Y'all have no empathy Jesus

Here the best comment I found which sums up pretty much everything and show how this debate is useless = Loving how ppl can condemn other ppl for wanting to beat a fictional character. As if it necessarily means they're going to do it in real life.
The problem rests mostly on how the authors choose to depict kids in their works, here how the girl acted was believable especially with the background the author gave her.
So if you're annoyed at kids in general its alright if this girl allows u to vent ur frustration, because she won't be hurt by your comments since it's a character to begin with.

That was my original point!
What lots of people seem to consider "mature" is not mature at all, and incredibly unhealthy and children acting like kids and being bratty is relatively normal! And a good thing to an extent! It means the kid isn't scared.

And yes, people could be overstating, but I don't know that. And sometimes people aren't. You can't just expect people to be decent because sometimes they are not. Also, I don't consider joking about leaving children to maybe die, or hitting them or yelling at them to be funny. I don't think joking about anyone getting hurt is funny. And why would you overstate a serious issue? There is no reason to do that.

What lots of adults consider to be "mature" isn't mature at all but you can't deny that if a kid is quiet or they do things that you ask them to do without much of a fuss, they're considered smarter, and generally more "mature". The same way, if a child raises less of a fuss and lets things happen, they're considered "mature" or just easier to handle.

It's unhealthy, yes. It's terrible, I agree, but a lot of the times, adults don't give a shit because they're bad people. My initial point in this was that the commenters who were talking about the kid getting hurt seemed to want the kid to be very quiet, and not like a child at all.

As well as that, you might say that you're pretty sure that they're overstating, but I don't know that. You don't know that. It might be a joke, an overstatement, but I personally don't find jokes or exaggerations about hitting/yelling at kids very funny. Of course, if that's your brand of humour, then as long as it stays as just words, that's fine but a lot of people wouldn't consider that very funny. Especially in the way that they've written all the ranting comments about how they would just leaver her to possibly die in the forest.

I-
I guess I see where you're coming from?
I don't agree with you, if only because I've been told I'm a bleeding heart and I end up empathising very easily with everyone, and I agree that children can be annoying and you can have urges to yell or hit them, but I don't think venting at a fictional character is a very good coping mechanism or anything.

I don't like how people talk about hitting kids, because a) it's not funny, b) there's not real reason to do that and c) It's immature and childish to talk about how you want to hit someone for hurting a character.

See, I get where your coming from, but by your logic, I should be allowed to hate any character for any reason without getting any form of disagreement other than a general "agree to disagree" type of thing. But that's also wrong?

Let's take Sangwoo for example. He's a fictional character, and if I expressed liking him, people would be right to debate me or argue with me, because that mindset of liking him is wrong. He's a bad person. Yeah, he's fictional, but so what? That doesn't make him good. I'm wrong for liking a bad character. As a person.

You can like asshole characters. That's common. I understand. But you need to add that you don't see them as a person. The same way, you should say that you don't see the kid in the manhwa as a kid, but just a plot point or a trigger for the plot.

But people aren't doing that, they're relating this character who is a kid, with real children, saying things like "This is why I don't like kids." and etc. I think that's fine. But the people who are talking about how they would leave her to die, yell at her or whatever really don't seem like they're not aware that she's a child.

The same way, if you express violent urges towards characters (which I don't have a fundamental problem with, I think everyone does it to some extent) I tend to get a little concerned. If a character is an asshole on purpose and knows how to be decent, but doesn't because they're a dick and an all around terrible person, then yeah! I guess I would break his legs? But if a character has done something on accident, really doesn't mean to hurt anyone, then no.

I judge characters like I would judge people. That's actually incredibly common. I'm not being too emotional, or anything. I'm making sense. You might feel attacked because I don't approve of you venting on a character, but at the end of the day, I don't really care as long as you aren't hurting any kids in real life.

I might not agree that venting your frustrations about kids on a fictional character is good, and I might think that something you should work out in therapy or something, but really, in the end, I do not give a shit unless you are going to hurt a kid.

Also, venting in this way really seems unhealthy since one day you could explode on a a kid or just a person who doesn't deserve it. Please, check out therapy, it's actually pretty good as long as you don't have suicidal thoughts because self-harming thoughts and desires have to be reported by the therapist, but other than that it's all good.

Most people in the comment are saying how much they're annoyed by her and hate her. There is absolutely no problem to be annoyed or hating a fictional character. Especially if it's only a side character that we don't care about bc we're focused on the main story. How could you know what's healthy and what's not ? Just bc you don't understand doesn't mean we are wrong and telling to someone that they need to have a therapy bc you cannot dissociated fiction and reality is fucked up. Just bc we don't care about a fictional kid doesn't mean that we would have the same reaction in front of a real kid. It's bc she's fictional that we allowed ourself to express some type of emotions that we would never express if this whole situation was real. If you can't distinguish fiction and reality and treat this side character as a real human being, then that's your problem but don't try to sermon those who don't treat fiction as equal as reality.

"by your logic, I should be allowed to hate any character for any reason without getting any form of disagreement other than a general "agree to disagree" type of thing" = yes ? You are allowed to like or dislike any fictional character ????? We're not talking about Hitler ? who is a real humans who actually did harmed real people ?
Nobody is saying that Sangwoo is a noce person, people like him simply bc he's hot. He's a horrible person but HE IS hot. Bc he's fictional, people have the right to be attracted to his appearance ?
There is absolutely nothing unhealthy to vent your frustration on fictional character tho ? What's unhealthily is to vent your frustration on actual people ? Like, I really can't understand your logic.
Many people didn't say they'd hit her, they just say that they're annoyed by her and people like u are telling them to get some therapy bc they're fucked up ? Like, they can hate her bc she's not real and she'd not be affected by any of our exaggerated comments bc sh's not real ? As I already said, we don't treat fiction as equal as reality bc unlike you we can dissociate fiction and reality.

No?? I'm not talking about liking them because they're hot, I'm talking about liking them as a character. Or glossing over the fact that he was an abusive person because he's hot. I know that some people just like how hot he is and disagrees with his personality, but I'm not talking about them, I'm talking about people who actively (or passively I suppose) idolise his behaviour because they like him as a character.

I should be reprimanded if I like a character that is bad because I like their character. It's an entirely different matter if it's just that you think they look attractive or whatever, but if you like a character even if they're bad, that's bad.

And it can be considered unhealthy to vent on a character to an extent. The point of a therapist is so that you don't vent on a character. It's not fucked up? Not in a big way or anything, but it could be harmful to the person and the people around them. Getting therapy isn't even a "hey you're broken, so talk to this person." therapy is literally venting but the person is agreeing to listen to you and also giving you advice on how to deal with your emotions properly.

Again, I'm not talking about most people, I'm talking about the ones that said they were going to hit her. And possibly leave her to die. And of course fiction isn't the same as reality, but to an extent, it can mirror reality and can trigger empathy in a lot of readers. It triggered my empathy because I have a soft stop towards children and that is why I am mad at all these people who are saying they would leave her because it's not logical or a generally nice thing to do.

Yes, they could not be meaning it, but really, what reason other than "they do mean it a little bit at least" would they have to write it and post it? It's not funny, there's literally no actual reason to post it. If it's obviously sarcastic, then I do get the joke a little bit. It's dark humour. But people writing paragraphs about how they wouldn't care about the kid is a little much, don't you think?

Also, most of the time, I can't tell if people are being serious or not, because people on this site are often assholes. They are. They do shitty things (like the entire fetishizing lgbt+ people thing) and have wrong/misinformed opinions (which I suspect is because they're teenagers) and that's fine to an extent but sometimes they joke about things that are serious in an insensitive way and I get why. But that doesn't mean that they're right and someone should tell them that they're wrong.
