Re: What fictional character types do you hate?

[(Anonymous)]

Characters who are drugged/spelled/brainwashed into doing horrible things. Mostly because 99% of the time, the narrative treats it as though their pain over the things they did is the only important pain. Anyone attempting to bring them to trial is inevitably going to be the villain, and 99.9% of the time the victims or the families of the victims are treated as wrong if they don't immediately forgive the character for what happened.

It's even worse if the victim and the brainwashed character are both significant characters, because there will typically be an arc where the victim has to realize how wrong they are to still be upset/angry/afraid, and look how sorry he is, you need to forgive him now - or even worse, the victim will go completely off the rails and try to murder the brainwashed character, because god forbid we take a nuanced approach that doesn't frame any reaction other than forgiveness as evil.

It's particularly frustrating because it's something that could be interesting if done well, and it almost never is.
