Before i start I meant to thumbs up but my fat fingers hit thumbs down.
I agree, no back story is good enough to erase the damage a character has done. I dont care if you were treat like shit from the beginning of your existance, you out of everyone should know not to treat someone like shit. Especially if the character being given shit didnt do anything but be in the place and breathe. Thats your issue not theres.
Anyway i will comfoet the poor boy but only if the author tries to make the character have some sort of developement.
Manhwa does it too, it sucks, and everyone eats it up because ML is hot
It’s better to have a backstory rather than having none at all and making them one dimensional. You don’t have to sympathize with them but atleast it explains why they are the way they are now. The author is just fleshing out a character
Yeah but I think the problem og comment was talking about is how they are completely forgiven without and repentance other than some puppy faces and intense s3x
They didn’t specify what manga genre they were talking about so I just thought of those demons from demon slayer lol. To what op said, I don’t think it’s a reflection on jp society, people in general are more forgiving towards hot people (like how certain male kpop idols still have stans even when they’ve done heinous shit)
Oh yeah lol. I didn’t even think about anime lololol that’s interesting. I’m agreeing with og comment unless we’re talking about eren AOT, I’m turning blind for him
Eren is a very complex character. I'm talking about badly fleshed out characters who have only done bad shit and the mc just keeps tolerating them or keeps forgiving them no matter the nature of the crime. I think some authors do it just to portray the mc as a saint.
Are we talking about BL? Well then they wouldn’t end up together if the mc doesn’t forgive him and that would just make an unsatisfactory conclusion to the story. Who wants to read a BL where the characters don’t end up together? Of course the author is gonna make mc forgive him
No I'm not talking about bl. Even if it's bl bad characters are just bad characters.
Something I've observed in a lot of manga is that assholes get away with pulling all kinds of shit. The author gives them a backstory and that makes everyone sympathise and erases all the damage that they've caused,No matter how big. Sometimes I wonder if it's a reflection of japanese society expecting people to be like saints without any kind of negative emotions.
