I’m gonna take Kipperlilly from some of yall 👀 you can like a villain without trying to clear their name. She objectively is a murderer and a villain this season. It does not make you a “””””bad Person””””” if you like her. You do not have to try and age her down or make her out to be innocent or gentle or sweet or misunderstood. You do not get to use her mental health to excuse her actions either.
At this point, a lot of these post are getting into slippery slope territory, especially concerning mental health. You can be mentally ill and still understand right from wrong. Infantilizing people struggling with their mental health can cause harm. There are mentally ill people that can/will/do go their entire lives without blaming and trying to harm others because of what they’re going through.
Like I feel like we’ve officially hit Joaquin Phoenix Joker levels of ‘we live in a society’ discourse. Yes, there are things that suck and living with mental health issues and having that make your life harder sucks. But then funneling that feeling of unfairness and frustration into harming other people is not okay or justifiable. It’s a clear sign that someone went untreated or their mental health was not taken seriously enough soon enough.
There are a lot of young and impressionable people in the d20 community (a community that is overwhelmingly very supportive and cognizant of mental health) that will see the KLCK discourse and take some of these things to heart. Please be mindful in what you post. She is a fictional character and in context of the story, instead of getting further help or seeking better treatment for her mental health, she chose to harm people. Some responsibility does fall on her in that regard. Not all, but some. There is a point where things get very concerning when you become a danger to yourself or others, Kipperlilly is in that place to be very clear. She needs help.
Yes she is underage, and I do think Jawbone has a heavy responsibility to either reach out to her parents to report her behavior and figure out a treatment plan for her immediately. This never happened, even when she admitted to wanting to kill Kristen. She continued on, untreated and without her rage issues not being fully addressed. Then she murdered someone.
Infantilizing Kipperlilly to absolve her of her wrongdoing isn’t the convo we should be having. Figuring out where she falls on the morality scale does nothing, she’s one of the villains of the season, by that metric, she’s not a great person (not because of her rage disorder, because of her actions.) There are complexities to her. The conversation we should be having is why not a single faculty member or adult that interacted with her and witnessed this behavior didn’t say “woah hey, let’s pump the breaks and get you assessed for a few things and get to the root of what’s going wrong.”
When you see someone struggling, reach out, assess the situation. If you’re an adult and are in a position to help, don’t hesitate to do so or notify a parent or guardian in their life so they get them help. If you’re underage and see a peer struggling, check in and if something sticks out to you as concerning, reach out to an adult that can help or find someone to help. Don’t enable violent or harmful behavior. /Please/ that person can end up hurting themselves or someone else.

henry (n'a jamais eu d'enfance) (arrivé directement au stade adulte) (repassé seulement par l'adolescence quand il a découvert sa vraie nature) qui s'occupe des enfants de la meute est-ce que vous comprenez seulement. pour henry castafolte les enfants sont une fascination parce qu'ils n'arrêtent pas de poser des questions (comme lui) (il n'est pas humain) (mais les enfants posent des questions) (tout le temps) (comme lui). pour henry castafolte les enfants représentent l'humanité la plus proche de sa curiosité. henry castafolte est le gardien de 55 enfants dans son cœur qu'il n'a pas

ok I know we all hate the ln 1 adaption but that one scene where kunikida stops in the middle of the road to answer a phone call and Atsushi freaks out and Dazai doesn't even react is so funny to me,,, like Dazai's reaction implies that kunikida does that enough for him to be unphased like? why can't anyone in the ada actually drive help them-

I got into a car accident yesterday and my very fucked up car is currently parked in front of my apartment and when I was coming home from work today (in my rental car) a kid that lives in my apartment complex who I've never met stopped me and asked what happened to my car. I told him I didn't look before I turned and got t boned (figured it might at least teach the kid to be responsible when he's old enough to drive you know?) and he told me that his friend got into a car accident last year and went to the hospital. I told him that really sucks and I'm sorry to hear that. And he told me that he's glad I'm okay. And then he ran back to play basketball with his friends.

I think the thing is. Honestly I don’t even hate the vast majority of CCs but God they were dangerously irresponsible with safeguarding. Like it’s most obvious with people like Dream or Ninja who actually made the sexual jokes about teenagers which is like. Really Fucking Bad. But a lot just sat there and watched and that’s not something they’re off the hook for. This stuff would get you investigated if you worked any other job like there’s incredibly strict laws to do with safeguarding around underage people because predators will exploit any loophole to hurt people, but the only reason we avoided downright fucking tragedy with the kids in the mcyt scene was pure luck, and even then we've heard at least a few were mistreated by older creators and weren’t able to speak up about it for years. And like manipulation and intimidation like Wilbur did with Freddie and Bill are far from the worst thing that could happen but I think it’s undoubtable that the environment treating inappropriate actions of adults towards minors as the peak of comedy Did Not Help
