There are some really out of place things a character has done maybe once or twice that are obviously OOC, and written by either someone who does not understand that character, or because the directors at DC central wanted a specific outcome and did not care about the process.
Bruce hitting Dick is not one of them. It is not character breaking or lore breaking or anything breaking, it's been happening since the 40s, it's in fact so consistent it kept happening even in the Silver Age which everyone considers all fun and games and nothing serious ever happened, it is not out of character.
I'm sorry it breaks the illusion that Bruce is a Tired Good Dad UwU but please get a grip and stop pretending you understand this character because by saying that Bruce would never hit his kids you have clearly not one idea what you're talking about.

There is more nuance to this discussion. Section 230 has shaped the social media platforms today and I think in acknowledging the good it has done, people overlook or ignore the bad. It should not be repealed but there do need to be amendments to it because currently Section 230 is what lets these platforms get away with awful content moderation policies and practices. I know everyone likes to make fun of old people who get sucked into qanon and it's easy to criticize kids who get radicalized but maybe we need to fix these issues instead of overlooking them and being like welp couldn't be me. Misinformation and extremist (broad definition ik but this reply is already too long lmao) content needs to be removed from these platforms much more efficiently and currently there's no incentive for these companies to do that (their business models rely on engagement and as long as they're getting that they don't give af because they aren't liable for anything).
Hey remember when Tumblr banned porn and everyone fled to Twitter and the internet by and large became that much more insufferable? Yeah well, we’re about to get the sequel no one’s been waiting for
Tumblr media
A recent lawsuit is calling into question the very law that makes user-generated content possible on the internet and it’s going before a bunch of old people who have no idea how the internet works. If Section 230 gets repealed or modified, the internet as we know it will radically change forever. Content policing will be that much worse; and either the guidelines will be so restrictive it’ll squeeze the life out of their sites, or sites will close their doors all together by not being able to meet the moderation demand and not wanting to risk being liable. 
Unlike SOPA way back in the day, this one is quietly flying under everyone’s radar so there’s no big pushback like last time, so there is a very real possibility this goes down in the worst way possible. So Yeah Ya’ll may want to start saving your favorite content if you feel it’s going to go bye-bye

There's a fic I've been (slowly) working on that features Kirk being just about the Only person on the ship who can read Spock's expressions, simply because he Likes Spock (not even romantically at first, he just sees Spock and goes, 'friend-shaped <3'.) and therefore pays attention, where he winds up being like. a Spock-interpreter for everyone else. (Captain, is he mad at me?? Captain, are my questions annoying him? Captain, did he like my joke? Captain, I feel like Spock hates me. etc.)
and the reason I bring this up is because I think there's a lot of potential in a Different version of this, where Kirk is still the only one who can read Spock's emotions, but this time, it's because they managed to spontaneously bond like. immediately. and neither of them realize this for a good while, because what are the odds that you're So Compatible with someone that your minds just Instantly glue themselves together? They're astronomical, that's what they are.
Except, a year or three into the mission, Spock discovers the bond. and panics. and blocks it. Of course he does! It's an egregious breach of telepathic etiquette! (Or, it would be, if he'd done it on purpose.) He has No Idea how long it's been there - he assumes it must be new. And, once the bond is blocked, by a Spock who is absolutely swamped with shame that he could let that happen to his own captain and dear friend, Kirk suddenly. cannot read Spock's emotions. And then he panics, because ohmigod i can't read him is he mad at me what did i do does he hate me???? (everyone else on this ship is baffled. they're like 'his face has literally not changed?? what do you mean you can't read him now??)
and eventually, they figure out what happened, and that they love each other, and then restore the bond to its original state and kiss and what not. but they angst about it for a bit first, and possibly have to get their heads slammed together by bones before that happens.

the text of the novel does not support any of this, but it specifically does not support jin guangyao grooming anyone. I'm going to get to that later because even speculating that he 'is not above' that made me feel some kind of way, but I'm not going to start there. I'm going to start at the beginning.
Tumblr media
this is wrong. mo xuanyu's reputation for being a lunatic doesn't develop until after he's left jinlintai, and the mo family are the source of these rumours. prior to leaving mo manor at age 14, there is no indication whatsoever of his mental state. whatever he was like, however, the text makes it clear that he changed dramatically upon returning to mo manor.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is from chapter 1. pre-jinlintai, mo xuanyu's fortunes were as in flux as his mother's, yes, but what kind of person was he? what was his personality like? we don't know, because after this chapter, mo xuanyu does not have a voice in the story anymore. that makes it all the more significant and crucial and essential, imo, to listen to what he says about himself in his own words. and this is what mo xuanyu says: he confesses in his own handwriting to sexually harassing a fellow disciple, which resulted in him being kicked out of jinlintai.
Tumblr media
OP, this logic only holds if we know for sure that the harassment happened in private, and the novel does not say one way or the other. if this harassment happened in public with witnesses, then there is very little that a master spin artist (which I do not believe jin guangyao actually is) could do about it. the text does not tell us anything about the circumstances of this harassment, only that it occurred, and that lots of other people know about it. that means it is entirely plausible that the harassment occurred in such a way that either pretending it did not happen, or preventing the rumour mill from doing what it does best, just were not options. which does, tragically, mean that jin guangyao likely was highly triggered by this experience for the reasons you mention!
Tumblr media
...yeah, everyone knows that it happened, including the maid who is serving wei wuxian during their jinlintai visit:
Tumblr media
maybe everyone, including the staff who do not mingle socially with the gentry, know about this because they saw it happen. there's nothing in the text that asserts this incident occurred in private. I'm kicking this horse's fierce corpse over and over again just to drill home the point that jin guangyao does not have to be the source of these rumours.
okay, now I'm going to talk about the stuff that really upset me about your post:
Tumblr media
good!! I am glad we are in agreement that /gestures @ this, all of that makes no sense, because it doesn't. so why, why, why say any of this:
Tumblr media
stop. ✋ we are going to stop the car right here because when you make an assertion like this, that you don't "think jgy is necessarily above that kind of creepy grooming behaviour," this is the kind of assertion that you need to back up with evidence from the text. so where is it? the onus is on you to show the excerpts from the novel that lead you to feel like this is something jin guangyao is capable of. if you can't, then why are you stating that he could be capable of this? what is compelling you to Go There with this specific character, if you can't present evidence to support the claim from the text?
/exhale, okay. moving on.
Tumblr media
this is absolutely the kind of story where that would be true, because this is also the kind of story where a man who grew up the impoverished son of a sex worker, who saw firsthand what the life of a sex worker was like (see wwx's empathy flashback of little meng yao throwing himself between meng shi and a john who is abusing her), who loves and respects and works doggedly to remain filial to her even after her death, nevertheless turns around and forces a bunch of sex workers to literally rape his father to death. mxtx will absolutely write characters who are victims of circumstance who still turn around and do bad things.
Tumblr media
mo xuanyu said he sexually harassed a disciple, in one of the only opportunities he gets in the novel to actually express himself in his own words. you do raise an interesting point further down that I think is worth exploring, but I also think it is extremely important that we not just... disregard mo xuanyu's ownership over his actions. he believes he did this.
you haven't demonstrated jin guangyao did anything to mo xuanyu's credibility because you haven't provided anything grounded in the text. everything so far has been speculation, and much of that speculation is grounded in an inaccurate read of when mo xuanyu's reputation for lunacy begins.
how has jin guangyao demonstrated an MO for willingly associating himself with scandal, ever? he goes to great lengths to cover up any sign of his involvement with anything that could potentially make him for the jin sect look bad especially after he becomes chief cultivator. somewhat infamously, and I'm paraphrasing here, he tells xue yang in the villainous friends extra that he's free to wreck as many shopping stalls in lanling city as he likes, but he'd better not do it while wearing the jin sect colours. his MO is the opposite of courting scandal.
Tumblr media
again, from chapter 1 as wei wuxian is making his way through the written notes that mo xuanyu left behind. there is no reason for jin guangyao to fabricate any rumours about mo xuanyu's mental state, because mo xuanyu's mental state is patently obvious to his entire family.
so now we're getting to the questions you pose near the end of your post and I honestly just... think the most straight-forward answer is the obvious one.
Tumblr media
idk, maybe because jin guangyao didn't deliberately ruin mo xuanyu's life, and mo xuanyu knows it?
So like, I'm pretty darn sure Mo Xuanyu did not actually make a pass at Jin Guangyao.
For several reasons, like for one thing hitting on your own actual brother who is also your boss is genuinely insane behavior, in a way nothing else we know about the guy actually matches, other than his reputation for being crazy which mostly seems to originate from the same point as the sexual harassment allegations. which tracks because even with rampant societal homophobia, that's such a crazy thing to do people would question it if it didn't come paired with the information that he's insane.
Then there's the fact that if that had actually happened, there's basically no way master spin artist jgy would have let it get out, because actually experiencing that would trigger his sense-of-uncleanliness issues so hard.
But what we see is that somehow Everyone Knows that it happened, but also that Jin Guangyao totally didn't tell anyone, because he's too merciful and kind and respectable. It just mysteriously leaked somehow that this private scandal happened.
(Also, to step up a meta level, the gay goth kid who was never quite accepted into his own family and wound up self-destructing was in fact guilty of the homophobic allegations spread by the powerful man who manipulates reputation for personal advantage? This is not the kind of story where that would be true. The thematic dissonance is too much.)
The only way it's believable that mxy made a move on jgy is if jgy spent a long time maneuvering him into it, hinting and deniably flirting and just generally being maximum skeeze, just a huge elaborate incestuous honeypot, just to bait a 'ruined reputation' trap. Which makes no sense at all.
I don't think jgy is necessarily above that kind of creepy grooming behavior but I do think he would hate it, and definitely wouldn't resort to it when sowing rumors would work just as well. and expose him to less risk.
So Mo Xuanyu didn't do it.
So what we've got is that Jin Guangyao systematically obliterated this kid's credibility.
No one would listen to anything he said after being expelled in that sort of context, especially anything against Jin Guangyao, whom he now has obvious motive to smear. This was a preemptive strike against some kind of leak.
It's exactly the kind of thing jgy would do--it targets individual vulnerability, leverages the weak points in Mo Xuanyu's reputation into gaping chasms, in a way that associates jgy with scandal but makes him personally look better. also shows signs of jgy projecting his own issues onto others. The MO fits.
And his motive is easy to construct: Mo Xuanyu had had access to his secrets, such as Wei Wuxian's manuscripts and probably a lot of the other ugly shit. And Jin Guangyao needed him silenced, due to some thing or other, but as with SiSi didn't want to have to kill him.
(A fascinating thing about jgy as a villain is the moments where he yields to sentiment pretty consistently contribute to his destruction.)
But then we come around to: so why didn't Mo Xuanyu sic Wei Wuxian on Jin Guangyao, then?
In cql wwx does have a curse cut for jgy, to keep him in the plot and create an additional open storyline to resolve, since viewers are gonna be denied romantic catharsis, but in cql the homophobia plotline isn't there because all the gay is censored, and mxy allegedly hit on qin su instead. which is less utterly unhinged to do though still big wtf.
In the book, mxy summoned the Yiling Patriarch just to kill the Mos. (Which he didn't even do lmao.)
So I've always been sort of poking at that, like if you're destroying your own soul to get revenge, why spare the person who deliberately ruined your life?
Even if he had done the thing, it was weird! Maybe even weirder; if you're in a headspace where making sexual advances anyone should be able to predict are unwelcome seems like a good idea in the first place, there's a pretty good chance getting punished for them isn't going to make you think you were in the wrong. Otoh there is a zone where he could have done it, gotten the backlash, cleared his head a bit, realized it was fucked up to do, and therefore not held a grudge in that particular direction, but it's still weird. (And also he definitely didn't do the thing.)
But if he was so angry, why was he not angry at Jin Guangyao? Who definitely kicked him out of the Sect, all else aside?
And then I looked at the passage in Jin sect where we swap to Jin Ling's pov and he tells us one of the few first-hand things we hear about Mo Xuanyu: He thought Jin Guanyao was the most amazing person in the whole world. He adored him.
And being betrayed and rejected by him didn't turn that into resentment. Even though he resented the other side of his family enough to want them gratuitously murdered.
So you know what I think happened?
I think Mo Xuanyu thinks it was an honest misunderstanding. That Jin Guangyao, his idol, falsely concluded that his gay little brother was creeping on him based on a misinterpretation of his admiring behavior, and was appropriately revolted. And that Mo Xuanyu doesn't blame him for it. He blames himself.
He went back to his mother's family to rot genuinely feeling like the ruination of his life was his own fault for being creepy. And died like that.
Because of that, to a considerable extent. How can you bend any of your will to saving yourself, to getting out of an abusive situation and seeking a better one, when you don't think you deserve to be saved?
Fucks me up.
