This is a significant distinction people overlook.
Ive said countless times, I don’t dislike them as characters, I don’t dislike the fact the MC is interested in them. I just wouldn’t date them. I don’t trust cheaters and have zero interest in them.
But for some reason people think if you don’t like them, you must dislike them... and then the snide comments and facepalms come out and I’m sitting here being told I don’t understand a story, I’m a simp into basic bitches with no appreciation for complex women all because I don’t trust cheaters.
