Okay media consumers, I'm gonna ask you to follow some lines of logic with me.

For good stories to exist, there needs to be conflict.

For conflict to happen, one or more characters will almost always need to make bad choices.

Just because a character makes one or a few bad choices does not automatically earn them the label of "toxic".

Just because said character does not experience immediate consequences due to their bad choices does not mean that they never will (especially if their story is not yet finished), nor does it mean that their creator is romanticizing or portraying their bad choices in a good light.

I mean, come on. You guys love a good slow burn romance. The least you can do is get used to the idea of slow burn conflict.

Edit:

DO NOT INTERPRET THIS POST AS ME SAYING THAT YOU SHOULDN'T DISAGREE WITH ANY CHARACTER'S ACTIONS EVER. DO NOT DO THAT.

I can tell some of you are already thinking about doing that.

Don't.

Please.

I don't have the energy for that.

there's doomed by the narrative and then there's my type of ship which I think is called never intended by the narrative. It's the political marriage or the unrequited best friend or the pre-hero's journey boyfriend or a character they barely interact with and my brain just goes "that one"

I think more games with romance should include polyamory as an option. Not just because of inclusion purposes but also because a lot of these games are super long RPGs and I sure as hell don't have time to replay the game 5 times to romance everyone I wanted to.

I wish there were more people doing compilations of characters in shows and the like just casually touching each other. And I don't mean sexually or romantically at all. Just the simple caress of another person, a friendly pat on the shoulder, a grip to hold back the other from falling down, the brushing of sides in a crowded place. It's the yearning for human connection, the longing for the simplest, most basic need. Man, I just want to watch people hug and be hugged.

How come in zombie or apocalyptic shows there’s always some kind of religious cult worshiping the zombies, like is this some kind of requirement?? Is there a check box??

I want a Dr. Psycho and Circe team up now! The misogynist and the Misandrist team up to stop Wonder Woman! Now wouldn't that be something!? I could also legitimately see them turning on each other and fighting to the point where Wonder Woman has to break up their fight.

When girls have the sharp canines? When girls have the canines that look like they could rip you apart? You agree
