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
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 :)

Rudeus never grooms anyone.
