So Nicely Put - Tumblr Posts

Anyways, I just want to make clear that woobification and sympathizing and acknowledging a character’s trauma are not synonymous.You can watch the new episode and acknowledge that Dennis is uncomfortable with Mac’s advances and agree that Mac was in the wrong here. But similarly, you should be able to turn around and say ‘ hey dennis set up this entire fucking seminar so he could continue raping women without getting caught’. It’s the dichotomy of sunny, the tenderness/vulnerably of it’s characters mixing with the staggering grotesquery of their morbid personas. if you couldn’t sympathize with the Gang then nobody would watch the show.
