some people really need to understand that thereâs a difference between saying âtheyâre a good characterâ and âtheyâre a good personâ
Me: This villain is a really good character!
Some fucker at tumbler dot com: Um you do realize they KILL people right? Or are you OKAY with that??? Youâre cool with murder???? Wouldnât mind if they killed your family!!!??? Iâm calling the police
Theyâre a good person: I agree with their actions and think that their intentions are in the right place most of the time according to my moral compass, and if they were real, Iâd generally call them a âgood personâ.
Theyâre a good Character: Theyâre well-written, interesting or fun to watch or listen to etc, compelling, or they elicit the emotional reaction in me that they are intended to elicit. Even if that emotional reaction is fear, disgust, hatred, etc.
A âgood characterâ can be ANY kind of person. What makes a âgood personâ and a âgood characterâ are very different. If all of the characters were âgood peopleâ, guess what⊠thereâs no story, because thereâs no conflict.
