>The guy isn't a retard, he clearly knows whats up and just don't want to be pressured into an unwanted romantic relationship.
Of course this crossed my mind when I saw the first ep too. I thought to myself: "what if he's just playing dumb because he doesn't want to offend/hurt her by outright saying he's not interested?" I feel this is giving the guy too much credit however. The impression I got here from the creators is a play on the trope of dense male main characters who don't understand a girl is into him even when she spells it out. I myself have pretended to not notice when girls like me to avoid the situation, but these guys really don't seem to get it.
If he truly had the foresight to pretend to not be interest in order to spare the girl's feelings, then they should also be smart enough to realize how much they're subsequently hurting the girl by playing dumb. Rather than feeling bad about being rejected and moving on, you're instead making her struggle to figure out how to get her feelings across to you. Once it's obvious she isn't going to give up, not saying anything is cruel. You're essentially leading her on and toying with her at that point while wasting her time and letting her make a fool of herself in the process.
>It just made me imagine how offensive the gender swaped version would be considered.
No doubt. Dense or not if the tables were turned it would be very fucked up to see a guy try to make a girl drink his pee or look at his dick when she's not interested.
