#yes he's shitty and a*usive nobody is saying he's not

Liking a slightly-less bad/more liked pokemon character doesn't mean you get to be rude to people who like bad/less-liked pokemon characters

#this isn't directed at anyone btw cuz i know people in that fandom space talk about it #but like bro don't be those guys #thing is those same people like characters like n or volo or silver #'but n was-' n stalked a child/lured them into a secluded area and lied to get them in a small space/was cool with destroying life as known #'but volo didn't-' volo lied to a child because they were useful to his plan and became a trusting figure because of that #he literally tried to rob and kill a child in the most desolate part of hisui after confessing he and giratina opened the rift #also he bothers ingo instantly about his memory loss on first meeting him like bro ask him about his outfit or smthin #'but silver's-' yes silver is a child but also before he grew he was a*usive towards his pokemon and robbed the professor #you can make the same argument for just about every liked character that they did something wrong in the games/manga/show etc #some are mistakes and some are a*usive things but they still get more likeness #literally nobody is washing characters like ghetsis of their background #yes he's shitty and a*usive nobody is saying he's not #same for lusamine or giovanni or whoever #nobody is saying 'they're just my little uwu' and being serious about it #people find charm and even comfort in those characters for different reasons #when someone does that but washes the problems away/uwu-fies them is when it's like ok it's time to stop #but otherwise no it's fine #and also people understand that in prison-arcs or ideas the original point of jail is to rehabilitate #characters like ghetsis receiving therapy is actually good and what a imprisonment system should be doing #punishment and rehab go hand in hand that's the point #and yeah they're not ever gonna be let back into society for the majority but like they're still needing that treatment #'why should they get therapy' so they don't do those shitty things again to the extent they did before #like if the only option is to let a shitty person live then why not give them therapy so they at least say 'damn fine i'll behave a little' #like don't go at people who like complex and shitty characters and just say 'well you have problems' #first of all we know lmao #second of all that's pretty shitty to assume certain things of a stranger because of media critically consumed #like idk maybe they just like this dumb shithead who got roundhouse kicked by a 10 year old #i like ghetsis and i would still pay to see nintendo make a canon animation of him getting bitchslapped #like i'm just saying #rosebud posting 💐
