One of my favorite gags on Scrubs was when Elliot asked Jordan why she was so awful and she told her that her parents were really mean, and Elliot was using that to excuse her behavior to people until Jordan finally admitted that her parents were great and she’s just an asshole for no reason.

The US in general has a bit of a tragedy fetish. It’s not a new thing, but the shift from “tragedy makes you a better person” to “tragedy makes your assholery okay” is a little troublesome. I mean, neither one of those is correct. At the end of the day, tragedy makes you sad. But at least the first trope invokes the desire to become a better person instead of the desire to be an asshole and get away with it.
