It amazes me how Second both is either the most violent or the most forgiving of the group sometimes
Same guy who was the first to IMMEDIATELY forgive both Purple in the LOL video and King at the end of AVM S3
RIGHT!? RIGHT!? I THINK ABOUT THIS ALL THE TIME!!!!
and to me, it also connects to his trauma with alan! he's been taught its normal and somewhat expected to almost immediately forgive someone for the violence they brought upon you and others if they seem like they want to change or do better. alan hurt him and his friends, but alan realized the error of his ways, and alan also sort of heavily encouraged/forced orange to "calm down" about it. the implication there is that if orange didnt calm down and "forgive" alan there then the deal would be off. so his idea of morals and empathy is defined by the fact that if someone does hurt you, if they say they're going to do better, let them! give them the space to!
you can also see this manifest in the shorts with bob and green. the expectation he applies to green is that green needs to learn to bite his tongue and let the violence "happen" because bob is a baby and doesn't know any better, but then orange also does literally NOTHING to try and correct the behavior or learn WHY bob is beating the shit out of them in the first place, only ever praising bob after green is mean to "comfort" him. bob surely doesn't MEAN to hurt others, he literally is just a little baby, you can't blame him! but then bob never changes, never grows, never does better, and green is just getting hounded for rightfully being upset not just at bob but presumably at the fact that he's been told he just has to ALLOW himself to be hit. i think in a lot of ways bob represents how orange feels about himself, he is the violent baby and he is giving bob the comfort he wants during his own violent episodes.
purple and mango have both proven to him that they don't want to continue to harm others, and to him, that's literally all he needs! i think this also comes from the fact that he is confident that if they act up again he can just crush them like a soda can- a manifestation of the same "threat/deal" alan applied to orange. alan forgave orange almost immediately because orange proved to be helpful, but also because alan can immediately just kill him the moment orange steps out of line if he wanted to. orange views it like that, i imagine. he doesn't THINK they'll turn evil again, but hey if they do they can hit them until they're good people again. or kill them.
he interests me so much. hes so violent and SO quick to just start hitting people but is also SO QUICK to just be like alright good game ^_^ hope u have a good day now. like its CRAZY. HES CRAZY!!!!!
