JustUWU asked a question

Okay so this is kinda a rant but it always bothered me how in some manhwas with a plot that the mc is the unfavored child blah blah and the favorite child either has no idea, is aware but doesn't say anything, ORR is aware and literally just tries to befriend the mc while simultaneously enjoying the love they receive from the abusive parents- those characters are ALWAYS defended by readers that "they don't know!", "they didn't want to also be a victim so they stayed quiet!", or "They just want everyone to get along."... Now those defence are valid and all, but what irks me is the fact that almost all manhwa with the same plot like that, the favored child will ALWAYSSS come crying when the abusive parents die or something happens. Like okay I get it they are kids.. but idk I just don't understand how can you defend a character like that??? Especially if they have seen the mc get slapped Infront of them, and then later on they be having tea parties with the mom/dad. It's bizarre to me. If it's realistic since it is true that most likely kids will continue to love those kinds of parents since nothing bad has happened to them.. but idk it gives me a bad taste since they go around telling the mc they love them yadayada but then also love the abusive parents. Idk honestly lol I'm just yapping
