Lona want to read (All 35)

I totally understand not liking Ben (he's not exactly my fave either) but! I think it's important and very interesting to see where he's coming from. Without this backstory, we lack a lot of context for basically all his scenes in the entirety of the story. For someone so integral to the plot, that would just feel like bad writing.
If you don't like it, don't read it but I believe this is the right thing to do. Every character plays a part in this story. It's only fair that they get their share of screentime. I also think that this backstory is written really interestingly, so even if he's not my favorite character, I am absolutely enjoying it and I am curious to see how this ties back into the main story and into his behavior.
Ben wasn't written in the most likeable way and I think that is precisely why it's so interesting to see his backstory and to finally gain some understanding of why he acts the way he does. It doesn't excuse any of his actions (not to me, at least) but it does shed some light on his motives and the way he feels.
At the end of the day, we are all entitled to our own opinions. I just don't really see the point in people complaining. You're on a free site. The author is not going to see this. The author will not bend to your wishes. Either wait until it's over and read then (if it bothers you so), read along and enjoy it for what it is, or just work through those feelings.
The notes themselves aren't an issue at all and I thank you for translating it but using "schizo" as an insult is so insanely whack and offensive
What’s that mean
He deserves it
i think they mean it’s an insult to actually schizophrenic people since he doesn’t actually display signs of schizophrenia
why do they take it personally it’s not about them but sorry if that offended someone
Well maybe because they know someone who is schizophrenic or they are themself. Generally using disorders as insults isn’t funny it’s simply offensive.
Really put such a bad taste in my mouth
ok
it builds an incorrect stigma. who knows if they are or aren’t? shouldn’t it be the same either way
your friend that’s woke:
Your friend that's a decent person:
It's offensive. They're equating his unhinged behavior to a disorder that has nothing to do with it. Schizophrenic people already have to push back on a lot of harmful stereotypes and using a disorder as an insult is simply a shitty thing to do
rt!!! (also is that xl in ur pfp)
It is!
sending love the scrap god is even here being “too woke”
