#Maybe I've just been projecting my “abuse is bad” worldview onto bsd and seeing things that aren't there

Ok no I'm actually still talking about the Asagiri interview because what about Beast???

What about Oda being a better mentor than Dazai? Mori saying that abuse is not a legitimate teaching method but in fact the most heinous thing an adult can do to a child? Oda telling Dazai his motives mean jack shit if he had to hurt the Akutagawas to achieve his goal?

Like I know bsd has never been the best at handling themes of abuse but I was also never really under the impression that we were supposed to think what Dazai did was right.
