Haha, there’s always next time for making good decisions, right? :D
I feel like the "bad guy who's a murderer is (gasp) bad!" discourse is kind of a recent development
This is what I’m finding so fascinating! There were apparently ship wars that sound so modern—the fandom is Tokyo Babylon and X/1999, and people were discoursing over Seishirou/Subaru vs. rival ship Kamui/Subaru. I’m so amused by people recounting how some fans would be horrified by the concept of the unhealthy, abusive Seishirou/Subaru ship. No one is coming out of TB or X thinking that this is a healthy, fluffy relationship in canon! Of course, some of us also aren’t thinking of it as a chance to write darkfic. *shrug*
