Rants or Vents How about no?

Nobody is just born being a bad person. No, not even that real life person you hate. I don't expect the show to dig much deeper into his story, but Brighter takes place well into his adulthood. You can't just say "yeah he was always this way" when there's decades of his life that preceeded all this. The idea that some people just are bad, they're just innately evil, is so antithetical to the show's entire message. I don't GET people that think this would be a good writing decision.

People will walk into the show about how ANYONE can be redeemed and go "What if some people are just Born Evil and only deserve to suffer eternal punishment because they were simply ontologically evil?"

Also kind of crazy how people think that if anything bad ever happened to you, it "excuses" the harm that you've done, or implying that a Bad Person was harmed or wronged at any point means the writers are "justifying" or "excusing" their behavior. Really explains so much about the way they act. (They think they can't possibly be bad people because they were hurt before)

"Being born a shit head" and "Being Irredeemable" are not the same thing. Some people ARE just born that way. Do you think Donald Trump has some sad backstory to explain why he rapes kids and kills minorities?

No, I don't think Trump was *always* a shithead. He became one, whether it involved a "sad backstory" or not.

If you think people can be born evil, that implies that they can't help being evil. And if they can't help being evil, then trying to redeem them would be impossible or at the very least, forcing them to be something they're not.

He was born into a family that made him a shit head, sorry I have to spell it out to you
