i hate seeing people misinterpret my hate, no, I’m hating for the right reason not THAT reason

People always excuse a characters actions because they went through something bad. This is about TMA. Martin Blackwood did bad things, and I don’t like him, I think that’s a perfectly fine take.

If you knew someone in real life who dealt with trauma, would that excuse them paying it forward to you? Would it mean your allowed to dislike, or hate, them? Yes! Because they’ve wronged you, or someone else. You can very obviously sympathize, and hope they get better, but your under no obligation to LIKE them.

Martin blackwood went through many horrible things even from when he was a kid, does that excuse him being manipulative along with many other things? NO!!! Does that mean your not allowed to like him? ALSO NO!!! You like who you like, and someone hates who they hate.

This applies to Jon also, Jon was an abusive boss and a neglectful friend, he was also in a neglectful household and eventually, you know. That in no way excuses anything he did, can you hate Jon for that? Obviously! Can you also still like him? YES!!!
