do you ever see a take so bad and shocking you just kinda stare at it in disgust for a little before blocking and moving on
#going into a certain character’s tag to just be faced with the worst take possible and imaginable#and it’s the same shit over and over again all the time#which genuinely sucks because#okay it was about mary linton#im not gonna dance around it#mary is such a well written character#and she gets shit from fans who think she should have either been permissive or more forgiving of arthur’s life#not his PAST life#his CURRENT life#and as far as she is aware - his life in the future#arthur’s self loathing and self pity get a pass while mary’s own disappointment with herself is seen as wrong#the reason why their relationship is so compelling is because they are so alike#she sacrificed her happiness to take care of her family#and then when she realized her father didn’t care for her enough to do the same she finally said enough is enough#at this point in the story arthur is still following dutch#and yes it’s to take care of john and others#people criticize mary - a woman in 1899 - who has way less opportunity for self determination#more than they criticize arthur#people understand that he was groomed#and excuse his actions#but mary - who we can assume because of her character choices - was also raised to be nothing but a daughter and wife#and people get upset with her that she didn’t choose to be with arthur??#and people constantly compare her to other female characters only in relation to arthur#‘well eliza-‘ eliza also chose to not be with the gang 🙂↕️🙂↕️#‘well [other female character who had a positive interaction with arthur]-‘ only got to see him one that ONE context#‘well the camp girls-‘ joined the gang because they didn’t have other choices as woman in the late 1800’s#it just rubs me the wrong way that when mary laments and changes it’s ‘annoying’ but when arthur bemoans it’s beautiful and tragic#mary linton#is such a charming and compelling and frustrating character and it sucks she gets so much shit for being reasonable#rdr2
