#the VC are not applicable to that mindset I‘m afraid

I just wanted to ask how do you deal with liking a character when they have done atrocious, inhumane things. I've been an IWTV fan since last year and sometimes I find myself struggling with the morality of it all. When I find myself empathising with a character sometimes I can't help but think about the terrible things they have done.

I know they're fictional and the whole discourse around it but I wanted to know from you how you deal with the whole moral side of it?

… they‘re fictional.

There is no moral dilemma exploring dark topics in fiction. On the contrary, fiction has always been used to hold the mirror up on all but especially the ugly parts of humanity.

This is no different.

The characters go through it to hold the mirror up - and the show grabbed us by the neck to make us look.

That‘s all there is to it.
