nah yeah i agree with you bai is like comedically awful and two faced
no mang, my point is 'isn't it interesting that people can cheer for someone doing exactly the same thing that they tear down someone else for'
i'm explicitly leaving motivation out of it because, duh, motivation is very important to how people pass judgement
i understand that that's why you made the comment, since there is a that double standard, which was why i put that there. people on here love seeing someone tear down a bad relationship if they cape for one side and hate the other. personally, i dont like either and think that both parties in the relationship should be settle it themselves, with outside assistance if need be. it just didnt happen ideally in this situation for luxia, who was being abused and demeaned in her household despite being the reason why that liang household is standing in the first place.
you say that like all relationships are good ones. i've seen plenty of relationships that are super unhealthy and absolutely should be broken up, and of the ones that were both people were almost invariably better off. but you're totally right, the whole attitude towards relationships and possessiveness is why i commented in the first place. sometimes someone who breaks up a bad marriage is a hero, sometimes they're a miserable shit. it's a bit easier to decide in this circumstance since there's no children involved, imo
i never said that all relationships are good ones, like nowhere does it say that. and i never said that abusive or unhealthy relationships shouldnt be broken up. what was wrong was that she knew the outcome of the drama would be that liang would make amends and decided to ruin that and cause the whole shitstorm in the first place. and also, this is a little personal, but growing up in a household with a father figure that was abusive towards my mom, i do know that people who break up marriages arent always good or bad, theyre just people trying their best to help. it was just bai that was absolutely in the wrong because not only did she not break the relationship in full, she caused more torment for luxia knowingly, like when she fake cried and threw tantrums and stuff then had liang sic at luxia for her own selfish gains.
my comment was more towards the nuance that was kind of missing in both of our comments ig. 'feminine pursuit in romance' and 'whorish home wrecker' are both big parts of society as a whole and the fact that one is seen as cute and the other as morally wrong almost always depends on the circumstances. like there was a manga on here that i read once and dropped because the mc was a girl who wouldnt stop bothering the ml even though he was already happy in a relationship. it was gross and exactly the type of trope that could have easily landed that girl in the 'whorish home wrecker' but because she was meant to be rooted for, readers let it happen. i had to drop it cause the people were shit talking the gf when she was getting mad that this girl was intruding in their lives. so i think that that was the point we were going after, but please correct me if im wrong.
and yes, courtesan su has been and always will be the queen and ultimate baller of these stories.

Even the most horrible person the human race has ever seen Hitler was only able to gain power because Germans after ww1 were treated poorly and had generations of people disliking how the world treated them. Yes Hitler was bad but he was a monster the world allowed to be set lose and cause the damage he did.
please explain why you are using hitler as the moral crutch of your argument. why are you making it sound like it was the international bodies' fault that hitler came to power. yeah, vienna convention and shit but it wasnt them that planted the antisemitism and white supremacy that led to hitlers rise to power. the world didnt allow him to be let lose and cause the damage, half the world was in the shits from european and german colonialism and it wasnt like the jewish people of germany were letting him do fuck all that entire time instead of living in fear from another increase of violence that they already experience. so what do they have to do with that? and it wasnt 'generations' suffering, hitler was literally alive and fought during ww1 and rose to power in ww2, a total span of 21 years on the european side.
you might wanna reexamine why you think its okay to be using hitler as your gotcha point in a manhua about cheating men and completely ignoring the other more important factors that led to hitlers rise to power, other than 'germans felt entitled to having greater control over more colonies, helped jumpstart a war, and felt like utter shit when they suddenly werent doing so hot in the international market, so they let a genocidal, antisemitic asshole control the govt so they can get a taste of that sweet, sweet power again' .
