Broke: Acknowledging that a character who is an objectively terrible person is also a complex and intentionally well thought out individual with different levels of nuance you can empathize with in some ways while not in others is immediately āwoobifyingā or āpoor little meow meowifyingā them.
Woke: āThis character is a bad personā and āthis character is still a personā are two statements that can, should and do coexist and admitting that they exhibit nuance and depth and are more than just their bad actions doesnāt immediately excuse or condone their bad actions or mean that youāre ignoring or trying to soften the canonical version of the character.
Bespoke: Thatās the whole point, thatās always been the point, to be made to empathize with horrible people so you can understand that they can be anyone, that bad people can be likeable, can be interesting, can be human, are human, and itās scary to think about all the ways theyāre just like you and all the ways theyāre just like everything you hate, forcing the use of critical skills in media analysis, forcing a confrontation of the duality of man.
Whatever Level is Above Bespoke: But sometimes, yeah, sure, maybe they are a poor little meow meow, what are you gonna do, get a lawyer
