#but Uea forgiving King so quickly made it feel like the show didn't think it was a real mistake

well, so I had thought it could happen and Bed Friend kinda lost me. First, I had been concerned King's jealousy would go too far for me. He went right to the edge and was hovering. I like jealousy that is about the person being jealous, not when they blame the person they want. Then I'm like, you a jerk, go away.

So King kinda blames Uea for his harassment in episode 7. Uea apologizes to King because he pushes him away and I guess okay, sure, that's the kind thing to do, but I don't see Uea in the wrong there at all. Uea had been pushing him away before yes, but he had always been honest about their relationship status and Uea ended it because King acted crappy in that situation.

And although Uea gets to decide what to do and doesn't allow himself to be cornered, which was good for me, King's coming in and fixing it without Uea's involvement didn't sit well with me. The intentions were good obviously and Uea is okay with it, but as someone who has experienced harassment, there is often shameful feelings involved and the idea that someone would put what happened to Uea on display yet again without his consent feels revictimizing, albeit clearly without the intention of that what so ever.

Anyway, I still think King is kind and cares about Uea and doesn't see any problems with these things, but I do think they excused his accusations because of his jealousy and they played it as "meaning well is more important than actions."

I'm sure that worked for a lot of people, but just didn't work for me. All of this would be fixed for me with the right discussion, but based on what it all felt like in this episode and what the focus is in the next episode I don't see it going that way.
