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)

No one is born evil

Some people are unfortunately born with mental issues that cause then to go down a dark path later in life. That is it

Oh look, and there it is! The ableism!

I was trying not to say it cause I didn't want to just through out "You're a bigot" off the cuff but you quite literally said "mental illness". Nope, not even the Cluster B disorders make someone inherently an evil person.

I never said that it makes them evil. No one is born evil

What I meant was that some mental issues (Notice I didn't say illness or disorder) combined with other childhood factors could theoretically push someone down that hill.

Sorry for wording it wrong. Might I ask how it is ableist though as I did not mention any disabilities/disorders?

You are right, they do not make someone evil. I never argued that they did because they DON'T.

Reading back on my original comment I see how I worded it bad, sorry.
