After reading the last three chapters multiple times I think that both Hino and Koguma are responsible for what happened. Koguma didn't have to push herself this far for Hino's sake. She keeps doing way too much for others at her own expense . Hino knows this and while she clearly tried to get her to reject going into the bathroom with her, Koguma still went along with Hino's demand because she doesn't think of her as negatively as Hino herself. Sure, she should have backed out the moment Koguma agreed to come with her, but I don't think it's okay to gang up on her for not being able to predict the outcome of every single decision she makes. Hino did let go of Koguma's hand and agreed to turn around and cover her ears. I'd also like to point out that Koguma agreeing to let Hino take her panties down when she could've done that herself might've given Hino the wrong idea about her feelings. Hino did realize that she crossed Koguma's boundaries and apologized for it. Her apology wasn't just accepted , Koguma reassured Hino that she wasn't hurt nearly enough to come to hate her . Consent is extremely important, but that's exactly why you shouldn't judge people merely for not having your sensibilities . Just because you feel a certain way towards being at a certain distance or performing certain acts with certain people doesn't mean that everyone must have the exact same no-no threshold as you. Imposing your values upon others regardless of how these values affect them is coercive and no amount of good intent or moral justification will change that. Also, neither fetishes nor sexuality itself are inherently objectifying. It's the attitude towards the other person that makes the difference. As long as you value your partner's feelings on the same level as yours and ask for consent in a pressure-free environment it's perfectly okay to act on your desires.
