I think it's quite the opposite; nepotism may very well shield him in situations where an employee without close ties to management would get thrown under the bus.
we shall see if it's true
as long as he remains on good terms with him, he can expect quite better protection than your average Joe.
chuck doesn't seem bothered when MC and Ian get beaten up by oliver
even if you're in very good terms with chuck
he just brushes it off and lets august handle it
though august did it for the club at this point he is more likely to protect the MC than chuck from any physical threats
Drug labs are also quite normal thing for a drug-oriented business to set up.
a drug lab so normal that kathy is hiding it's purpose from her partners?
yeah ,I don't think so
'd also be very surprised if research of say, viagra, didn't involve getting participants/test subjects in sex-related situations, give the actual nature of the research.
i would say the viagra comparison doesn't really track 1:1 sure viagra has a huge list of potentially life threatening side effects
but nothing quite potent like the drug abel and kathy are testing rn in the club
it messes with your mind and memory even if you're indirectly exposed to it for a short time
As opposed to what, legal businesses which openly endorse and promote cult mentality from their workers in order to exploit them better? Hello, professional games industry where if you're not crunching 20 hours a day on the AAA title you're not a "true gamer" but a loser who doesn't belong.
that's a very hyperbolic statement
but i did mean it
the entire club is just a few steps away from being turned into a sexcult from a sexclub especially given kathleens dark nature
wouldn't be the first time now would it ?
there are many such instances IRL too
Consider this: the club has run multiple editions of the Exhibition, each of them with a handful of participants. If you "never really quit the club" how comes we only see/hear about just one of them? Shouldn't all the losers, or at least some of them, be still around, sucking dicks and getting fucked, the way that you claim Felicia is bound to be doing if she doesn't win?
let's break it down shall we
i would say the vast majority of the girls who didn't "make" it to the carnations finale probably ended up working for the men who were their sponsors either directly or they work their debt to the club
lucy is one such example
so that would mean each year atleast some of these women end up working for their sponsors or other members of the club
then you have guys like august/donovon who probably turn these girls into regular prostitutes/escorts/pornstars that work for them
they're already trading regular working girls with eachother so it shouldn't be a stretch to assume that they don't "trade" the loosers to other clubs around the city/state etc
and finally though kathleen doesn't seem to care much about the women who participate in these games
I suspect she finds great joy in tormenting the handful of previous carnations that actually "made" it
those who managed to survive her games like allision
this must be a handful at best given what we know of kathleen
but i do admit that it's kind of strange that we don't hear anyone talk about previous carnations and house girls
even though both hana and ian has been around long enough
What do you think is going to happen to Edwin if he simply tries to quit? You keep talking how the club will never let him or anyone for that matter quit so come on. What do you believe happen to him?
the most obvious answer is blackmail
MC has everything to loose and kathleen holds most of the strings
she could simply hold his money hostage and make him dance for her tunes (atleast until he completes his education)
but even becoming a doctor isn't going to change much
how different is it from being a "mob" doctor or a emergency medic for a cartel?
kathleen and the club members aren't going to let an "asset" like the MC just walk away when they could potentially use his services for decades to come
or she could end up brainwashing the MC and groom him to becoming her minion
she already has almost everything she needs to ruin his life legally and otherwise
but of course the MC could also be "wacked" if he tries something really stupid
like becoming a whistleblower that tries to expose the whole thing
I'm not sure if Grace even knows the club exists. She is just trying for Victoria to get her bidding, but it has nothing to do with the club.
oh she definitely knows more about the MC than Victoria or any of the LIs
she literally says that she KNOWS everything because chuck TELLS her EVERYTHING
she repeats the line again to Victoria to emphasize that she knows pretty much everything that chuck knows
may i remind you that Victoria's response to that "hook" was simply "fuck you"? So much for the scary hooks.
after that simple "fuck you" we have seen events only from Victoria's side
even that single threat alone shook victoria enough that she confessed the truth to MC and Ian
we still haven't seen things from grace's perspective and we don't know what's going to happen when grace tells chuck what happened or what's she is going to do next after failing to convince victoria
Between Rose scamming old people out of their money for her husband and Mina's sex bucket list i think they may be more flexible about these things that you give them credit for. At least in Mina's case there's more than a few posters around here who are actually salivating at the idea of her getting in the business herself.
now who is the delusional one here
?
he cannot damage her much, should he ever win at chess, since she is too valuable.
not directly
but just like how kathleen is trying to use MC to angle hana
i suspect chuck will use MC to get back at abel through sophie
Kath never let´s you out of her grasp completely.
exactly
is there any hint of that in the dialogue?
no
but you have to admit haters turning to lovers is one of the most common tropes
arc ?
If you mean week 3 of the carnation games then no
It's not finished
