Comment by _ on My Beloved Oppressor - Chapter 28

@_ spot on

@_ she's sheltered and from what you read at the beginning she's not really been educated much besides how to be a proper lady and take a hobby. yes, some people can truly live in ignorance like this, and from what you saw before we got thrown into flashback void, she does understand why everyone (unfairly) hate her. also consider that maybe she didn't actually say those words like that but it was MLs biased POV since now he knows who she is and let his hate for the marquis warp his perception of her

@wowo this great talk about her ignorance is glorified infantalization. there was no possible way that all this injustice went on in her household and country and she had no way of knowing if she had a shred of critical thinking, which means she chose to ignore things at some point. and she did. she saw someone so mad at her recital and considered it a tantrum, people died under her father's watch and didn't bother asking a single soul about it. when you're THIS ignorant, it becomes a choice. and that was her sin.

@_ my point exactly . It was more like she didn't want to know about it all and ignored it rather than never taught.
C'mon it's not like you are a kid forever, if you have presence of mind you naturally pick up things . So it's all come down to a choice at last.

@_ so because he didn't instantly kill her she should smile and suck his c*ck while he keeps abusing her? lmao get over yourself and your political awareness, if we're talking about realism he would've been long dead from the type of torture he'd been put through. even if he miraculousy survived that there are a shitton of other unrealistic things about this fantasy world but ofc you bring up just the ones that excuse him. is it that hard to admit that what he did was wrong and not justified by either his trauma fantasies or anette being stupid and smiling like she's proud of those who fell in battle instead of looking more sad?

@and then they fuc*** you're so high, i need what you're having. where, in the paragraphs worth of my comments, is the justification of the ml's bullshit? my point is she's not the toddler yall insist she is. and how hard is it to admit that in cases of revolution, THE RICH aren't the ones to be pitied?  "there's two unrealistic bs in this, so everything else is unrealistic?" really? that's the extent of your comprehension?

@_ ok let me get this right, if you're not trying to justify ml's actions, what exactly are you trying to explain in that whole a$$ paragrath? Because the commenters who "point fingers" as you put it, aka those who say ML's actions aren't justified so he's still trash, DO admit how shi*** Anette's father was and how everything was better if he was dead. So yes, revolutions are hard, the rich aren't the one to be pittied. I 100% agree with this. And so? Who exactly treated Anette as a toddler or how is she to blame in anything? HOW is she guilty for her father's actions? In reality she would either be killed off to avoid another uprising or married off so that royal blood keeps flowing in next generations. But this is NOT reality and that is the man who is supposed to love her and spend her life with (Male fuc**** Lead) so there are certain expectations from him: aka, NOT abuse FL to the point of su*cide just because of how she was raised.

@and then they fuc*** the point is that this story is so much more complex than he's bad, and she's good. If you lot wanted black or white stories, I would've directed y'all to Saving My Sweetheart. I've never said that y'all were wrong to blame the ml whose name I don't even recall, just that I'm sick and tired of yapping abt Anette being an angel. She wasn't "couldn't help she was born rich" "couldn't help she was sheltered". She had privileges (that her ppl were sacrificed for) that weren't put to good use because she didn't care to do so. She wasn't a passerby. She's not "caught in the crossfire". She's a god**** royalty. The people's hatred of her wasn't unfounded.

Just say y'all have never stomach-ed anything more than a generic bedtime story "she fell first, he fell harder". This is so much more complex than that. Neither she nor the ml were saints and if y'all can't understand that much, then leave. Dw, no one will miss y'all in these comment sections.

@_

yeah literally no one called or treated her like an angel. Sure people like her more than ML but the whole discussion 'yall' had was about how his actions towards her are not justified even if she was sheltered/spoiled. If you think being upset over a character having been abused equals seeing them as angelic that's on you. People literally talked about how they want to see, and I quote one comment from memory, "the real anette, not the perfect anette he imagined but the real and flawed anette...etc". You're pulling the whole "angelic" and "saint" from your a$$hole.

I also don't quite agree with the "she wasn't a passerby" comment considering the fact that a woman in that time of age, since you want to be so historically accurate, wasn't used for much more than marriage. The fact that her father "sheltered" her by embellishing the reality of how bad their family treated people shows how she was being kept away from politics but whatever, think what you want. You do you, keep babbling about how special you are and how you're the only one who truly understands the story like none of us morons do lmao.

@and then they fuc*** her being a woman is irrelevant considering there's no apparent sexism woven into the world building, seeing as the revolution had female figures and that Anette herself was a renowned pianist, so chances are this particular culture is egalitarian. idk where you got that I wanted historical accuracy. because I insist fiction are meant to reflect real life issues? because I brought up that real life dictatorships never benefitted the dictator exclusively?

you shouldn't have neglected your English classes, see, you missed the lesson on figures of speech! you missed the fact that my "y'all bark abt Anette's angelicness" was a hyperbole! that didn't mean she descendend from heavens, if that wasn't so obvious. it means she wasn't blameless. she wasn't innocent. she was at fault, too. and to turn around to claim the extent of her character was being a victim (she is, but thats not all) is a blatant mischaracterazation. a central theme of this manhwa is whether ignorance is a sin. and if you have no disputes abt my "Anette is not JUST a victim" and I have no dispute abt "the ML is an abuser" then why the fu** are you talking to me?
