What exactly are you trying to say?

He was presented with a pretty explicit choice between joining Rey and being good, or becoming the new Emperor and going full dark side, and he chose to be dark side.

I just don't see where this idea is that he actually hates being bad when he made a choice to continue being super evil when given the chance.

Because people are complicated and sometimes lie to themselves or make decisions that contradict what's best for them or how they really feel? Because it's Star Wars and more evil characters have been redeemed after previously making the choice to continue being super evil every time they got the chance? Because people enjoy storylines where apparently irredeemable villains change their minds and try to make amends?

I'm not saying he definitely will be redeemed, just that it's not an absurd impossibility and I can see why some people do argue that he will be redeemed. And I can certainly understand why some people hope he gets a redemption arc. The seeds of woobie!Kylo are there whether any of us like it or not; arguing that his fans completely pulled it out of their asses just makes naysayers look childish. I have to wonder if people who passionately argue that redemption is impossible for him are just bitter about the character's (or a certain ship's) popularity.

I'm not saying redemption is impossible for him. It's Star Wars, redemption is possible for everyone.

I'm saying that, so far in the story, he has not been presented as a character who secretly wants to be good and hates being bad.
