Y'all have no empathy Jesus

...u realize a lot of us r joking right
And if they’re being stupid, yes, then you should let them know they were being stupid and should be more careful - otherwise they’ll just end up hurting themselves and others in the future. Kids are supposed to be constantly growing, and raised right to slowly grow up and mature. The question is if it’s in a healthy way.
And some of us just don’t like children, and if they don’t like children, they’ll just avoid them. So u don’t have to worry about them reacting to children lol.

I mean, she could have just listen to the adult ??? He told her to be careful, but she didn't listen ? Any kids is able to listen to an adult ?? You don't have to be mature to listen to an adult when he says "stop doing that" ? And I don't like children in general, I don't expect them to be mature because I'm perfectly aware that they're childish and immature, and that's the very reason why I can't stand them and so, I don't stay near them bc they make me uncomfortable. But are you seriously judging people who don't like children and worse, you're saying that they must have a fucking therapy ???? Are u serous ?????? Just bc I'm not surprise, it doesn't mean that I'm not annoyed ? And just bc they're children, it doesn't mean that everything is allowed ? One of the adult's duty is to protect them but also to educated them ? Teaching them that they have to listen to the adults especially if the situation is serious and/or dangerous, don't you think so ? Also, we can be annoyed with a child and still feel empathy for them or in general ? Like, who are you to judge someone by assuming their personality, wether they lack of empathy or not, based on the only fact that they're annoyed with a fictional character ? Also, who are you to assume wether someone react the same way when it comes to fiction and reality ? Your comment is super offensive.

I couldn't agree more

bro its a fictional kid hating on them is even more stupid and what fucking indicator is there for the ppl complaining about this FICTIONAL, NOT REAL, CHILD, that it is a joke? dont project your child hating onto a fictional child and also hating kids is pretty fucking weird irl either way like yeah theyre stressful but fuck if you like actually fr hate kids you need to grow a spine.

It's exactly bc this child is fictional that I don't understand why do people take this so seriously as if she was real. Like it may be a fiction but fiction make you feel emotions, some fictions make you laugh, cry, angry etc, even tho it's fictional. Here, one character make some people annoyed, there is absolutely no problem with that. This is just what the author make us feel as readers with their plot, with their characters etc. What I can't understand is why do people are insulting or judging those who are just feeling some emotions that differ from theirs. Just bc you can't understand or you don't feel the same way that you all have the right to judge us. Like, why do they feel obligated to defend her as if she was real? As if we were monsters who would let a child dies all alone in the woods without any compassion. Disliking kids doesn't mean being heartless. But here, this is just fiction, and I really don't care at all. The only emotion she makes me feel is annoyance and I have the right to feel that way bc she's not real and the author is good enough to makes me feel something with just a fictional character. Don't treat fiction as reality. And just bc you can't understand other's opinions doesn't mean that you're right and you have the right to judge us? Do u feel attacked bc you're a kid or what? Be mature and accept and respect the fact that people have different opinions (about hating kids in general)

She's annoying but she's just a kid, I agree, but saying that every mature kid is mature bc has a trauma is really exaggerated. Here it's not even about being mature, just listening to someone telling you it's dangerous. And don't worry, hating a side character in a story you're reading just for purple haired guy and his soon-to-be boyfriend doesn't make you a child abuser in need of therapy in real life.

Omg thank you, you are so damn right.

Exactly lmfao it’s not about anything else but her not listening and her stupid actions leading for someone else getting hurt and endangering herself and him - especially becuz of the situation they’re in rn
Kids can be mature if they’re raised right and healthily, and are probably more mature than those who have trauma, so what op is saying makes no sense
Like srsly, if I hurt myself becuz I was stupid, then I was being stupid
And if I hurt someone else becuz of that, then it’s even more stupid
Take it from someone who literally slaughtered her arm and almost bled out becuz they punched glass to scare her sister like a ghost in a haunted house
And idk about anyone else, but I just find her annoying, which I feel like is understandable, like this child is being dumb, like just cuz she’s a child I’m not gonna excuse everything they do.

Well ik what I said was joking around, which was "this is why children are so punchable" I was joking, I’d never actually hit a child cuz that would be messed up
And ppl r allowed to get frustrated if they see someone doing something stupid, it’s not like just cuz it ain’t real, ppl r unable to feel anything about it

shes not a real kid either way also didnt see ur thing but u are speaking for other ppl when youre like 'a lot of us are joking', either way people wouldnt know if u didnt have any clear indication that u were joking. and again, shes not doing anything stupid, and shes like fictional.

Lol true ig some ppl r being serious in the comments
I literally said "for those who can’t tell: I’m joking" lmfao
She was being stupid imo, cuz she didn’t listen to someone to be careful, and she ended up hurting herself and someone else - again take it from someone who’s done something just as stupid
Even if she’s fictional ppl will still get frustrated lol, mostly cuz they’re so invested with city boy

yeah i said before i didnt see your original comment about wanting to hurt her as like a joke, but people really are taking it a bit too far about a child doing childish things.

Yeah, I see some full on rants and it’s a bit much loll

Kids will be kids, they won't listen to adults. I doubt you listened to adults all the time when you were younger without some sort of yelling or hitting and yelling/hitting kids is illegal and can cause damage to a child's mental state.

I'm not saying she was blameless and I'm not saying every single one of you who don't like kids are bad, I'm saying that there's no actual reason to be mad at the kid to the extent that a lot of people are.

Obviously I know that you're going to avoid kids if you don't like them or you don't know how to deal with them, but that seems not healthy to do? You need to learn to deal with people in life.
You can't avoid children forever. You'll have to interact with them at some point, maybe when you're an adult and people joking about how they want to hurt kids is pretty bad.

Some of you aren't talking about hurting kids, and you're saying it's her fault that they got in that situation, and that's true. But she's a kid.

You kind of can't be too mad at her for not having enough foresight to know that she could genuinely get hurt. She's obviously led a pretty sheltered life with her dad protecting her constantly and she needs to learn to grow. That's fine. Hurting a kid on purpose however as retaliation when they it was an accident is not fine and that is why I'm mad.

True some ppl r overreacting

Actually ppl could probably just avoid kids forever. Unless ur married or u have a job involving kids, there’s no reason for u to interact with them.

You can’t be too mad at her, but u probably should tell her, omg bruh that was stupid, apologize pls.
And nobody is actually hitting the kid lol. Just getting mad at them.

I mean, family members could have kids and that means you'll have to meet them, a kid on a train could start chatting to you and that means you'll have to interact with them. It's pretty difficult to not ever talk to or meet a kid.

Also, some people are saying that they'd hit the kid or that they'd leaver her there to possibly die without a care and that feels like sociopathic/psychopathic behaviour to me so yeah, I'm sorry for being defensive about an issue that I deem serious enough to care about.

Children are children. I agree that they can be mature but in a stressful situation which they likely haven't encountered before, they're not going to know what to do. You can't expect them to stay level headed and listen to an adult because kids often think they know everything they need to know.

Those who have trauma can be seen as 'more mature' and by that I mean, less energetic, more repressed and someone who lets things happen even though a normal kid will throw a tantrum. If a child has been abandoned multiple times before, they're going to have trust issues and will be more prone to letting people leave without much complaint. They might cry, but they won't throw a tantrum. That is considered mature behaviour.

They have a lack of emotional maturity if you think about it, but I think a lot of people would have preferred it if she just listened to the adult without complaint, but most of the time children only listen to the adult without complaint if the adult thoroughly explains the situation with hand-holding or if the child is scared of the adult.

If you hurt yourself because you were being stupid, yes, you were being stupid, but it's unlikely you knew any better. You only call it stupid after the moment, not during it. That's why we have the freedom to say that what the girl did was stupid, but she wouldn't have known that in the comic. She is a child, who doesn't have the experience and as much intelligence of her surroundings.

It's not an excuse either, but a reason. She will need to face consequences but leaving her in the forest to possibly die or get hurt, or be slapped, hit or yelled at is not right regardless and that is what a lot of people are saying that the girl deserves.

Being less energetic doesn't mean being mature, you can be the quietest person in the world and be an idiot or you can make a mess and still be more mature. You're just talking about dealing with emotions, which has little to do with what happened here and no link with a child listening or not to adults (and being less energetic doesn't mean being a victim of abuse so...).
I can't understand how we are creating a drama over a drawing really lmao You should not take at heart people (over)reacting to a comic, I'm sure most of those people, if they were into a situation like that in real life, would try to help the child. I think it's wrong assuming a person's moral based on some comments over a fictional (!!!) story.
When I was younger I used to dislike children, but now I'm more on a neutral opinion. They indeed have to be protected and I think there is no worse crime than child abuse. But, in this specific case, this girl needs to learn a couple of things, especially listening if someone is telling you that it is dangerous going in that direction or I don't know, open your eyes and watch where you're going.

I do understand where you're coming from but I'm not complaining about people who are just saying that she's annoying, I'm talking about people who are saying that they would actually leave her or yell at her or hit her.

Her dealing with emotions do actually have a lot to do with her listening to an adult, as all children don't listen to adults when they're going through something and a lot of the time, there'll be kids who purposefully don't listen to adults they don't like or those who aren't particularly nice to them.

If you aren't meaning anything seriously, then okay, I'm sorry for overreacting. I couldn't tell it was a joke because it's difficult to tell through text, especially when I don't know you very well. But also because sometimes shitty people exist on the internet and it's difficult to tell. Also because I doubt that the people ranting about how they would abandon the kid are just joking.

I also used to dislike children younger than I was when I was a kid but now, I like kids and I appreciate them. Yeah, they can be a pain in the ass, but if you take care of them properly, they'll be okay and so will you.

And also, yes, I agree that she should have watched where she was going and listened to the adult, but she probably didn't think that something like a cliff would be right there because she's a child in an unfamiliar environment. She doesn't know that you can randomly fall off cliffs. It's like how sometimes you don't register something as a danger until it's too late and the problem/disaster's already happened and at that point, all you can do is pick up the pieces and try to fix the situation.

Also because children are very "I'm not going to listen to an adult and I'm going to do what I want." a lot of the time.

Um that's not mature... lol what? Letting people go more easily, and then feeling as if they were going to leave anyways, so they won’t let it get to them is considered maturity? What? That’s not maturity, it’s emotional issues that are unhealthy for that person.

Uh but it’s still stupid lol.

All these ppl r overstating I’m pretty sure that they wouldn’t actually hit the kid or get mad at them outwardly.
