people dont understand the difference between liking a fictional character who is bad but well written vs a person irl who is bad

In story it’s safe to love the unlovable, it’s where we can experience danger in the safety of our imagination.

As someone who was reading Anne Rice FAR too early, I’ve always loved “bad” characters 🤷🏻♀️“They’re a MURDERER/MONSTER!” Yeah. And? 🤣

Additionally, discussing the complexity (aka wrongs) of a beloved character shouldn’t require a caveat that this is simply literary analysis of a complex character who has good and bad aspects

Bad decisions make good stories. Bad characters are a huge part of that.

We seem to think our protagonists should be good people. Like flaws invalidate the character

The general public did not enjoy or try to understand their Literature classes. This is the result.

I grew up xian and it was so ingrained in us that even thinking about evil was wrong. I couldn't possibly even like a character that was deemed evil or wrong. My son had me questioning this as he...

i think does fall under the rise of puritanism we somehow see growing in the youger generation now

Also, other worlds and cultures within fiction have different values and norms. Westeros isn’t the US.

It’s a little scary as a comment on black and white thinking…and in the realm of fiction, it’s puritanical.

This has been happening in fan spaces for a LONG time, and it feels like it just gets worse every year

I think it's also the inability to reserve judgement of a characters actions long enough to ask "why", or to consider all that came before.

This! I also think that some of this is a little anti-intellectualism leaking into the broader culture from Christian fundamentalism.

It’s telling that my 9th grade AP reading was great expectations and ten years ago it was the hunger games.

I really hate the new phenomenon that art and our enjoyment of it must be a reflection of our own morality.

Even the teens get this 😭 look at snow the latest hunger games book. His complexity and internal moral battle is what makes him interesting.

It’s like this with everything. “They’re problematic!” Yes, they’re the villain it’s literally the point, it’s meant to be a problem.

This was exactly why I liked Nesta from book 1. Feyre took a predictable hero’s journey, Nesta was an unknown that I was desperate to know what made her tick and why she acted the way she did.

I just get so confused because why would I want to read a book where everything is good and there is no problem or angst or plot? Humans are complex so characters need to be

It’s to the point where I just don’t talk about shows or books or movies that I like because I can’t be bothered to interact with these people.

I was just talking to my husband about this this morning. We were talking about people who rage about how horrible of a person Scott Pilgrim is.

Likewise, I’ve been in fandom 20+ years and it’s shocking to me the turn it has taken - the whole pro/antiship thing where antis assume liking a ship is a sign of your moral character.

Just because I appreciate a character doesn’t mean I respect or admire them.

It I the same with a lot of week-writren romance novels. I often tell people "Because I know the difference between reality and fiction."

A lot of people lack the will or ability to hold nuance, complexity, and ambivalence. In HS I noticed many of my classmates read for face value and weren't interested in symbolism or character growth.

🫠 folks insist on these online performances of “morality” like… reading [“bad” subject/character] isn’t 1:1 with a reader’s/real person’s morals/beliefs. Policing thought “crimes” is 😵💫

I think a lot of this comes from teen/YA fandom culture-where you DO see a lot of young people ‘defending’ the morality of ‘bad’ characters (Draco Malfoy is a classic example). Because if (cont)

This is why I loved Breaking Bad. Walter is one of THE most interesting, dynamic characters. His spiral into moral corruption is incredible to watch. Love the character, but he’s def not “good” lol

Many people don’t get adequate reading comp education (why are we reading these old offensive books???) and that pairs real goofily with Purity Culture.
