Okay. I just need to get this off my chest.

And I *understand* that fiction tends to telescope or elide some real world issues in the name of getting a plot-line done inside the timeframe. Things get shortened, or skipped over, or are implied to happen off-screen.

But goddamit.

That boy is a refugee. He hasn't been in the country for a year, it's a culture shock even going from one Western, English-speaking country to another, he has no resources of his own, and Kara is a massively important part of what little support network he has.

a) Of course he couldn't just walk into an internship at her company. What possible way is he going to pick up the myriad of little skills and the background necessary to do that? She wants to be condescending about him getting a job as a bartender? He didn't have a family take him in as a child and put him through years of schooling first, thanks.

b) There is a huuuuuuge imbalance of power in their relationship and she shouldn't be tapping that at all. Since she is, some awareness - any at all - of what it might mean for her SO if this relationship goes south, that would have been great. As it is, she reads to me as massively irresponsible.

**

Yes, yes, I'm thinking of the pretty white boy as a woobie. And gender-reversed depictions of this also turn up a lot in other media.

And he's not a pure flawless muffin - irresponsible and tone-deaf relationship-wise etc. etc.

But those are my reasons for finding the relationship unhealthy.

SA: I'll add that finding a relationship 'problematic' isn't the same as not wanting it written about. 'Problematic' in fiction is a great way to unpack tricky things in rl.

But - I genuinely find that relationship problematic.
