Honestly this chapter has made me want to understand ppl's perspectives no matter how disgusting and selfish they may seem Yea he's homophobic but not because he hates gays being gay but because he can't trust them and doesn't feel safe based on what he's experienced and couldn't stand the fact that his friend was something that had given him inexcusable trauma. Don't get me wrong okay, I hate homophobes F them but, if you have a good and justifiable reason as to why you're feeling the way you're feeling then go do you.
Ofc how he acted was wrong in every way and way to impulsive but he wouldn't just beat the sh** out of some random gay couple kissing on the street. He felt more rage-ful cuz it was his friend
@DICKZ I can see his point of view, but at the same time I don't fully get it. Touma is gay, not a molester. It makes me think that..there is a problem within Kensuke considering he automatically attributed Touma, his friend, to a molester just because he heard he loves a boy. He even acknowledges that not all gay people are that way, but somehow manages to connect Touma to his personal trauma... Perhaps, he feels this way because being molested by a man was his first “encounter” with quèerness. I guess the way we’re first exposed to a new thing affects how we see such a thing afterward, although we may have educated ourselves a bit more about it. I think if Kensuke tries to open up and talk to Touma about it, his fear will fade.
@randompersonig Yea. It's just that he doesn't seem to be able to separate being gay and being a molester since these two things played huge roles in his trauma. He thinks of the two as not exactly being the same things but he seems them as having close relation to one another and touma being gay is going to take him a lot of time to get used to. I feel like when he gets used to the fact that someone he's extremely close to is gay it'll help him heal a bit and stop him from letting trauma influence his decisions. And like you said, him opening up to Touma will probably allow the fear he has to fade when he starts to see things from someone else's point of view.
