Ha, my post below does just that, oops!

But in my defense! What I'm talking about and what I can't stand is when some people defend tricky ambiguous relationships or characters by morally white-washing them into being pure sweetness and light. I'm ALL FOR enjoying gross and creepy things, and I think there's nothing wrong with being like, I enjoy this BECAUSE it's gross and creepy, and I have my owns reasons for doing so, and y'all can fuck right off thinking I condone that behavior or relationship in real life.

But dear GOD, do I cringe when people say they're fans of whatever gross and creepy thing, and then characterize it as lovely and wonderful, and ohh, that manipulative bastard is only doing what's he's doing out of looove. What kind of delusional fuckery...

And still, I don't say anything to them, because that would be petty and dumb. And funny because here I am with *this group* of people side-eyeing the fuck out of me for liking Creepy Thing X because it's creepy, while I'm side-eyeing the people who like Creepy Thing X because they think it's not creepy. The only way you can remain ~untainted~ is if you don't like Creepy Thing X, but..... the heart wants what it wants and has its reasons which Reason cannot know. You know? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think there is a line of condoning creepy or horrible actions, and that makes me uncomfortable. But I've seen that maybe twice in relation to this character (Sauron). The person making the original post, though, was claiming that any time someone doesn't mention that Sauron is evil in their post or fic they are woobifying him. And I don't agree with that mentality at all. Characters are complicated and it is okay to explore the nicer sides of a character. That's not the same thing as saying an evil action is actually good.

Except people don't get that their opinions on woobifying are not always objective, and it isn't whitewashing to see a character who is flawed, but also canonically has good traits, and focus on that without making disclaimers about how you know they're trash, guys~
