Re: Writing Argument-Redeemed Bully Character

[(Anonymous)]

the people in the group probably could use a reminder that this a work of fiction. that all the characters are fictional, the bullying was fictional, and that they themselves are NOT the characters.

in roleplay we call this the ooc (out of character) =/= ic (in character) divide. people who don't follow this rule can't distinguish themselves from the fictional character they're playing and often end up getting upset or offended whenever something unpleasant happens to their character. while your group might not be roleplaying, they're definitely writing characters and identifying with them. it sounds like they're identifying with the characters TOO MUCH and, like an anon already mentioned, are projecting hard.

however, there could be other factors coming into play. maybe the development isn't sufficient to them. maybe they actually need to see the former-bully offer an apology to those they bullied or show remorse of some kind before they'll accept it as believable. you might want to communicate with the writers and see what each of them wants out of this project.
