people who give up on liking characters when they lose a fight baffle me
#[x is a fraud!]#[i can't go to bat for y anymore they lost]#like what#why????#firstly.#characters who only ever win are So hard to do right and make interesting#why would you want every character to never grow#secondly#i cant fathom giving up on my faves#espcially just cause they lost#(and to be honest???? the losses are usually Super explainable or make a ton of sense)#if no one lost any fights the story couldn't function#and not all characters should or can “reach their full potential”#“everyone wins and everyone is perfect and everyone gets everything !!!!!”#<- thats not a complete story thats an uninteresting rough draft with paper thin characters#idk#its all tied to the endless cycle in the public conciousness of whether its cool to like things or cool to hate things#and peoples inability to be genuine and earnest esp online#this doesn't really matter#ive just been wanting to say it
