This thread is proving exactly why this is a secret. There's a fairly prevalent stance that accepting the villains as villains and not turning them good is superior in some way. *eyeroll* As though liking a 180 redemption is for the mentally weak or some shit, lol.

Personally, I need at least, like, a 120 degree redemption in order to be able to enjoy a ship with a formerly evil character in it. That's just how it works for me, and I'm good with that. It's cool that other people like their unrepentant villain ships, good for them. The only inferior option is thinking you're better because you have different shipping tastes than someone else. Like good god, can we not?

Yeah, sure, I totally agree with you, but if that's what OP thinks I don't know what it has to do with SJWs

(Anonymous) 2021-05-26 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
The unnecessary mention of SJWs is throwing people off. "I want my villains to turn into beta cucks, take that SJWs." Okay...

It is weak. The OP even acknowledges this when they mention wanting it to be OOC.

Why even bother?

I love a redemption arc, when it is in character. But yes, I do think in character is automatically superior and OOC is automatically inferior. There are plenty of characters to write redemption arcs for where it works. If you can't write a character as recognizably who they are, you really aren't writing them at all. You are writing a different character and then slapping the other character's name on them.

Thank you! I just don't want to inflict an evil chaarcter on the second part of my ship. I want a healthy relationship for them.

(Anonymous) 2021-05-26 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
If it's ooc it's ooc. Don't sacrifice characterisation for some shitty idea of what a 'healthy relationship' is. (Usually far from what people write anyway)

I'm not picky about my fic. I'm fine with some OOC... as long as I enjoy reading it, I'm happy.

(Anonymous) 2021-05-26 12:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Then don't inflict an evil character on them in the first place, maybe.

(Anonymous) 2021-05-26 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Why not? If I like the character. I doesn't hurt anyone. Just scroll by.

*It

I feel like 'I like a 180 redemption arc for villains' and 'I can only like (or ship) villains if they get a 180 redemption arc' are two different sentiments.
