True but if you think about it, he didn't really solve anything by being a punching bag. They still went after other people in their free time anyway. If you don't solve the root of the problem then the problem never gets solved, only ignored and delayed more than it should have ever been. Which only condones their behavior even more while uplifting their massive ego because of how much they are able to get away with (however I agree with the killing part) even tho they deserved it but that's just me. I'd also be sceptical if I were him tho because
Damn the emoji isn't supported on here
By sacrificing himself, Haruki did manage to reduce the number of victims significantly. It’s unrealistic to expect him to stop the bullies entirely when he obviously couldn’t fight back or fix a systemic issue alone. Haruki’s mentality was never about ‘fixing’ the bullies or the root problem, his actions don’t condone the bullies’ behavior. He never supported or justified what they were doing. But in his mind, taking the hits himself was the lesser evil. He knew he couldn’t fight back, so he became the shield to keep others from being hurt. For him, it probably felt like the only thing he could control and while it’s not perfect, it’s far better than just standing by and watching the situation get worse
Yes, I'm not saying he was necessarily in the wrong. The system is to blame, but he did in fact not lessen the victims completely as it was impossible for him to be around 24/7. He focused more on a temporarily resolve rather than fixing the main issue.
also yes, in a way he did condone their actions because he showed them what they were able to get away with without any consequences to their actions, which only enabled them to do more. It isn't his fault, he is the victim, but if he wanted to lessen the victims there was better options logically
In case you don't understand what condone means: to accept and allow (behavior that is considered morally wrong or offensive) to continue
Even if that behavior was directed towards himself
I get his logic tho, again not blaming him. It was the failed system
So some people actually don’t like pookie bear haruki because *read note* he is a normal human being with human feelings such as empathy.
This is some of y’all when someone don’t let other get bullied and also don’t fuck with killing people
