why is explaining a villains sad backstory always taken as an effort toward excusing their actions. why does the conversation need to involve the question of excusing anything rather than just making their present behavior way more interesting by complicating their feelings or their motivations. why is acknowledging complicated feelings or motivations taken as apologism in and of itself. why is everyone so incredibly boring
if i was polnareff i would literally be mauling peoole in the streets how does he stay sane
you hear about polnareff? yeahhh sorry we killed his mom and we killed his sister and we killed his boyfriend and we killed his boyfriend a second time and we killed the dog and we killed his brother and we took his fingers and we took his toes and we took his arm and we took his legs and we took his eye and we killed him. yeah sorry.
being aware that your behavior is shaped by childhood experiences is so cringe every time i notice it im like ooo look at her can’t even get over what someone told him when she was 7. grow up
