That accusation of him being racist is a bit of a stretch. Now heartless and a jerk, sure. But as an attitude between friends, this is closer to just casual banter.

Plus keep in mind that all of this is just a singular page. The setup is a busy lunch time, everyone's rushing to get food. These two aren't on the front of the crowd or line and neither of them are pushing too hard. She's trying to push forward though somewhat although not aggressively.

He's just bantering with her and arguably pointing out that she's not trying to voice her desires loud enough. So instead of taking his advice, she's taking it out on him by actively putting him in trouble and as I previously stated, in a real life environment, this is a life ruining event.

Her mild inconvenience for a day does not justify her doing something that could ruin his entire future. It's like if you were trying to argue that a girl is in the right for making false accusation of sexual harassment on a guy just because he called her ugly.

One hurts someone's feeling. The other destroys their entire life.

At best, what you could've argued that he might've deserved was her insulting him back directly to match that level of banter. Or if you want to go the classic anime/manga tsundere route, physical assault on him like elbowing him in the stomach or something. Which is the more typically accepted level of escalation of violence against men.
If he's quick witted enough to insult someone based on their physical attributes, I guess he should've been quick thinking enough to grab the lady moaning loudly behind him. :02:

Besides, you're exaggerating quite a bit, aren't you? To other people it would probably look like he was just watching or listening to something with adult content in it and forgot to turn it off or something, which is pretty understandable. I mean, who here has NEVER watched or listened to any media with adult content in it?

Also, there are invisible people in their world, AND an invisible girl in their class. Anyone who has heard the invisible girl talk would be able to match the voices and know that it was her, so if he was really worried about his future he could just tell on her.

At worst, this is about as silly of a prank as when you pick up the phone and your friend starts moaning in it or something when you switch it to speaker.

Besides, with how scummy this dude acts, I GUARANTEE he has ruined his own reputation way worse than she ever will.

She's not a loli, but she's behaving like a kusogaki. She is begging for correction.

Though that's the light hearted anime hentailand talk here.

Real life, she just risked ruining his life for eternity. Even then, within the campus that they're in, he now has a tarnished reputation that's going to follow him everywhere. She effectively ruined his social life, which will have a long term knock down effect on multiple other aspects, even possibly job opportunities.

Absolutely vile. It's like Menhera Yandere. In fiction you can classify them as cute or gap moe or whatever. But in reality, they're parasitical cancer. Well, I guess that's evidence of the power of 2D > 3D.
I mean, he's kind of been a douchebag to her this entire time, so I don't exactly feel bad for him

I'm doing an edit to clean this up a bit. Primarily because holy crap this is a giant wall of text and I don't want to stink up the place more than needed so lemme just stuff it into a handy dandy spoiler. So if anyone is curious about my reply, feel free to read it. Sorry for the length.

You say you can guarantee that. But that's you making a lot of assumptions here. Primarily that he behaves like this with everyone and not just with her, because typically this sort of barbed jabs at each other is typical of your romcom manga and not an indicator that he somehow magically treats everyone like shite.

Again, the level of back and forth here from him is similar to banter from friends. Hers is far more hostile as retaliation objectively speaking. I even noted that physical assault would have been preferred. Which is still an illegal act of violence, but between this and social harm, at least the physical harm is more temporary. Unless of course she causes a life long paralyzing injury like say accidentally break one of his bones or cause an internal rupture of sort.

You're still attempting to downplay it or downgrade the ramifications here by trying to make it seem as though it's easy to smooth out, or that the embarrassment and ongoing rumor milling is easy to control, especially in a school setting where you have to frequent an area with these people repeatedly, or that creating negative sexual assumptions about someone is trivial.

Now, thankfully this is just a manga story and the focus will be on the shenanigans between these two. But if this was a more typical manga, you would definitely see some schoolgirls making mocking statement about him being a lolicon or a siscon or something like that. Which yes is a throwaway gag, but is typically an indicator of how a person has taken a reputational blow.

Now, translate that to the real world. Imagine if you will that from behind you, on maximum volume, you had "OH STEP BRO YOU'RE SO BIIIIIG!! AAAHNNN", and all your classmates turned around to look at you.

Then you attempt to go "It wasn't me, it was her, it's not me", do you really think this is going to stop people from gossiping about you, spreading nasty rumors about you and generally not making your social life worse?

Just because it's an understandable mistake, does not mean that it magically erases any potential negative repercussions. This isn't social media where you can just delete a post and then try to pretend it never happened and filter out the replies and attempt to hide everything, plug your ears and think it never impacts you for real because these are people you will regularly meet on the daily, strangers and potential acquaintances who will now have an incorrect assumption about you that you would not be able to dismantle because even just convincing one person that it wasn't you or that it's not what you're into is going to take a dedicated conversation in which you're fighting a preconception.

Because to me, it sounds like you've never had to really handle any sort of situation like this, or spectated a situation like this in real life or seen a downward spiral of bullying or paid attention to the current dating scene in real life. Which is why I keep saying, if this was real life. Even your example of your friend loudly moaning on your phone, that wasn't what she did, but even that will have some clear rumor milling about you done as well. Now if you're lucky, something bigger and more interesting will happen in everyone's lives to move them away from you, but if not then it can start snowballing from there.

That or you're actively downplaying it because the recipient of the uneven level of harm here is a guy, which plays into how we trivialize harm towards men in real life and in fiction compared to harm towards women. Now, this is not an assumption that you're misandrist, but it is a real element that can cloud one's impartiality and assessment of a situation which is common enough. And like I stated, the more typically accepted level of harm towards men in these sort of romcom situation is typically physical assault. But I still denote the reality that it is ultimately physical assault, something that could be filed as a criminal action, because a person has opted to escalate the level of violence beyond what originally was present. And that potentially criminal act is the more acceptable standard than what she did. Think about that.

By the way, if you're ever wondering why I'm discussing this so seriously about a gag manga relating to the romcom story of an invisible thirst trap despite openly being an absolute degenerate. It's because we diverted from just having fun with the silliness of the story to talking about potential real world repercussions if this was emulated in some way in our real life.

If it's 2D, fictional stories, stuff like that. Sure, join in. UOOOH CUNNY! PLAP PLAP! TAKESHIIIIII! all those jokes, sure since we're dealing with absolute fiction, after all we don't have invisible hot busty thirsty anime women in real life... And that's the real tragedy here. But that bit aside. If we're going to divert into talking about real life. I am going to tackle it as seriously as I can because we have real world consequences to consider.

Within the framework of the story, it can be fun because we know nothing will come out of it. We know that at the end, he's going to be hanging around with his busty invisible waifu and give us fanservice that some people here wish we had fr fr. But that's within a very tightly controlled framework where we know nothing bad will truly happen to the MC. A fantasy.

How are these people not noticing a whole floating outfit?

Starting to think that she isn't actually invisible and everyone else is just blind...

Wow that was a LOT of words, too bad I'm not reading all of that- I'm kidding, I did read all of it.

You raise a lot of good points, and it made me realize how I don't often worry about my reputation irl, because I've already built up a pretty unshakable impression of myself in every social circle I'm a part of.

So yeah, I suppose this would be pretty awful, ESPECIALLY if he does already act scummy around other people.

(By the way, my reason for why I think he's probably at least a tiny bit of a jerk to others is because he's generally acted rude to her from the very first chapter. A kind person would at least try to act polite to a stranger even if just out of common courtesy, and anyone worried about their reputation wouldn't have a habit of brushing people off harshly.)

So in conclusion, I agree with you, you're right. That's a pretty major blow to his reputation, and the only way to recover from it would be if a large amount of people knew him well enough to know he isn't like that, and I HIGHLY doubt this dude has that many close friends...

So yeah, she went too far with this.

An insult based on a biological trait, specifically one that effects skin, is not racist? What is then, oh great and wise sage?

Alright strange alien life form, or perhaps visitor from another dimension, I see your point. Legally it's not racism. He's still a jerk though.
