#but i also dont want to associate with someone who will defend jiang cheng

[mdzs-is-rotting-my-brain]

I keep seeing this trend with JC and YZY, JGY XY and even SMS. The excuses for their behavior, justifying that they had "the right" to do as they wanted because "the world" hurt them so.

They conveniently forget that "the world" also hurt WWX. The boy spent five years on the streets eating scraps, fighting dogs, and surviving until he was found by JFM and brought back to Lotus Pier. None of the other characters they defend went through anything as harsh, and only to find his new home filled with bitter recriminations, violence, abuse, and slander of both his parents. Parents who he does not know and is not allowed to have memorial tablets of them.

(I feel like if he had memorial tablets of them MXTX would have been sure to mention it. I also find it funny that they always try to soften WWX's trauma to make JC's, XY's, or JGY's trauma worse.)

The only one that can be argued went through something similar was Xue Yang, and it's been awhile since I read the book, but I don't believe he was living on the streets so much as he was just poor.

@the-0th3r-side got it right.

It's their pride.

They cannot, and will not accept that WWX, who has suffered the worst the world has to offer from childhood to first death, is better than them. More forgiving than them. Able to let the past go.

They hold on to their pride with the strength of their justification and so-called righteousness and it brings slaughter to Lotus Pier, the loss of JC's core (I don't want to downplay the boys sacrifice. But what did he think was going to happen?) The deaths of Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli, Nie Mingjue, and so many others.

YZY's pride prevented her from making preparations, for war despite it being obvious.

(I mean two of the four sects had been attacked and she thought they would just ignore Lotus Pier?)

just like JC's pride prevented from taking in the Wens.

JGY's hurt pride let him manslaughter, and manipulate his way right into a position where he could, and did, abuse the power that came with it.

This is why JC's pride is torn from him by

best boy Wen Ning. Who tells him without the man he let die, the man he help lead a siege against those WWX was protecting, JC would be nothing. He did not rebuild his sect with his power. He is not great. He is not a hero.

MXTX tells us very clearly what happens when your pride becomes entitlement and arrogance and all the different ways that can end.

It's just people either lack reading comprehension, or they're drunk with moldy wine that they can't see the abuse through the defense of their trash king.

My friend: so how’s the mdzs fandom

The fandom:

About as pleasant as gazing upon the elephants foot [Chernobyl]

Lmao she lapped up WLJ’s orders and whipped the shit out of WWX. She was chill sacrificing WWX’s hand but she didn’t feel like sacrificing her own pride answering to WLJ in the supervisory office so she sacrificed the whole sect instead hmm… so brave. much leader 🙃🌝🤡 pour one out for WLJ for not knowing to keep her mouth shut a few more seconds.
