#we like revenge-crazy characters because we know they'll able to heal and move on in the end

i'm sorry, but when discourse about mithrun switched to "he acts violent and cruel", i just couldn't take it seriously anymore. i mean, come on guys, is dunmeshi the first manga you've ever read? or like. the first media you've ever interacted with, ever? it's his entire character archetype! i'd even say he's one of a nicer examples, he didn't even kill anyone and had a good reason not to care about other people (yet somehow did anyway). i was rewatching slayers the other day (haven't rewatched it in years) and the character similar to him literally smiled as a maniac as he was electrocuting the main character with a spell. in the next episode he helped her escape and they became bffs. this is literally what that weird concept they call "suspension of disbelief" is all about
