"You might hate your favorite character" sounds a little aggressive 😂 but imagine meeting them through the eyes of someone they hurt. You wouldn't hear the desperate reasoning. You wouldn't know what they were protecting. You'd just have the evidence — and sometimes the evidence is ugly.
That doesn't make every choice excusable. We don't want a painful backstory to become a free pass. We want the harder question: now that you understand them, what do you hope they'll do next?
That's a huge part of why we write misunderstood people, sacrifice, and redemption.
God sees the heart. The world sees the evidence. We write to explore the gap between the two.
