this is why i didn't like the second couple to begin with

this is why i didn't like the second couple to begin with, first being homophobic and now this?! who are you to stomp on somebody elses trauma?? characters like him are the reason we have this toxic mindset on "character development", we basically think that anybody could do anything, LITERALLY ANY HORRIBLE THING, and say 'oh its okay he's gonna change'. wHat??!! seriously?? People should start analyzing their own morals before excusing them just cause "they had a past" or a mental illness. Honey, just cause they had trauma, or they had this certain mindset before doesn't justify that what they did was okay, it not okay and it will never be okay. Now we can be emphatic and acknowledge what he's gone through, his feeling are indeed valid at the end of the day, but if you defend him one more time by saying "that's how his character was just written" or "don't worry he'll change" then you're clearly problematic. Remember that Andy wasn't the victim here, and instead of siding with the real victim you chose to make excuses for the perpetrator.
