>>115954060>>115955121>aggressiveness comes from a righteous struggle against injustice and that he needs her to heal him>it's literally a fetish.I would be lying if I said I didn't get this fetish and yes, to a somewhat extend I do actually like it. BUT IT JUST SO RARELY DONE RIGHT or satisfying. I'm just so tired of them shit tier excuses like ''his mommy never loved him as a kid, feel sorry for me uwu so now I have an excuse to destroy the world uwu. The only recent character in cartoon media I can remember who has done this kind of character justice is Tom from SvtFoe, he was introduced as a bad boy with anger management issues, but later on faced himself and went through some amazing character development, for the girl he cared most about and for himself, he even ended up being my favorite character from the show.
It's just so common in shoujous (or really any asian romance media) that the jerk get's the girl, even though he's been a complete dick to her the entire series and only at the end is like ''I only bully you cuz I like you uwu'' or it all was a big misunderstanding, but then the fucker don't even apologize, yet he still get's the girl, fucking woho!
Some of my favorite characters are villains who their morally ambiguous action is a weapon necessary to pursue a goal bigger than themselves. But the characters we are talking about now isn't some evil master mind, just a some regular edgy bad boy character.
Though who know, maybe I would have liked Carl, I can't tell atm since we never got a full length show to flesh out all the characters.
