He sees neglectful parents, deadbeat dads, etc all day. He's very sensitive to those who don't take good care of their kids (likely because he lost his parents and suffered in school for it, he is extra-sensitive to what kids go through when life changes hurt them).
Right but that doesnt mean that he should just make assumptions. If he's that sensitive to it, then he should be working in an office where he talks to people in all kinds of situations every day. He also should've at least been disciplined for it. Because y i k e s at having a judgemental guy in that position.
Also, that aside, my other issue was with the the creator portraying him only regretting his actions after learning the MC's pitiful situation as perfectly reasonable or expected.
Oh, absolutely, his job isn't to judge, but to assist. And even if it's a deadbeat dad, he's supposed to be a civil servant and serve.
However, I believe his behaviooral change IS understandable given his error in judgment and the sympathetiic situation of the character/sister. He was being an ass, and I conjectured why he might be an ass.... :)
Oh no worries, I understand he changed his behaviour because of receiving new information. I was just annoyed at the creator for writing his character like that, the type to let his personal feelings influence his work in a sensitive industry. Especially bec a lot of times, it reflects on the author themselves, y'know?
Maybe it's to let him grow. Meaning: he will become more sensitive.
Oh I think that'll happen in general, but she still definitely wrote it as if the other mc's situation is why he had his change of heart. It's like yeah he has a change of heart, but it was for the wrong reason. Should've just been "oh I acted unprofessionally, I should help him out" instead of "oh he's not a single dad, he got put into a bad situation and I misunderstood and should help him out now".
Even if he grows now, I'm still gonna think about how she wrote it as him only going back after realizing the misunderstanding.
Sorry idk if I expressed that well enough lol, but that's why ppl are pissed.
It really bothers me that glasses guy has a change of heart, not because he realized he was being too judgemental in general and lacked empathy, but because he finds out Ayato is Ren's brother and not her dad.
And it's like the author's trying to make it seem like that's why this situation is sympathetic. Like bitch, no. Why should someone who's taking time off work to get help with their situation be treated like that? Who cares if they're a single parent, they shouldn't need some sob story for you to help them, just do the job you're trained to do.
