Like You Can Dislike A Trope But Being Mean About It Isn't Necessary? - Blog Posts

I get it, we all have our preferences in the types of fiction we consume and the arcs we enjoy watching.

But the hate I'm seeing lately for characters who are genuinely kind, or characters who chose to redeem themselves is ridiculous, and people need to chill about it.

Some of us actually like seeing characters choosing good, compassion, and light. Some of us are actually comforted and reassured when we see fictional characters who had seemingly fallen too deep but still find a way out and discover true peace. Sometimes it's nice seeing characters who remain genuinely good despite going through immense pain and unfairness (they still have the right to feel things and work on their trauma of course, but when they actually manage to not become a villain because of it... I like that, I actually do like seeing that)

There's nothing wrong with stories about hope.

If you prefer to see characters become evil, destroy things, and making others suffer, good for you, and you enjoy that. But let those of us who like goodness in our stories enjoy it, and maybe diss on it a little less?

There are more than enough damnation arcs in real life and sometimes we need a break from that.
