You are putting it together based on your reader knowledge that the only characters with those names appearing in the story are the ones in the forefront of your mind. Missy and Taylor don't have the benefit of such a myopic view of their world.
no i am not using meta knowledge in fact i am using the oposite it is public knowledge that oni lee is called oni lee, it i public knowledge that lung is a rage dragon(dragon being the key word) and it is public knowledge that he apparently pushed back leviathan (an endbringer, which in universe are seen as natural disasters) none of this is meta knowledge about the worm verse also no i was not saying they are likely the only characters with that name because the one steve limit is stupid i am saying that they are propably the only 2 asians in brokton bay that would both have the name lee and also nicname the other "my dragon"
Wish you could to, please let me know if you do. To clarify, yes the "honorable Warrior" thing can be done in an AU setting, my point is that it's no more of an AU setting than the rape farms.
Funny thing. When I was in High School, there were three guys in my grade who were colloquially known as White Steve, Brown Steve, and Asian Steve.
Didn't Taylor not know that he could change into a dragon on her first night, she knew that he transformed and that some people said he grow wings later into his transformation, but she didn't know dragon was part of it.
I was quoting, you might want to ask the people who said it originally, any guesses I have would be very insulting.
You know, now that I think about it, that would work much better.
Sometimes authors just really love putting their Draco in some leather pants i guess.
Can't believe I didn't see this first. Is Cherish joining the team?
Which unless you took it out of context supports my point that the rape farms don't exist.
That's not supported by the quote that was posted. Heck, even rape or forced prostitution isn't supported by that, although I agree that would definitely be something all the gangs did.
what do you think it means to tell someone that they have to be a prostitute? (and have the power to enforce it)
A threat. A credible threat of forced prostitution, but the quote has no evidence the threat was carried out when someone refused to pay. I agree it likely was, but that has nothing to do with "rape farms"
Agreed.
They can, especially as the ones making the demands would generally be other middle schoolers or be talking to the older siblings/parents.
