The Outsiders small rant
So i was on tiktok and I saw a video talking about The Outsiders, and in the comments someone said "I'm allowed to like Dallas and hate Bob." And the Op replyed to that comment and said "I actually dissagree." So i was wondering why its so bad to feel that way. Like I love Dally, and I'm well aware of the fact the he isn't exactly a good person and him and Bob are like two sides of the same coin. But I just don't understand why its so bad to like Dally and dislike Bob. Bob didn't really get that much time to give me a reason to like him during the book or the movie (It has been a little while since I've seen the movie and read the book so please correct me for anything i get wrong) and all we really got from him is just him being a total dick. The most we get of Him being a little nice is Cherry(Sherri) telling Ponyboy something along the lines of he can be really sweet or he isn't always like that, but that doesn't really give me a solid reason to actually like Bob and I serously don't unserstand people to do like him. And I'm not one of thise fans who thinks all the Soc's sould die or somthing thats just stupid. And I also don't genuinely think Dally is "so sweet to you in private abd would cuddle you when hes bored" (I do eat up any fanfic like that tho) I just really like his character. Anyway, Bob fans, why do you like him? Dally haters, why don't you like him? People who think I shouldn't like Dally and hatw Bob, why? Please at least try and be respectful with answers🫶
Side note: Ponyboy is my favorite.
