#either they're adults who need hella therapy or they're children and i don't argue with children

Sick of Chloe discourse.

Yes she's an abuser.

Yes she's abused.

Yes her pre-frontal cortex isn't fully developed.

Yes she knows better.

Yes her life is a tragedy.

Yes she's a horrible person I wouldn't want to be around.

All of these things can be true. She can be pitiable and mean. She can be deserving of love and happiness but not be entitled to it from specific individuals.

As someone who suffered from child abuse and bullying, I can understand both sides of people who have only had one or the other, but as an adult I can understand these sides aren't actually conflicting. They just both exist, and they co-exist.

A bully getting redemption doesn't invalidate the pain they caused or absolve them of their transgressions. A person being awful doesn't invalidate their own hardships or make them deserve it. People are complex, characters are complex.

You don't need to specifically want her to have a redemption. You don't need to specifically want her to not have one. But why are we arguing about it to the point where we're trauma dumping and projecting our own insecurities on to random Tumblr users who just happen to disagree? You can discuss a disagreement without all that, and if you're arguing to a point where you're triggering yourself, please just block people for your own mental health.
