You mean that real people and well-written fictional characters have multi-faceted personalities? Good points? Bad points? Inconsistencies?

Wowzers.

With today's media, especially w/ Hollywood and other Western entertainment morality is presented as very dichotomous. There are bad guys, there are good guys and sometimes, when they want to be really complex, "gritty" and edgy there'll be a smidge of moral relativity.


I'm not surprised that people get confused. Bad guys aren't only the ones to shoot people, sell drugs and hold weirdly intense grudges on their superhero literally-a-norse-god bros.

Evil, ass-ignornant motherfuckers work with you, they're you're mother, sister, girlfriend/boyfriend. They might even be your friend, someone you chose when you were too young to know any better and they weren't who there are now. They are your teachers, your police and your court. Being a evil ass-ignorant motherfucker isn't just commiting crime and making yourself a social outcast. It can creep up on you quietly, as you "do what you have to do".

A lot of people have a surprisingly hard time grasping this. I guess it's easier when the bad guys are living far away in that one neighbourhood where people get shot/high.

I like how you say "they might even be your friend," as if "mother/sister/girlfriend/boyfriend" isn't close enough to have any sort of impact.

The way I interpreted this, it's not that blood relatives aren't close. It's just that you don't get to choose them. So the "you might even be friends with a bad person" was emphasizing that their shortcomings as a person might not be lifelong traits, or things that drove all reasonable people away from them.

This is why people say this stupid line when something evil is done by someone

"But but but he didn't LOOK like a bad guy!!!! How could he do such a thing???"
