Screenshot of a tweet by user @binghelovebot. The tweet says: "The damage 'cool motive still murder' and those articles about why stanning villains is problematic did to a generation of fandom character analysis"ALT
Second tweet in the thread. It reads: "There are times when it can be interesting to try and say HOW moral a character is, but 90% of the time it's less interesting than literally any other aspect of their character, including just analyzing WHAT their moral compass is."ALT
Third tweet in the thread. It reads: "When your character analysis consists of taking a character doing something that is both considered bad in real life and in the narrative and saying 'That's Bad' you are the most boring person in the world.ALT
Fourth and last tweet in the thread: "You can dislike woobification (which has lost all meaning) but I'd take a thousand overly soft depictions of villains that at least TRY to analyze their motives and backstrory than I would a single 'but they have agency and chose to do the Bad Thing >:('."ALT
