her humanity made her slap her instead. Even then, it’s clear her thought process at first was to kill her so she could remain at peace and not be abused more. It was a fear response. Then she kept her since she didn’t want to kill her but felt she couldn’t let her go without consequence. Then, like a child, explored morality and self understanding by doing what had been done to her to this third party. That’s exactly what kids and adults do, even when they aren’t abused. But when they are, what they act out is obviously more extreme. She didn’t have options to just “walk away” and integrate into a society where she has no education or skills. She doesn’t know anything outside of this house and family to the point she believed them that she must just be a monster until she killed them. Then she realized they were bad and that now she’s just as bad. (Though I don’t think somebody reacting to their abuse is as bad as their abusers.) She has an undeveloped childlike mind. Most adults operate at an emotionally immature child like manner irl because most people never actually mature or become deeply self aware.

You could try to argue the same about the cat girl. That she is being like a loyal pet that stays and loves its master because it doesn’t know better despite being mistreated. But her words at the end reflect that she understood what she was doing and chose to pay back the woman’s kindness for raising her as a kitten. To me their relationship is like 2 people trying to raise one another in place of a proper parental figure/trying to pay back the kindness given to you. She provided for the cat physically (food) and the cat came back to provide for her emotionally. It doesn’t try to tell the reader others should do this. Idk why people suddenly can’t understand the horror genre. Maybe it’s just the mangadex reader base…
