What a lot of tbhk fans refuse to admit is that especially when it comes to Hanako they use the "he's morally gray"/"all the characters are questionable!" To water down his actions and they think labeling him as morally gray means you can't label him as bad.
They try and lump all the characters together with the statement "there all bad in a way!" To change the subject and make him seem not as bad-
And yes in my opinion this is STILL trying to justify his behavior bc you're lumping in a bunch of characters that haven't even done HALF of what he's done in the same group as him to make his actions seem "less bad"
Im sorry no- they aren't "all bad in ways" when you're trying to lump them in with a murderer, emotional manipulator and someone that sacrificed an innocent girl bc "he loves her!" and refuses to acknowledge his wrongs and even apologize.
It is by fare the weakest argument I've ever seen and it pmo sm.
