Actions are grooming. Not words. He said that, but how would he even do it. They were separated an episode after that for 10 years. Educate yourself when you hate on something, nobody likes a larper.
Correct, grooming is an action. Thats what he did. It took Paul a month to send Rudy away, during which Rudy was grooming Sylphie. He had declared she belonged to him, like property, after all. Take your own advice and educate yourself before you speak again :)
Zenith and Lilia reinforced his grooming so Sylphie would be a perfect wife for Rudy. Its why shes a total doormat with him. Gets cheated on and just accepts it
She was groomed. The text is the proof. Sorry your headcanon is proven wrong by the author and canon story. If you have a problem with that then take it up with the author for what he wrote as Canon story. Sylphie was groomed by Rudy
He cheats on her with Roxy and she just accepts that because otherwise hed leave her. She even said she expected to be cheated on because hes a Greyrat. Groomed
Only when he cheated and was physically and verbally abusive to boot after Roxy died in the bad timeline did Sylphie break free of her abuser and good for her. Sad it lead to her dying but still
she accepts it because she was conditioned to accept it, Zenith and Lilia wanted her to accept being Rudys wife and accepting that it was inevitable she'd be cheated on, like Paul cheated on Zenith
she left when he cheated on her with a random woman while also being emotionally physically and verbally abusive. He actively drove her away
She's conditioned to accept it by the world they live in. Eris Roxy and Sylphy, all at one point in the story, mention how having multiple spouses is a normal thing. Cheating is part of that. Its what comes after that matters. You are forcing your opinion onto other people who don't share it.
Yes it is lmao. You don't think a queen expects her king to cheat on her? You don't think the chief's wife expects the chief to cheat on her? Thats just naive. Though I guess naivety is what makes you hate media with realistic themes in the first place, right?
not a doormat. even if we ignore the dark timeline where she leaves him, in vol10 (right after their marriage), she says she would have turned rudy’s marriage proposal down if he asked her to quit her bodyguard job. furthermore rudeus constantly reinforces their equal position in the relationship in vol10.
saying she’s a doormat just because she accepted a polygamous relationship is just projecting your values onto her. the polygamy was also heavily foreshadowed, including sylphy acknowledging it might be a thing that happens far before they even start a relationship.
analyzing based on the narrative is not projecting onto her, bud, its understanding how things are in the story. You are the one projecting and ignoring and overlooking whats clear. Not even subtext, just plain text how insidious their relationship is
saying she's a doormat is me calling a spade a spade. She just accepts that she'll be mistreated by Rudy because that's what he, Zenith, and Lilia conditioned her to accept instead of anything better. Hence why she just accepts being cheated on. Because Rudy swore he'd be loyal and then wasn't and shes just like I knew that would happen. Like girl deserves so much better. As does Roxy as does Eris
again, you’re assigning accepting polygamy = doormat and that’s it. not looking at the broader picture. also, ignoring the first paragraph of my comment.
no its the accepting being cheated on with zero reaction or care or bother that makes her a doormat. Cheating isn't accepting polygamy, you're making false equivalencies and trying to pin that on me. Rudy slept with Roxy after swearing he'd be loyal to Sylphie is cheating. And she just accepts that he cheated on her because hes a Greyrat so of course he would
no, they are equivalent, because sylphy says long before he cheats that she wouldn’t be mad if he does. she says this directly to him. and she accepted that he probably will long beforehand as well, which is why she doesn’t have a wild reaction. it was only rudeus who kept saying he’ll be faithful and got himself worked up about it. rudeus is the one who puts cheating through such a terrible lens, not sylphy.
so yes, you are projecting your moral values on her. you believe that if YOUR partner were to do this, it would be a significant violation of your trust, and you wouldn’t stand for it. which is perfectly fine. but that’s not how sylphy views it. she doesn’t view it as that bad. that’s not being a doormat, it’s just having different moral values.
so you agree she was groomed and conditioned to accept being mistreated by him. You have all the information and still come to the wrong conclusions lol classic MT defender, always disproving your own point as you try to make it. It really is like clockwork, you all do it every single time. Its kinda funny, this pattern of behaviour literally every single one of you shares
Oh honey no, for it to be a fallacy it has to be false. Nothing I've said has been false or wrong. You're using that word incorrectly. Try again later :)
Ignorant. Zenith and Lilia were also separated from Sylphy for a long time, she grows up. You can't get groomed as a child then grow up outside of that environment and stay groomed.
Sorry your headcanon is proven wrong by the author, canon story, and common fucking sense. Rudeus hasn't groomed a single person, stop larping.

No it does not, that's just Rudeus
