I agree, and don't agree.

If Ayu had portrayed the domestic violence well, which she didn't, then that is fine. There are other ways to show a relationship isn't working. Her portrayal of domestic violence completely trivialised an under reported and very very real issue. It's absurd.

If you're going to portray an issue like domestic violence you need to do it well. If you don't, you look ignorant and shallow and people who have experienced these issues have every single right to call you out. If somebody does it well, credit to them.

So, I think people are 100% justified in calling Ayu out these shambles of a PV.

It's not about morals, it's about understanding the issues you present. Ayu clearly doesn't understand.
