am i crazy for feeling empathy for rashta? like she was a kunt but she literally went thro...

Yes, you are crazy

She could choose to be better...but no.

You're not alone. See, let's imagine if we reframe the narrative around Rashta. Rather than vilifying her, acknowledge the tragic circumstances that shaped her actions. As a slave girl exploited, manipulated, and scapegoated by those in power, Rashta's experiences should evoke empathy, not condemnation. Her youth – just 17 at the end of her life – underscores the heartbreaking reality that she was forced to navigate a treacherous adult world (everyone else is around 30 years old and also educated, while she didn't even know how to read at the start), she was robbed of her childhood and agency. We should pity Rashta, not blame her. When it came to power dynamics, the adults here were the irresponsible ones, also the Empress should have known better than to blame a CHILD, a slave child since 9 years old thanks to HER SLAVE POLICIES that allows children to become slaves for their parents faults.

Let's examine the circumstances surrounding Rashta's actions. It's crucial to acknowledge that Rashta was an uneducated slave, subjected to exploitation and abuse by those in power. As an enslaved child, she was denied agency, autonomy, and basic human rights. The power dynamics at play were starkly unfair, with Rashta at the mercy of her oppressors.
Given this context, it's essential to recognize that Rashta's choices were severely limited. She was forced to navigate a world where her body and actions were controlled by others. The "bad stuff" she chose to do was, in many cases, a survival strategy – a desperate attempt to exert some control over her circumstances.
It's also important to acknowledge the class dynamics at play. Rashta's enslavement and exploitation were direct results of her socio-economic status. Those in power, who abused and manipulated her, were products of a system that perpetuated inequality and oppression.
In this light, Rashta's actions can be seen as a response to the systemic injustices she faced. Rather than condemning her, we should critique the power structures that enabled her exploitation and abuse. By doing so, we can work towards a more nuanced understanding of Rashta's experiences and the broader social context in which she lived.

Yeah, totally irrational to feel empathy for a child who was exploited, molested, and enslaved. I mean, who needs compassion when you have powerful adults who enabled and profited from her suffering? Let's definitely prioritize their feelings and justify their actions. That sounds like a totally healthy and not-at-all-problematic approach.

This is just a fantasy story. And no I don't feel compassion for that character. I don't care if she was an abused child. She did all she did being an adult...so no. I don't care. And I think she is well being dead af like she is..and I love the way she died too. The story really did justice ╮(￣▽￣)╭

@Ohmarwin Why you have your replies turned off? BTW to answer your last comment,
I strongly disagree with you. Fantasy stories shape our perceptions and empathy, and by rooting for the royals and celebrating Rashta's demise, we're condoning a narrative that justifies slavery, exploitation, and silencing marginalized voices. Rashta's backstory would typically evoke sympathy, but the narrative cleverly shifts focus away from systemic injustices. This story desensitizes us to marginalized struggles and perpetuates harmful attitudes. If Rashta's story were presented differently, we'd likely root for her as a complex character fighting oppression. Instead, we're encouraged to applaud her demise, reinforcing a dangerous dynamic where the powerful are justified and the marginalized are blamed.

I think your perspective grossly underestimates the vile decisions she made when she DID have a choice. She was innocent when she entered the palace, even navier didn't blame her, as shovishit was the only one at fault. But she continued to ignore everyone who ever gave her good advice, and prioritised her desires to be empress over her own safety. She could have been a comfortable mistress, who eventually made a name for herself and possibly leave the palace and that nightmare of a man behind. But instead she tortured maids, ordered for people to be killed, abused animals and meticulously stole for her benefit. She had a victim complex which you can argue she has the right to, but humans have to be responsible for their actions regardless of the motive. She is pitiable and I was quite sad at her death, but it was justified. Her inferiority complex cost her life. What I am most disappointed in is that it's seems like the perpetrator for all this is sort of costing by. If he really doesn't die by the end of this I think it would be a horrible ending to the story.
