“but i guess people are fine with it because it’s easier to ignore a character who has been insensitive from the beginning than it is to accept that a kind and easygoing character can have some flaws and aren’t always perfect.” <— CLOCK ITT
oh also, i see a lot of patton hate because "he's mean to logan" when i never saw this kind of sentiment when logan (and roman) was being dismissive of patton and even outright insulting him in s1 and even in recent episodes.
now i love and relate to logan as much as anyone else, but let’s not kid ourselves and pretend like he was perfect from the beginning. he has apologized or tried to make an effort to make it up to patton a couple times, but he still ends up insulting patton and not taking him seriously. so there’s not much progress there but i guess people are fine with it because it’s easier to ignore a character who has been insensitive from the beginning than it is to accept that a kind and easygoing character can have some flaws and aren’t always perfect.
if you’re going to judge patton for talking over logan or revealing his name without his consent (which btw logan didn’t even seem to care about, he never seemed to give that much importance to his name, since he is logic either way) you’re gonna have to judge the other sides whenever they’re being mean as well. criticizing or disliking a character is fine, i’m not gonna tell you how to feel about a character. but it’s the double standards that really pisses me off.
#sorry i usually keep commentary in the tags but it wouldn’t let me copy and paste😭anyways#heavy on that part - this is where I see a lot of double standards taking form from this sentiment#this is also a pet peeve I have in multiple fandoms - or just characters interpretations in general#which is this huge desire to all ‘clock’ the ‘Sunshine Character’ -cos God Forbid someone just be a genuinely optimistic and upbeat person#people always have to look for some hidden agenda that it’s all fake - and as soon as ssid character shows a flaw - that’s the proof needed#proof that all the niceness was fake and they were duping everyone from the start- when…no?? they just lashed out tgat one time??#one other example of this is Ralsei from Deltarune whom a significant part of the fandom believe he his the Big Bad for the same reason#but it’s easier to accept Susie because she started off as an asshole and developed into a loyal friend (we love Susie that’s my neice)#even back in ATLA days people were so adamant to paint Aang as a villain during the lost Appa arc#anyways that’s all for a different discussion - my essay is pending#but sticking to TSS - it’s clear that all the Sides have wronged at least one other Side and it needs to be resolved -m#all the Sides need to get it together - include my faves and including yours!#but no sometimes the Sunshine character isn’t a wolf in sheep’s clothing- sometimes they’re just flawed#love them or hate them either way - but in a show like this - we can’t act like they’re the only one#sanders sides#logan sanders#patton sanders
