Mischaracterization of villains is the WORSTTT i swear.
No because why are ya'll just saying "they're misunderstood!!.." or "they're just a silly guy trust! xd" like
i get thats the case for SOME antagonists, but ya'll are acting like wanting something innocent like someone who listens to them COMPLETELY validates their actions.
i'm referring to shadow milk.
Like hello??? Lowk it's no wonder not even the beasts barely want to associate with him. Besides their conflict of interest, shadow milk pushed NOT ONE, not TWO, but THREE OF THE BEASTS TO THEIR BREAKING POINT?? (referring to mf, bs, n' es if it wasn't clear)
let me reach for your moral compass and SHOVE it back into you for a sec, because this man has caused indirect genocide of multiple nations, manipulated pv, the KINDEST and most UNDERSTANDING of ancients, mocked MULTIPLE cookies of their very existence, (bravegang, ancients, fellow beasts, etc...) and ALMOST indirectly drove some of them to crumbling themselves (aka SUICIDE. HELLO??? IS YOUR MORAL COMPASS BACK YET???)
it doesn't matter how much of a redemption arc he gets, how kind he might be in the future, it will NEVER make up for his destruction as the beast of deceit.
now keep in mind, i'm not throwing shade at ya if he's your favorite cookie, i'm throwing you shade if you ENDORSE his actions, if you EVER think he will make up for his past actions, and if you think ALL THERE IS TO HIM is being some stereotypical tsundere trope that acts all tough and mean, but is secretly really kind hearted if you give him a chance.
now, i take my leave. ty for your time.
