      I have no idea how they screwed it up so much. It’s like they were terrified of making Kerrigan a bad guy, so they had her feel sowwy about all the murder and that makes it ok.

        Many such cases in liberal storytelling. Between that and an insufferably toxic and tribalistic fandom, I’m kind of glad I hadn’t tried to get into Steven Universe.

        Starcraft 2, mainly. There’s layers to that bad writing cake, but the old “atrocity enjoying villain just needs to be cuddled by DudeBro McManPain to be ‘saved’” is there and it reeks, and there is also “actually there’s a secret group of masterminds that are behind every bad thing in the world” that sounds like contemporary “but RUZZIA” cope too.
