Shen Jiu is an abuser. Shen Jiu abused Luo Binghe and (depending on how you interpret certain parts of the novel) most likely others. He was a profoundly unpleasant person to be around by his own doing, not just some poor misunderstood baby.
Just because he didn’t murder Liu Qingge or sexually abuse NYY doesn’t mean that he was innocent of everything. Especially not his abuse of LBH which is a fundamental part of SVSSS’s story— about cycles of abuse and how someone’s life experiences can shape them in different ways.
Learning about Shen Jiu’s backstory humanizes him. It explains his actions and how he got to where he was.
It does not, and should not excuse him.
Humans can be both abuser and victim. That’s how the cycle of abuse fundamentally works.
I love Shen Jiu. He’s one of my favorite characters of all time. He’s still an abuser.
You can feel sorry for him, but don’t make him innocent. He knew what he was doing. He did it intentionally. He wanted to spite LQG, he wanted to hurt LBH, to destroy his cultivation and even his life.
Shen Jiu is a brilliant portrayal of a truth people are afraid of— that sometimes survivors are not inspirational. Sometimes they’re mean. Sometimes they’re bad people. Sometimes they carry the worst parts of their abusers with them because that was what they feared, and if others feared them then they would have the control they so desperately needed.
Shen Jiu is not a one dimensional villain who is evil for the sake of it. He’s a human character with complex reasons for being the way he is, and a traumatic upbringing he didn’t choose or have any control over.
He’s still an abuser.

SEGA aiming to reach new audiences after announcing five games for classic titles at The Game Awards
SEGA has announced five new video games based on their storied franchises at this year's Game Awards late Thursday night.
With no relation to the sparky tenrec, the publisher described the shocking announcement as a "power surge" - a wave of new games set to re-electrify a suite of classic titles to a new audience.
Five franchises will receive a brand new video game title in the upcoming years: Jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Shinobi, and Crazy Taxi. These games are currently in development.
While long-time SEGA fans celebrate the return of iconic names like Jet Set Radio, the publisher is set to replicate Sonic the Hedgehog's recent successes with the rest of their video game portfolio.
"In recent years, Sonic has forged new paths for SEGA, bringing the franchise to life and reaching new audiences in ways we had only dreamed of in the past," said SEGA co-chief operating officer Shuji Utsumi in a translated official statement.
"Building off that success, we are digging into our legacy and reimagining several franchises to bring these games to more audiences around the globe," Utsumi added. "Today's announcement is just the start of our initiative."
"First and foremost, our ambition will be to create great games with memorable characters and worlds. We hope fans of all ages will look towards our future with anticipation as we release these projects in the coming years."
Details about the newly announced games will be unveiled in the future, with the expectation of more classic franchises to be announced as well.

Despite its portable design, the prohibitive prices of durable alkaline AAs, in tandem with the screen's inability to produce a bright image under the beaming Portuguese sun, caused my experience with the Game Gear to be a primarily indoors one - no less enjoyable because of it.

Goncharov was fine and funny until it became clear that only like a dozen people on this site have ever actually watched a Scorsese movie and of that dozen about three have seen one that wasn’t goodfellas or the departed
