So many thinkpieces I have seen here on why they don't like him, thinking to punch or slap him. Like he is a kid.
Clearly you've never met a kid of his personality and worse. I have... many times. Let's just say, I wanted to slap them so many times but held myself back for the parents' sakes.
Bro this is a storyyyyyy. I have met countless kids like him but never correlated to a story/ fictional kid. Be fr now
I am being fr. If I don't like bratty kids, I don't like bratty kids. Yes, he's a fictional character. Are we not allowed to dislike a character?
Disliking the characters is fine but disliking them cause you wanted to slap a kid like that irl yeah that's pretty weird.
Not really, it's pretty normal to imagining things about wanting to do things to a character since they are fictional in the first place since we won't do it in real life. Have you never seen people making art, comics or gifs of either themselves or another character slapping other characters of what they said or do out of annoyance? I would say comments about it is normal in this kind of community.
So you don't just not like the characters but venting on the them cause you're annoyed with kids irl and have no way to vent it on them directly?
I never said that. If I see a bratty kid, no matter in irl or fiction, I would want to slap them when they are being a little shit. But of course, we are not allowed to do it irl because it would do real harm, but in fiction and imagination, it there is no harm, so why are people not allowed to imagine it? It's like when I see an asshole going around harassing people, I would want to stop them, but I can't if it's irl life because I'm not physically nor confidently capable of doing so, but if it's a fictional asshole, people would imagine themselves punching him or at least stopping them.
reply to you is above
It's not okay to imagine to hit a 10/12 y/o kid. You can calmly explain it to them. If they're teenagers it's understandable. The character is a Kid, a 10 y/o. Clearly he hasn't mended his ways. Either in fiction or reality it's definitely not wise.
Bruh, it's just a fictional character. Of course I'm not okay about slapping a real kid, but you can't stop people from thinking about it sometimes when they get annoyed. People imagine things all the time, but we don't act on it because we know the consequence. For fictional character, they aren't gonna care if you want to slap them or not. Trying to enforce some morality on fictional characters is weird. They aren't real. They are just someone's fictional story and imagination.
I wasn't talking about fictional character. I am talking about you imagining slapping a 10y/o old. You gotta understand their brain is still not fully developed. It's not wise.
I quite disagree. If we're talking about taking real life action, then yes it's unwise. But imagining doing something but not following up on that in real life because you know it's bad and knowing the consequence is wisdom of its own. You CAN'T stop people from imagining doing bad things in real life, but you CAN stop them from doing the actions in itself. If someone wants to smack a person, but didn't go through with it. I'm not gonna call the Thought police to arrest them. It's just someone's imagination to get some relief for themselves. I'd take violence inside people's head rather in real life any day.
Idk. It's not weird but not okay either. Not a question about moral or.immoral. I'm talking about myself. I also get angry on kids but never really thought of harming them in imagination. Ig it's fine if it's just in thought but sometimes we go out of our imagination unconsciously. Hope you take care of that
It does happen to people who can't reel in their emotions well like children or people with mental and emotional instability. Bad thoughts comes from negative emotions, which is something that naturally happens, but it's our choice and our rationality that decides whether we act on those emotions or not. At least most people are smart enough to not act on emotions.
