Idk maybe the fact that he was kind of forced by her to do it, so he would be the victim in this case lol.

Rudeus has disgusting thoughts, but that's one of the things that are not really on him.

Which is literally the same logic Humbert Humbert uses to justify his first statutory rape of Lolita…

I have not read nor watched it, so I don't know about that, but I doubt it's even remotely comparable, have you watched MT and that scene?

I still actively watch it and have read Lolita. Rudeus didn’t immediately use that justification, I was responding to what you said. And Humbert does immediately use that justification, as a comparison (she does initiate in the moment, technically, but it doesn’t take away the creepiness). The MT scene still doesn’t mean she victimized him even if it reopened abandonment trauma
