But also, I got way too distracted from the main story by goddamned Karen. Holy shit woman, keep your fucking pants on. Two 14 year-olds, at the same time!?
It's worse than that, the other girl is still in middle school. And it started a year ago. I think the thing that squicks me the most, though, is how s*x-obsessed said middle schooler is. Sex positivity is cool and all, but holy hell not at that age.
On the subject of Karen and the bar scene, it also bothered me in another way. Karen is portrayed as this mentor figure giving life advice for Aya to navigate her relationship with Marika. But the advice she gives is, like, "str8 girls have different values, to them it's not normal to have multiple casual sex partners, so try to see it from her view". Hello??? Aya isn't actually interested in casual sex, she just went along with it because YOU pressured her into it. Why do you think you're qualified to give this advice when you're the cause of the thing you're saying is the problem, Ms predator lady??
