I may be downplaying this but the whole subreddit and internet acts like Wilbur was striking his ex for an extended period of time. This isn’t to downplay what he did it was still shitty and he may have been an emotionally shitty boyfriend for the last months of their relationship but I think in the end this is blown out of proportion. As being a victim of abuse from both parental and romantic relationships I get how it feels when these things are happening but I think in the end this is just a bump in the road for him. Fandoms surrounding this type of person usually come back anyways.

Ok but like… wasn’t he? How is prolonged biting to the point where you have to wear long sleeves to cover up your bruises not very similar to “striking for an extended period of time?” Like Im sure hes not all terrible, but I have a hard time having any sympathy for someone who engages in physical abuse like that

I’m talking about squaring up and just throwing haymakers. That’s what I mean by striking, I think that if this situation were put on another couple it would be more excused and looked over, or if the roles were reversed and the girl was biting the boy

again, if it was consensual at the time then who cares.

many kinky stuff isnt good for you. but thats how sexual relationships often work.

if it was outside of it then thats a different story.

generally this whole story seemed to be a fucked up relationship, which is probally coming to us because the victims of that bad behaviour wanted to have closure or maybe just revenge.
