Do you realize that mental illness is not an excuse for harming people? The criticisms are justified because Heonjae kidnapped and murdered someone and has and harmed other prisoners. People that suffer from mental illness are often victims of abuse. So far we've seen that Heonjae was neglected and possibly abused as a child and that is not his fault but as an adult he is responsible for seeking help and controlling whatever fucked up urges he has. You're asking if any of us have heard of untreated mental illness, but have you heard that mental illness is not an excuse for kidnapping, murdering, and torturing other people?
Okay I will but even so Heonjae doesn't do anything without Minji orders. So if he did all that under Minji orders wouldn't that make Minji the one that's really evil. To not only bring harm against others but to use your brother also. & I don't remember it saying him cutting people open for a sexual kink. I know it said something about cutting him. but even he did say that he didn't act on it. Plus you'll be amazed out how that kink is fairly common. Many enjoy knife and blood play. But different strokes for different folks.
If someone tells you to rape someone and you actually go out and rape someone then you are just as evil as the person that told you to commit that act. We don't know exactly what happened with that kidnap and murder case but even if Jingi was involved and told Heonjae to murder someone then Heonjae is just as evil as Jingi. You may argue that Jingi is more evil but the fact that Heonjae still went through with it is just as evil, so you saying that Heonjae gets all that backlash and hasn't done anything wrong is wild.
I said literally nothing to excuse their behavior, so dont put words in my mouth. They're both fucked up but people acting like Minji didn't rape dozens of the inmates, killing or pushing them to kill themselves and dog piling on Heonjae like he's really mentally sound? Just feels fucked up to take sides for either one, especially one is of sound mind and the other is not and is being manipulated.
I feel like Heonjae is getting such bad backlash? He's got some mental health issues and hasn't had anyone genuinely try and help him. It's like no one here has ever heard of untreated mental illness?
My boy is fucked up but not irreversibly.
