Cuz that's bullshit
I respectfully ask that you do not try to read too deep into what you interpret as my tone, and certainly not try to attach words to it that I did -not- write.
I was letting people know why I was conflicted in the most concise way I knew how without having to explain the whole context of my character's situation. I also wanted to avoid automatic responses that I have seen some people do without thinking through their answers.
Perhaps the only thing I did wrong was fail to explain my feelings in the best way possible. However, that is difficult when I am conflicted about something. The only purpose of my OP was to get honest feedback from others, not tell people what my opinion is. If I had a set opinion on this topic, I would never have started this thread.
I was responding specifically to your comment about how people have "agreed" before but then "at the last minute" wanted an out. Â That came across to me as slightly hostile, and I really, really do not think that people should feel obligated to give up a character they love. Â It happens more often than you might think, and it bothers me quite a bit.
Also, I never said you said any of those things. Â I said that people should not be shamed to do something like that.
