Tumblr crosspost (27 August 2020)

I reblogged a post about how redemption arcs are not equivalent to "having a character arc," like a basically good person becoming an even better one, or whatever the fandom purity brigade was going on about. I tagged it:

#thiiiis #if they haven't done anything all that bad it ISN'T REDEMPTION #and it is fine to dislike redemption arcs as a trope! but i reallyyyy wish people would just say so #instead of trying to twist the term beyond all recognition #like... people who think darcy has a redemption arc or whatever the fuck
