Re: Writing Argument-Redeemed Bully Character

Those people sound like they're projecting so hard they could be several IMAX theaters each.

I'd ignore them. If they're so confident that it's "unrealistic" to have people change, it sounds like they are firmly believing and unwilling to change from having the mindset of a victimized child themselves. After all, people can't change. So it's not worth the time to argue with those.

Haha, I loved this :D.

Yeah, I'm with the others here. There are real life stories of people who've redeemed themselves or who've been able to forgive things you normally wouldn't expect them to forgive.

If a character who was bullied was the type who couldn't manage to forgive, certainly, that attitude would make sense for them, and if the bully's "turn over a new leaf" transition wasn't very believably written or something, that'd be one thing.

But if the character who was bullied is the sort who can find forgiveness, who wants to make peace, and if the bully is one who shows genuine remorse and regret for their actions, then I don't see the problem. I find stories like that amazing in a good way.

Projecting is what I'm thinking. I'd understand being bothered if the character continued to behave in a bullying way but they don't really. They seem like someone who had a bad attitude as a kid, but real life consequences knocked that out of them and they want to start again.
