That's what I prefer writing too. I'm less picky about what I read.

And it's a secret because there's something wrong with this? Seems just normal to me.

[kallanda_lee]

Isn't this...common?

Noooo, they are very special and more complex than most people.

pretty much every movie, book, or short story that thinks its deep. you really don't see a lot of straight up g vs. e anymore imo.

[(Anonymous)]

I like those stories too.

Depends on my mood really. I adore grey vs grey, and a lot of my favourite character types tend to live in that kind of story (I have a fondness for spies, tricksters, honourable servants of evil organisations, etc), but sometimes I really do just want to watch our heroes give everything they have to fight off a (preferably) irredeemably evil but exceptionally fearsome/awesome villain. Just for when you want to vicariously experience a guilt-free pull out of all the stops, you know? Also there's a significant catharsis factor in watching someone straight-up nasty get pounded on as well. So, you know. It depends on what kind of day I'm having.

I'm pretty sure that's what most people like. It's not that unique.

Eeeh, sometimes.
I feel like when morally grey is pulled off, it's pulled off spectacularly! But when it fizzles it fizzles really badly.

Where as a good simple good vs. evil can be enjoyed even if it's a bit half-hearted about it.

I mean the perfect example of how morally grey can fizzle is Snape. Snape was supposed to be morally grey, but according to fandom he is either a saint or a monster.

"Snape was supposed to be morally grey, but according to fandom he is either a saint or a monster."

Interesting comment! I think that Snape actually IS written as morally grey, but that the two large fandom factions seem to identify too much with one single facet of him - either the bullied or bullying side - and their reactions to the character seem to be based solely off that one characteristic. Either they empathize with him because they were bullied by their peers, or they loathe him because they were bullied by a teacher.

I think that the written execution of the character does seem morally grey. And that fandom loves morally grey, unless it hits too close to home, in which case they default to the good/evil dichotomy.

[(Anonymous)]

My fandom-at-the-moment have Grey vs Grey morality.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Gray vs. Grey. I always feel that phrase looks best with the differing spelling.

You and a bunch of other people.

[(Anonymous)]

To me, especially in the past few years, with a lot of media it feels like even when they present something as good vs. bad, they actually make most of the characters gray. The bad guys seem to have compelling reasons for why they are bad and the good guys have taken a lot of actions that most people would deem bad.

Winner of the year so far for "why is this a secret"?
