There is something really wrong with you if you are really defending his actions, being fictional or real it's not the point.
From a fictional analysis point of view he's not an especially well-rounded character though. Flat and boring with two personality traits, he's a mooch and he's attracted to minors. That's it, two negative traits. I'm guessing the plot right now is gonna be used for some of his character development, but I don't see him getting a lot more interesting anyway.
There are a lot of really well queen fictional villains I definitely prefer over him, simply because they aren't flat characters, they have understandable and maybe even agreeable motivations and they are interesting.
What I discussed before is some people in the comments argued that he's not actually doing anything wrong (assuming he didn't send the picture to the middle schooler), which I take major issue with. He obviously is doing something wrong, which is also reflected in his boring and unlikable personality.
It is the point. Don't tell me, there is no true villain on your favorite list? If so, then okay, then you are the most morally good person in the world.
Please don't say something is wrong with me because I can tell apart whats fiction and whats real. Of course I wouldn't like him as a real person. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
That's a point I understand. When you think that he is uninteresting and flat, well that's how you see it.
I think that he has potential and I don't think he is flat, that's where opinions part, but that's totally okay.
But people hate him because they treat him like a felon and that's why I compared him with other villains (who maybe too were flat or are flat, like Freeza - I mean, he is just pure evil and they still sell merchandise of him).
And yes, saying that he didn't do anything wrong is wrong too.
SAY IT FCKING LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE AT THE BACK
Oh wait u used a microphone YES BITCH U SAID IT
The story is set in the real world with characters that act like teenagers and have teenager problems. It's supposed to be realistic so of course people will judge the characters in a way they would judge real people. Unlike Loki, Hisoka, Freeza who are all unrealistic characters in an unrealistic story.
That's the reason why some people want to see him in jail and it's neither unusual nor unreasonable to do this.
If you want to analyze the character then do it and see what happens. Judging by the people who already did that you probably won't encounter that much hate.
same. i usually like villains or really cruel characters. people generally hate them. it’s just fiction. obviously we wouldn’t like them irl.
You're wrong. A pedophile has a fetish for minor. He is a pedophile. (Which he can't control)
But he's not a rapist. (Which he can control)
Get it?
By definiton:
A pedophile has a sexual attraction to prepubescent children. Although girls typically begin the process of puberty at age 10 or 11, and boys at age 11 or 12, criteria for pedophilia extend the cut-off point for prepubescence to age 13.
His type is 16-19 years old. That doesn't make it better, 'pedophile' is just the wrong term. So yes, I got it - by gathering information. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
There are still so many people who call him 'pedo'... Please guys, it's not a term you show your anger with. You can sure hate him as much as you want, but even if he is a pervers stupid fool (what he definitely is), I won't put him on a level who suffer from this illness, or felons, rapists and children abusers. That's, by definiton not right, and (from what I think) not fair. I feel sorry for him, because he needs psychological help and has to account for the past. He needs to stop dating young men, that's sure. And I won't say that what he did is morally acceptable, because it's clearly not. But I don't see him as hopeless. There are so many signs that he has deep down a good soul, but because it's too 'realistic' , he is treated worse than real fictional villains?
I spend too much energy in finding my answer to this question, because I just can't understand the hate. And I found many good replies and really interesting discussions.
But seeing so much hate again, I just stop here.
There a two parts, one that tries to see more of his character and one that think too realistic and just want to see him in jail. At some point it's not fun to discuss anymore.
So as my last comment here: I like the blonde (as a character) and I will like him the same way I like Loki, Hisoka, Freeza and every other beloved FICTIONAL person. And some of them are so worse.
