It's not anything new of course, but every character who comes off as nice, a little naive and/or optimistic is treated like they don't know anything or they've never been through any sort of pain. The only suffering taken into account is the one from characters (most often the OB gang) who openly express it and are angry about their lot in life (which is valid), while the pain endured by quieter characters, the ones who choose to smile or bottle everything up is easily forgotten. Just because they're not screaming at the world or seem "fine" at first glance doesn't mean they're stupid and don't have trauma/problems of their own.

And that's not even taking into account the fact some people think that the nicer characters are probably two-faced or actually the reason for everyone's suffering. Kalim isn't a slave owner who wants to make Jamil suffer, Neige is a good person and Rielle just wants to be seen as more than a child by his father! Sometimes... People are kind. They're not hiding anything, they're just fucking nice because it happens. The world would be pretty bleak if we were all assholes to each other actually! And character diversity is good!
