Thank you so much for answering my Geto hate question. I didn't expect such a deep and detailed answer. I think a lot of people still fall for the "the curtains were blue" approach when it comes to engaging with characters in media. I don't believe it is a problem with people rooting for the bad/evil character, but more of the issue where that character has more complexities than that. Gege doesn't puts Geto in the same category of evil as Sukuna (cannibal) or Kenjaku (a person who has SA people) and that confuses people who want to present themselves as having very strict moral values. That's why we keep getting "Geto groomed the twins" posts or people saying he was going around killing a bunch a people for a decade (which only makes Gojo look bad in hindsight). This is also why there is so much shipping discourse in the jjk fandom. Instead of just saying you don't like a ship or t/b dynamic, people have to use trigger words like "misogyny" or "racists" to make themselves feel like they are right.

Of course!!! I love when I am sent a question that lets me yap my mouth off 🥹🥹♥️
And yes you get it exactly! Because the crimes he committed dont carry a grave value (killing in fiction is whatever lmao) they try to pile on other crimes which is sooo annoying like damn not every villain will do every heinous crimes and as you said instead of just disliking a dynamic or a ship let’s make this ship seem like a morally reprehensible crime in order to feel extra valid. It’s nonsense
