Hot take but I feel bad for the FMC, I know about the gang grape was very wrong. Like I was graped and SA and it made me feel sick to my stomach. But from her home life and her school like she doesn't exactly had a good role model at all. She is surrounded by horrible friends and bad people. Psychologically, this would play out almost the same. It kinda shows in a warped way everyone's flaws and shows that everyone has some type of evil. Maybe I feel this way cause I can sympathize with her finding her validation in others even if it's sexual favors, I did that when I was 11 till 17 because I was SAed and r@ped. Because I was younger that 11 when it both happened, I had the warped judgement that that's all I was worth and I would crave validation in almost the same manner.
