EXACTLY!! I feel like Iltak is high-key being fetishized. It's crazy how no one intervened in this whole story. At the beginning I was seriously against what was happening in the story and convinced that Iltak was straight and homophobic. But who can blame the guy if he constantly gets groped by other dudes, it must have left a bad impression about gay men. If the story was about a girl, people would say "she's in heaven, why can't she appreciate that she's surrounded by all these guys" "what she caught feelings for them?! Once a slut always a slut" type shit. I feel like the stories were victim forgives the rapist get romantisized a lot. You also see these things with the dark romance girls
