Art isn’t about teaching you a moral lesson

Paloma Freitas :
Why? Why for they need to be punished? That’s not how life works. Hi, I’m Paloma, and the BFA program is for writers too

Who's got dis 🍉 :
Even recently in theaters we've seen this played out as well. . Clark from the Backrooms, Jax from TADC, and Bear from Obsession. . Not that they're on the same level of evil by ANY means, but their storys end perfectly as a direct result of their actions in ways that feel satisfying and make sense.

Atlas :
Couldn’t agree more! I think one good exception where morally grey/evil characters get absolution is where the fact they “get away with it” is more of the point; there’s more commentary on the system that precipitated them, rather than the evil-ness of the character

Nervous Handshake :
Hundred percent. Caveat: There are times when evil wins. But in those instances they are horror stories and evil is not the protagonist.

Dune is a good example of this too. Paul doesn’t get a happy ending and he explicitly states its a result of the decisions he made.

As you were explaining this, I couldn’t stop thinking about Catra from Shera and the Princess of Power

In theory, sure it’s good for the audience, but this is literally the Hayes code.

I think motivation and impact on others counts a lot here too. Johnny is a doof, a little bit of a bully sometimes, but hes childish, not malicious. Obviously yeah, kids show, but still a big factor i think. Nobody feels threatened by his behavior and he never tries to BE threatening

A bad example of this is Jobless Reincarnation

Phil-Shim :
I have a problem with calling Evan a bad person (and, especially, with calling him evil) insofar as he’s still a child (17) and I don’t think it’s fair or helpful to categorically define children in that way. He makes bad choices, and the narrative doesn’t necessarily punish him for it. But, a narrative that had him face consequences as if he were an adult making the same choices would also be morally questionable

I disagree with Barney Stinson. Yes he never has a real moment when it all catches up to him but he’s forced to live the rest of his life single while the love of his life is with his best friend (in one version, either way he doesn’t get her).

alfredo Sawsy :
My question is why? People get away with terrible things all the time. Obviously there is room for good and bad consequences for a character. But art is based on reality, and reality isn’t always on the side of justice or whatever.

The Blerd Bard :
The few times he gets the girl it does not last. Ultimately he does not get the girl, and I think there's a recurring nerd character that frequently does, to add insult to injury. and Johnny Bravo is always presented as a buffoon. That's why it works.
