"Love Interest/Rival/Terrible Parent/BBEG is a mega asshole but it turns out they're lashing out due to ~secret trauma and/or emotional pain~ therefore this grown ass adult totally couldn't help their actions so the good guys have a moral imperative to forgive them"

I see people talk about how decades of this trope in fiction has convinced too many people to repeatedly forgive those in their lives that needn't, and perhaps shouldn't, be forgiven. But I rarely hear the flip side: how it's erroneously convinced many people that if they take it out on others when very upset, everyone else should, will, or must forgive them. And maybe we should talk about that part more...

I'm rewatching Grey's Anatomy, and the men on this show are made of this trope. Annoys me so much> The women do it sometimes too, but they are more likely to actually get called out than the men are.

What I hate is that the backlash against this trope has gone so far that people are now saying you CAN'T forgive anyone and are pushing a harmful idea if you, personally, choose to, and sometimes that "forgive" means anything that isn't as harsh as "verbally flay or physically punish the one who hurt you."

Some people would accuse me of forgiving the people I choose not to talk to anymore just because I didn't scream at them about all of the things they ever did and why they deserve to die before I stopped seeing them.
