Reminder that he was in high school when he was tutoring/dating Meguro, and just a few years above her. So everything else aside, calling him a predator/groomer/other buzzwords is factually incorrect.
I think her first lines are a slight mistranslation. As far as I can tell, she says he's not giving them any orders, and other boys would tell the guards to keep their distance and avoid eye contact.
They are not equally valid. When one is the omnipresent default both IRL and in fiction, and other is a tiny special case, the latter needs some real evidence to be considered a possibility.
I can understand those feelings to some extent. But I don't have much patience for these arguments ever since the nonsense with Bridget. Any trace of gender nonconformity makes people jump in shouting "One of us!" and I'm sick and tired of it.
(you're fine though)
