Am I the only person bothered by the lessons from Copycat and Syren, or even Frozer. It shows Chat Noir doing some bad stuff but the Fandom ignores that and instead says oh Ladybug is horrible she exposed Lila in the park. Chat Noir has done way worse than Lila. He lied to Theo and multiple people Ladybug and him were a couple which was the reason he got akumitized and later makes Ladybug believe she was the reason he got akumatized. In syren he throws tantrums and threatens plagg, etc
No, a lot of people are able to see his behaviour, and I know a few people have called him out, names I can’t remember but he is being called out, but it's definitely a huge double standard. If Lila lies, mainly for attention, its evil, its monstrous, she’s a villain. If Chat lies, for his love for Ladybug, its romantic, it proves his devotion for his love for Ladybug, its charming. And it’s so hypocritical it hurts. Or even when Marinette lies, either for having to become Ladybug or anything else the narrative does everything to show that its wrong to lie, even if you have a secret identity to be a superhero! But like even then Marinette will be heavily criticized for doing something, that some else has already done. In the first episode when Alya pretends to be like a magical unicorn for Manon it was cute and sweet. When Marinette pretended to be one of Santa’s little helpers for Chris, its apparently her fault for getting him Akumatized, and that was around the time when I wasn’t in the salt fandom and had no idea about the problems of the show and even then, I thought that was so weird.
As well as the show saying, ‘all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing’ at the start, only to say ‘if Adrien and Marinette are the only ones to know the truth then it's ok and they’re the good guys, it doesn’t matter that Lila is still lying’ but when she does get called out I’m gonna bet people are just going to blame Marinette for not giving evidence fast enough as people coddle Adrien because he didn’t really know what’s happened, which is how the writers will get around it.
The show wants to say Adrien is a boy who is socially awkward and has never had a friend before, besides Chloé, and doesn’t get stuff about school. And yet the show also turns to him as this wise person with this advice that the audience can look up to as a mentor or something and its like. ??? Pick some trait for him.
If they wanted to keep him as this sheltered boy, his advice could’ve still been the same, however, Marinette didn’t have to agree with him, but because of her ‘love’ she must agree with everything that she says because the narrative tells us that you can never disagree with your partner. Or in Chat’s case, you can get told no, throw a tantrum, runoff, wait until someone Ladybug says sorry, and carry on like nothing ever happened.
The writers have shown they prefer Adrien as every time he messes up, something bigger comes up so Ladybug has to forgive him so they work on the bigger picture or he has a bunch of sad moments that the audience feels sorry for him and villainise the one who made him sad, who was probably in the right in the first place.
Meanwhile, if Marinette makes a mistake,
But when they get called out they don’t admit it they just say, we have a biracial protag, isn’t that enough?
In short, yes the lessons are incredibly hypocritical because plenty of the fandom prefers sunshine child to our protag because he’s being abused and deserves all the love he can get, so they double down on their protections of Adrien and can’t bear when people show his flaws.
(Sorry if this seemed really salty, I think it’s the saltiest I’ve gotten, but I hope you can understand my answer as well. Have a nice day)
