I haven't watched it but do know a couple of fans and how angry they got at the main character on behalf of Ryu Shi-oh was A LOT.

I think it's weirdly easier for fans to forgive or cut slack for a villainous character when they do better than their previous terrible baseline, than forgive a character positioned to be 'good' when they make flawed or selfish decisions.

I can understand in that sometimes, because protagonist centered morality can be an issue in a canon, and an undercover/fake identity storyline is rife with tension, but the vitriol really put me off.

Though from osmosis, his fate does seem sad. Too bad for his fans the show wasn't for her to reach out from genuine emotion, convincing him flip on his boss/the higher ups, survive and maybe get lowered prison sentence.

OP of comment secret.

I totally get people being sad at his ending because it did suck but it also wasn't framed as good or something to be happy about. The FL and ML do actually have a moment of wishing it could have been different for RSO. But the way other fans of him just constantly went on and on about how awful the FL was for wanting to stop him from hurting other people and her family was so offputting to me, she was treated as evil for simply trying to mitigate the damage he was doing(and doubled down on when he found out she had been playing him).

It wasn't as if there was no sympathetic angle to him, because there was it's why I like him, but it didn't change the bad things he was still deciding to do. Like the bashing and hate of both the FL and ML(and at the ML's actor) was too much and way overboard so I left the bigger part of the fandom.
