that we are being over dramatic but the thing is, even if you say it’s fiction, there are times where these lines blur, as a creator it’s meant to mirror life, it’s only natural for people to project, to feel deeply and connected to stories to characters, so here’s my meta
https://www.d2l.org/child-grooming-signs-behavior-awareness/ all information i got from this website so please be aware of the signs and it might help yourself or the people you love that had, or are experiencing it. please this is a form of abuse.
the thing about groomers is that it’s easier for them to manipulate a teenager because they straddle the line of agency and dependency, a demographic so desperate to feel mature they will trip into relationships with people twice their age to prove their level of maturity.
Katsuya hears about Kyoko and her own life because he was a student teacher, someone who has power and authority over her, on a personal side I could never turn down my professor when he heard my panic attacks, I couldn’t say no, he was an authority figure who has my grades
he has seen Kyoko’s pent up anger, frustration, and her desperate need for someone to be there because no one was, it’s easy to coax a child like this, someone so hurt and ruined, a moth seeking flame, comfort, an easy target to fill ideals and to mold them to you
I think this step might be skipped because Kyoko didn’t have a close relationship with her parents but being a student teacher can give you access to records and files such as addresses and phone numbers, there may be other faculty professors who have seen her and trusted Katsuya
my religion professor knew what my parish, what i’m doing; most of the teachers in my school were either trusting of his intentions to me, because most of them know my home situation in where i am constantly being, someone older can help this child little by little
Katsuya takes her out to a hearty ramen date and compliments her vs to Kyoko rarely eating with her parents and being told she is a rough person; he filled, months and months of being together, he helps her with her school,
groomers dont just want sex,they want complete control over someone much less experienced then they are. They want to groom and shape their victim into not just a sexual object, but also an unquestionably obedient “partner” that will put up with their abuses far into the future.
groomers will tell their victims they are different from other people their age, more mature; special. They will isolate their victims from outside sources of support, making their victim rely solely upon their care and approval.
Kyoko got pregnant with Tohru at sixteen, which means she and Katsuya were having a lot of sex when she was 15. My professor knew I was a writer who took up interest in writing about pre-marital sex, he told me about his own sexual experiences, his own faults.
Katsuya made Kyoko dependent on him that when he died her world lost all meaning, If Katsuya wasn’t taking advantage of her, he would help her pay for her tuition to go to hs, or introduce her to friends her age, he left her with nothing more than Tohru and a empty house
i could say more but whenever someone says i’m looking far into this relationship, i feel offended and scared, because I was a groomed child at 16. People normalizing this makes me cry, you’re invalidating the poeple who went through this, the people whose friends went as well
a 15 yr old is not going to have equal power when a 22 year old is plying them with gifts, attention, and “guidance.” acting like these abusive dynamics doesn’t exist, does a disservice to countless victims, makes them feel invalidated and unheard.
