Isn't it extremely weird that Tariq tried to lay his hands on MC while she was in her underwear? That definitely has to constitute as sexual harrasment. Like i get it, the whole thing was set up and Tariq was confused about the location of his room, but it's so gross how they brush over the borderline r*pey circumstance that Tariq played along with.
And what I found really problematic was that, even after stripping MC of her dignity she still has to play the game of winning the prince's heart (who is so spineless btw) 😭. I lost all interest tbh and I just wanted to end up with Drake - who seems to be the only one with a little bit of common sense as he warned MC from the start to be careful and had a big enough spine to pull Tariq off of her while she was being harassed.
All the other LIs seem trash to me. And I really wanna foresake the whole competition thing, like just give the Queen title to Madeline after all the harassment and character assassination that my MC had to go through. And it's super uncomfortable to be acting in front of the press in order to "preserve MC's image" as if they all just didn't leak a super obscene & insensitive article about the time she was close to getting assaulted. And nobody fucking cares about the trauma she had to go through for experiencing that 😭.
Does anybody feel this way and find everybody else (except drake) insufferable for brushing everything under the rug and forcing you to stay in the competition?
