This would make sense if there were even remote signs of him becoming a better person over time, but so far he simply has not. He’s still extremely self-centered, and intentionally distresses Skyler despite Skyler recovering from his past. And i’m not sure why everyone in this comment thread is acting like 7 years old isn’t WAY beyond old enough to understand basic empathy and know to not abuse animals, especially due to the fact that before then (the death) he had evidently grown up in a loving home. The father absolutely did let Cirrus grieve (ex: Cirrus screaming for his mom literally all the time and blaming his father for it, actively mistreating his father at his grown ass age) but eventually couldn’t take it anymore. Not saying him covering Cirrus’ mouth was right, but it’s not like the father thought he could openly grieve while cirrus couldn’t.
Also, I personally wouldn’t use the excuse of not liking someone to literally sexually harass them as a MINOR, but that’s just me apparently
When Cirrus attempts to apologize to his father (conveniently when he feels like going to his room because he’s scared), he focuses on his most recent tantrum (where he screams that he HATES his father and demands he bring his dead lover back?? At his grown age??)
His father lets him openly grieve and even blame him for a long time, and tries to keep his own grief behind closed doors (only crying when cirrus can’t see him clearly or once when he reached his breaking point.) The treated Cirrus with particular tolerance.
Cute try, but I was neglected as a child by both parents medically and emotionally, grew up with unattended to neurological disorders and was bullied all through my developmental years for disabilities, and never once did I abuse animals or behave the way Cirrus did at his (WAY old enough to know better) age of 7. It’s called having bare-minimum empathy and decency
Cirrus was never expected to act like an adult by his father, and his father actively stated that they would ‘get through this together.’ Cirrus’ father allowed cirrus to blame him for his own lover’s death while he himself was grieving, and made an obvious effort to keep his own depression and panic under wraps by crying when cirrus can’t see him. Obviously he had a breaking point and lashed out, which is wrong, but cirrus was obviously being cruel.
well that's good that u grew up to be a normal person but take in mind that not everyone lives through traumatic experiences the same. u keep on saying how he abuses animals but we literally explained to u why he behaved the way he did when he was 7. did u forget how he literally has a dog which he treats like she's the most important thing in the world for him? he cares for her A LOT.
cirrus was 7, his dad was a grown ass adult. i don't know if u forgot but cirrus was also grieving, he just lost her mother HOW THE FUCK do u expect a 7 years old to behave after something like this. he won't behave like an adult. u should understand that kids saying that they hate their parents is a common thing and it shouldn't really be taken seriously. they react this way when parents tell them that they can't do something that they want or when they take their fav toy for example. they don't know what they're saying BECAUSE THEY'RE KIDS AND CIRRUS WAS A KID TOO FOR FUCKS SAKE. his dad was supposed to be strong figure in his life, he was supposed to take care of his son and be there for him. yet gave up after a very short of time and completely neglected him. kids fight with their parents all the time because they're not yet fully aware of what they're doing but its not a reason for their parents to wish they were death for this, completely neglect them and abuse them. why do u blame cirrus for ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, u completely don't understand his character and how much of a scar his childhool left on him. it's a good think u grew up to be a normal person even with trauma but as i said, not everyone will do the same. u literally have no empathy. with the way u blame cirrus for everything I wouldn't be surprised if u also blamed him for getting SA'd by his teacher huh? which he couldn't tell anyone abt because, guess what, HE WAS NEGLECTED BY EVERYONE, HE COULDN'T TELL ANYONE. he had to live with this alone for 10 YEARS
I’d expect a 7-year old (old enough to be intelligent and empathetic and sensible enough) to NOT blame their remaining grieving parent for their lover’s death. I’d also expect a 7-year old to not mistreat animals, because at that age they absolutely know better. His father DID try to be there for him (ex: we’ll get through this together, comforting him despite his own grief and hiding his own distress until his breaking point). I don’t blame cirrus for absolutely everything, just saying he’s not a good person and never has been for the entirety of this series. Not saying cirrus deserved literally anything that happened to him that made him even worse, but yeesh.
Also, very typical for you to jump to the crazy assumption that I think he deserved SA, when one of the reasons cirrus himself is a dislikable character is the fact he sexually harasses MULTIPLE people. Maybe put your thinking cap for once and stop making up random false-emotional shit instead of defending his shit, disgusting behavior? ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
WHY do people like Cirrus, I cannot even wrap my head around it. ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
