minus-squareÐ Greıt Þu̇mpkin@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up37arrow-down2·6 months agoBasically every character who’s worst sin is just being kinda annoying It makes no sense to me how an annoying person can catch so much more vitriol than a genuinely malicious person. Like “sure he murders puppies as a casual past time, but at least he isn’t a bother about it!”
minus-squareKusimulkku@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up18arrow-down1·6 months agoI guess in a show the annoyance they cause to you is real but the puppies killed are fiction
minus-squareAbnorc@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·6 months agoI don’t hate characters for being evil in fiction. Evil characters can be super entertaining. The game of thrones books really captured this potential IMO. A character being annoying to the reader/viewer directly impedes with you enjoying the show.
