The problem isn’t the fact that Kc explored, it was the nasty things he says about whenever he’s away from her, it is the disgusting sense of entitlement to her body, it is the lies and low self esteem he projects on Aniya.
I’m sure KC does come across as ‘normal’ to the average Black man because he is the perfect case study of the average straight Black man’s use of pro-Black rhetoric to cloak his misogyny & entitlement to Black women’s bodies.
this is why the recoupling hurts so bad. he degraded her so badly and she never knew. she genuinely thought he was a genuine person that cared for her, and because of that she didn’t want to write him off just yet. omfg.
