Sick of ppl saying they're sick of ppl mischaracterizing [insert name here]

Hey! If you already saw this post, It's being posted again because reddit deleted my account for "suspicious activity" and then took all of my posts and comments out of the algorithm. Thank you reddit <3

Not one single person is going to have the same interpretations of a character as another. Most of the time I see people arguing this, its over specific interpretations. How you see a character is based off of your OWN experiences, and ESPECIALLY someone like Dazai who is written specifically so that no one can understand his thought process, who never gets a POV in any stories and who had only opened up one single time to Oda and Ango at Lupin. You do not have the correct grasp on his character any more than the person who you're arguing with.

A lot of the time, people are getting mad over jokes. Yes it seriously cuts down on Chuuya's character to say that "He's my angry little baby boy who can do know wrong" but you know what? He is. Sometimes its fun to cut characters down to the most surface level traits and mock them. You aren't more intelligent than the person who said "Omg Dazai's just like me fr we're both suicidal". That comment can be annoying, but also, that doesn't mean that they don't get his character or they think that's all there is to him.

Someone who dislikes your favourite character is not going to have done the analysis that you have. They are not going to understand what makes them tick. That is FINE.

Are there some true mischaracterizations, like saying literally any character in bsd is flat/not developed or that Dazai is a poor representation of/mocks suicidal ideation? Yes. But like come on. People get way too mad about this. You can discuss your interpretations of a character without ridiculing the other person, or vague posting about how only you understand their character. If I gotta see one more tiktok of someone sadly looking off to the side of their camera with text being like "When people say blah blah blah about character" I'm going to break my phone
