So I Finally Watched SentiBubbler

I would like to say the only reason I watched SentiBubbler is I was extremely out of the loop when people would complain about the whole Chat Noir thing and I had no business talking about it if I didn’t see it. I would also like to add that as of now I have only seen the episodes Truth, Lies, Furious Fu (or Monster Fu or whatever), and SentiBubbler of season 4. I have gotten bits and pieces from the fandom of the basics like the big thing with Alya and the hinting at Chat Noir’s sudden push to the side and so forth. That’s it. So I may still be lacking context. But I have to be honest. I am on no side of this argument and on both sides. Let me explain. I found it a bit childish the way Chat spoke and acted after hearing what Rena had to say. Not that I condemn him for it. Sometimes we just feel like being a little childish especially when we have been hurt over and over again. Being childish just means being immature (and/or being overly silly) and the reaction, I found, was immature but understandable. I can’t figure out why this even needs to be an argument. I don’t get why this even needs to be a big deal.  Let me speak from my POV as someone who can similarly react to Chat Noir when bottling things up. (Grant it, I never really destroyed anything besides maybe tearing some paper and throwing things while considering if they were light or if they would land on a flat surface and not hurt anything or anyone). It’s childish to me.  I may have perfectly valid reasons for being upset over tiny things that in the end, won’t matter. I would like to clarify half the time I have no idea I’m that upset instead someone tells me. Or if I do realize it I don’t know why I’m upset. People have to provide me reasons as to why I might be upset because I can’t figure it out because I say, “I just don’t know what happened. I don’t feel that stressed. I like what I’m doing. I don’t feel anxious. I just got angry out of no where. I don’t understand.” But regardless whether I’m suffering or not that doesn’t make what I do/did okay. It doesn’t mean it’s a mature reaction. It doesn’t mean I am in the right. Whether I was hurt or not. However, I also recognize (thanks to friendly help which Adrien unfortunately does not have) that what I’m feeling may be just as silly as I think it is but that doesn’t matter because I’m feeling it and I’m having those reactions. Right now they are a big deal even if I think they shouldn’t be. And what I need to do is figure out why. Why is it such a big deal now? And then... I need to take care of myself and find ways to handle myself appropriately when I get that way or nip it in the butt as soon as I recognize it’s coming. I recognize that I have people to tell me what I’m doing isn’t okay and to help me through the emotions that led to it so I don’t make the mistake again. Adrien doesn’t have that. Adrien is responsible for recognizing when he does these things and finding someone to talk to but if he doesn’t know how and no one bothers to help him... Well then... It isn’t entirely his fault, is it?

No, the chimney didn’t deserve it but neither did Chat. Chat is responsible for his own impulsive actions but that doesn’t mean he’s an awful human being every time he has a negative reaction. It doesn’t mean that what he feels isn’t there and that it doesn’t matter. Because it does matter. It’s a big deal to him. And he needs someone to help him figure out why so another chimney doesn’t have to take the fall. 

Chat needs help recognizing he can’t deal with what he’s feeling on his own and he shouldn’t have to. It’s not something that will just sort itself out on its own. That’s not how emotions or trauma works. This was basically a very longwinded way of saying; Chat has immature reactions to things that may seem silly to some others but is a big deal to him. He needs help figuring it out and taking control. He needs help recognizing when he gets that way and how to handle it. Basically, I don’t get why this is even an argument. He’s a child that will make some brash choices because he’s suffering and fails to properly take care of it because he doesn’t know how and no one is there to help him out. He’s not in the right and that’s okay. He doesn’t have to be good all the time. It’s absolutely silly to have to defend Adrien’s actions as if he can’t just make a mistake and be extremely hurt. It’s silly to condemn him as if his negative reactions don’t have real feelings behind them that need to be approached. I think what’s more childish is the need to make this such a big deal. I don’t care who started it. Whether it was Adrien salters or Adrien stans or both or neither. People are allowed to think Adrien is in the wrong. They may not be entirely right but they aren’t entirely wrong. People are allowed to think Adrien is in the right. They may not be entirely right but they aren’t entirely wrong. Chill. Take a breath. Let people feel what they want about a character and don’t let it get to you. In the end no one’s opinion is better than the other and I see valid reasons on both sides I just think the fact it turned into an argument is silly with childish pokes at each other back and forth. You’re human. I’m human. Adrien’s fictional. He doesn’t need to be burned at the stake or defended. Just enjoy his character the way you want. : )
