#the gom were not evil villains their only crime is being 15 and having shitty coping mechanisms

Idk who said something like that about losing "privilege" to play with Kuroko because I must emphasize once again that Kuroko is not a perfect protagonist whatsoever.

I don't harbor any anger for him at all because he is a literal teenager and I don't expect him to have the critical thinking of an adult, but the reality is that his friends were all going through their own shit mentally but he centered himself around everything and took the inner turmoil his friends were experiencing as a personal attack. He was more lenient to Aomine, but then he told Akashi to his face that he was the reason why the team had changed. Given that Akashi was already at his lowest, that was the LAST thing he needed to hear from Kuroko, especially since it objectively wasn't true. 😭

And Kuroko is wishy-washy about his stance on certain things. Violence is never the answer according to him, but he punched Kagami in the face mid-game when they were up against Shuutoku early in the series. Not to mention the 111-11 incident. Kuroko stood by and watched the GoM toy with opponents and didn't say much aside from a quick "that wasn't nice" after the game was over. But he absolutely expected special treatment for Ogiwara during the finals and was very vocal about GoM taking games seriously ONLY when he had a personal stake in the match.

No one person in that friend group is completely innocent, and that's fine. Like everyone has said, they were all kids who had no idea how to handle stuff like this, and so they all played a part in tearing each other down. Including Kuroko. He had his own flaws, but I think due to his own underdog story, people either forget or pretend those flaws don't exist.

Just saw someone say that the GoM(-Momoi) lost the "privilege" of playing on the same team as kuroko and Im😭😭
