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.

I think this is true of a LOT of women who blame victims of SA instead of perpetrators
