Do you think fans have to act like their canonical cruelty and destruction is bad though? Because I literally do not have a care in the world for the made-up people who were hurt by my favorite made-up bad person's actions so I'm not going to say they were bad because in my perspective, they weren't.

I'm not talking about Kylo Ren here and I'm rather neutral on him, but I'm wondering as a general rule why we take made-up bad actions so seriously.

AYRT—I can’t speak for others, but I can’t think of a single piece of fiction where I love the villain and give zero fucks about the other characters in general, or the villain’s victims specifically.

If I don’t care about the characters in a piece of fiction, I’m not gonna bother watching/reading the whole thing. And if I don’t give a shit about a villain’s actions, good or bad, what’s left to care about? How hot they are? If I even think my faves are hot (some aren’t) I might as well just buy a poster to stare at, because minus a character’s actions, all that’s left to engage with are their looks, which is boring as fuck to me.

The way characters interact with their world/each other, their reasoning (or denial that there are reasons) behind why they do what they do—that’s what makes characters interesting to me. If I didn’t care what they did, it’d be because I thought they were boring.

I mean, that’s one reason why I hate Kylo. I find his backstory lacking and his character pathetic as well as horrifying.

DA but I don't think it's all that outlandish to look at a piece of fiction and say "yeah that was a not-nice thing this character did". Humanity has been doing that for literally millenia.
