[!!!SPOILERS!!!] Bea's Grocery Shopping?

[Toasterloaf]

Don't look here if you don't want to get spoiled

I just finished the night where Mae and Bea ate dinner at her house, but I must've missed something about the dude that wanted to teach Bea how to drive. Did he rape her or something? Is that why she can't just up and leave her dad? And for him to keep the dude around, maybe it cements the deal? I don't understand.

I felt it was more the dude (That her dad told her to stay away from) was kinda... a pedophile? And the fact that he's still around spoke more to rape culture "No harm no foul" mentality. I don't think he actually ever touched her thus he's still around even though he's a creep that obviously upsets Bea.

He's kept around because as she decribes in one line of dialogue, he's THE repair guy in their shop, which, you would think if he's getting rapey, he should go, but that's rape culture. The whole "Well he never actually did anything and he IS the best repair guy"

She mentions why she can't leave her dad when Mae confronts her about the same thing. Bae says her dad lost it when her mom died and his life's in shambles now - she worries that since her dad can barely do anything, standing up to him about anything will do more harm than good.

As for the guy, I'm sure it's more that he's been rumored or known to be a pedophile but didn't actually manage to do anything to Bae. As for why he's still there, he's been there so long and is THE repair guy, it's more difficult to fire him. It's really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ old school mentallity that people sometimes have, where since he's very good at his job and hasn't been actually caught doing something, he's kept around instead of fired.

+1 This is a WAY better and more concise explanation.
