it's good that i already don't like jim as a guardian so i am not affected by wheather jim being homophobic in the previews is accurate or out of context, i do worry for little li ming though 😭

"but vi he's tryin-" no i have ZERO empathy and understanding for any bad guardian/parent. i don't care if you have trauma, i don't care if you're poor, i don't care about how difficult your like is, i don't care how much you love the kid but struggle to show it.

if you have to take care of a kid, you do so with love and affection and care regardless or your circumstances, which jim is not the best at, which automatically makes me dislike him as a character, no greys, only black & white.

yes you make mistakes as a parent, but you can always make it up to them, and it costs literally nothing to be kind. stop projecting your problems on your children

#vi.txt #sometimes shows hit too close to home and it hurts sksksks #thank you p'aof for depicting how frustrating it is to live in households with overbearing caretakers #yes its very real yes i still hate it #i agree with every argument of jim trying his best given his life age circumstances but those aren't reasons to condone his behaviour #just because its understandable doesn't mean its okay #because all that does is set a very dangerous precedent #there are parents who have gone through hell and a lot worse and still end up being a hundred times better and kinder #jim as a gay man should be protective of li ming because of how cruel the world is #instead of showing that same cruelty in his face in the name protection #you know all these things sound good that jim's intensions are good even if the way he conveys them isn't #but how are we forgetting that there's the mental health of a very real child at stake here who is only going to see the actions #moments like these are the ones that break you destroy you #stop making excuses for bad parenting it only makes it worse for children in abusive households to not feel guilty
