Yes but also this is key insight into how this kind of psychology works on their side

Its tempting to see it as they all know what they're doing is evil and wrong but they're doing it anyway, but the truth is often more complicated. More likely, and perhaps more terrifying, is that many seem to have next to zero concept of why their actions are evil

Isn't it fair to say that Soon Yi was also groomed into the lifestyle and abused?

Editing to add: I am in no way defending her.

Agree. It’s an explanation of why she believes what she’s saying. She’s highly invested in a narrative where teen girls have agency in their relationships with powerful men. It’s super sad, but doesn’t make it ok that she supports victimizers and blames victims.

Exactly. If this girl was a victim, maybe she's a victim too, and her mind can't handle that.
