Thanks bro. I appreciate it. I genuinely want to understand why people think he isn't redeemable or can't be forgiven, can't fix himself, etc. These are people who've never gone outside to see how the world really works outside of their idealistic views. If they spent ANY time with anyone who has trauma, chances are it's because of something from their past. So when I ask this question or make points, they just call me weird.
...i just say, "OK? And? Grow up. Welcome to society." Can't say I'm innocent in the name calling game, but it's not so personal and "out of the blue" as their insults. And then they see I could care less and would like to continue the discussion, they block me (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜 well, you can't give the truth to someone who doesn't want to hear it.
Anyways, I engage because I'm bored, i want to know why they think xyz, and I like to write. I also like proving people wrong. But thank you for seeing my view point.

I agree with most of your points. But imo understanding why an abused victim become the culprit is always ok. But using past trauma to justify current actions is never okay. Else the world will probably crawling with people abusing each other all the time. The keyword is „justify“. The word itself gives people a free card of „i can be as shitty as i want because i was raised this way“. It‘s true that most criminals have past trauma, but their actions should never be justified.
I pity them mostly.. like how jjk is here.. i mean at the end of the day its a work of fiction and im here to enjoy hella good art and boys fucking each other(〜 ̄△ ̄)〜. In some occasions i do find the author to be leaning on sobby past too much and its a trope thats so overused atp.. but yk some ppl being so invested and emotional is kinda weird ngl lol
I finally found some scientific evidence that ABUSE IS LEARNED and it is hard to UNLEARN IT unless through THERAPY and RECOVERY.

He DOES have an excuse (BUT IT DOES NOT ABSOLVE HIS CONSEQUENCES) for his manners—he was abused and taught violent yields reward through boxing.
His responses are JUSTIFIED (do NOT conflate with "good" or "right") because it is REASONABLE why he does these terrible things—because his family TAUGHT him to hurt others and degrade others.
He did NOT learn how to love or be kind because he had no mother (one that abandoned him and never came back) nor a father that support him. He LEARNED ATO BE KIND to OLDER FOLKS because they showed him generosity, so he does the same. But the kids who bullied himself straight away when he joined the boxing club? The way the manager treated him when he was starving and stealing? GET REAL. Who would expect JJK to have the temperament of Kim Dan when all his entire childhood up to teen years was abuse, bullying, neglect, and death?
Sure, he COULD have chosen to become a different person who was kind. But in his backstory, can you point to someone who was his age who WAS kind and friendly to him? If not, then you must see my point: he didn't KNOW he had the option to get out of the Abuse cycle. It's called a cycle for a reason, and unless an outside force acts (like Kim Dan), then you cannot get out of it.
Without a PAST, what would you be? You guys are acting like, "ohh just because you had a hard life doesn't mean you can't get out of it" Okay, American. Not everyone has the same opportunities or mindset as you. This is like saying "Okay, poor person. All you need to do is get rich, despite all the taxes and networking and cheaters in the job industry. [Okay, abused person. All you need to do is learn how to be nice when the world is proving to you that it won't be nice to you.]"
Also, I hate JJK as much as another. But I understand he had a rough past and now he is in his redemption arc. He needs help, and the fact you people love slapping his hand away, telling him "you need to be better" just shows you're no better than those who abused him. Abuse needs to be unlearned and JJK needs therapy. You can forgive and not forget what he's done, it's called having consequences. He will have HEAVY consequences for his terrible actions. But they came from his past and that makes his actions WITH A REASON.
Say a person from a rich, well off family goes and kills another. They had everything yet they chose to kill someone they didn't like. They had a reason, but this is NOT reasonable (to kill over a disagreement or dislike). JJK's actions are REASONABLE because that's what he was TAUGHT how to live.
