Thank you c:
I got that idea from the fact that I constantly see people tearing down statues or attempting to cancel dead actors for out of context reasons like the woman who played Dorothy for wearing black face... only for people to reveal that she did it because she was forced to.
I'm doing a story where it's happening to this one character and yeah, while they're bigoted, the people attempting to erase them from history are passive aggressive classist racists. So it's like... do they REALLY hate them for that or are they just looking for an excuse to bash this person for being a specific race and for like... being raised in a craphole like Section 8.
But... in their personal life they're trying to be the best person they can. In That Stick Figure Isekai (which takes place in the afterlife), it's revealed that they TOTALLY would've changed had given the chance. That's another fun question to ask too! I remember a priest talking about how in Heaven, you'll TOTALLY see your enemies there while the people you like may go to Hell and I thought it was really fascinating to also ask "Okay, but what if this hated character somehow winds up in Heaven??? You don't know ALL of their story. How do they feel about their legacy being scrapped for holding certain beliefs? How do they feel about characters they loved not giving them comfort in the afterlife??? How would they interact with their enemies?".
Morality is fun to write :v
