It is ONE THING to joke about the Blight parents being hot or attractive (or even seriously thinking they are) but it is entirely something else to defend their actions because "OMG they are so ATTRACTIVE

TW// Mentions of child abuse
Like seriously do you all not have any other standards for characters that aren't "these character is handsome/pretty/whatever so they are immediately redeemable"?????? well I have news for you, ABUSIVE PARENTS SHOULDN'T BE FORGIVEN LIKE THAT. +

You all saying "poor baby Amity she suffers from abuse" But when you see her parents and think they are attractive you turn a blind eye. The only case in which a toxic parent you should be "forgiven" Is if they actively put in the work to change+

For their child's sake, even if they don't ever get the child in question's forgiveness, and even though, someone who has suffered from abuse shouldn't feel obligated to forgive their abuser/s just bc they're trying to do better, that is literally their responsibility.
Don't get me wrong, I am the first one to think attractive villains are great characters, but the types of villains that are like "I don't conform to society's standards and I commit crimes" Not the kind of villains that are literally child abusers.
Watch me get into another freaking toh debate/controversy bc you are all showing how little understanding of what common sense is you have.
PD: yes, I am the same person who defends that calling Mr Blight unattractive bc of his nose is racist, and I stand by that, him being a toxic person and at the same time not deserving of being held onto Eurocentric standards are statements that CAN and SHOULD coexist.
I know I probably shouldn't get so heated up bc of this since this fandom is consistently formed by minors, and minors can't be super self aware and non problematic, but I think those of us who are directly affected by it are on our right to get annoyed about it.
