Song Lan in any songxue:

That and the fact that Xue Yang's whole "you only consider it wrong when I slaughter a clan because I'm not an important person" point even stronger, if you think about it lmao.

Xue Yang's flirting song.

Or is it a promise? >3

But yeah, I've been around fandom spaces for a long time but as far as I remember this is the first time I've ever met a genuine apologist.

Note, I love Wen Kexing so this isn't hate. It's just wild to me how people can justify such double standards.

While obviously Wen Kexing was portrayed in a much more sympathetic light due to the story revolving around his redemption, seeing as how it's much easier to redeem a character if you don't focus on how bad they are. We barely see any of the effects his actions have on others, even when we should.

I even pointed out that the biggest difference is how the narrative portrays these characters. XY is portrayed as a straight villain with little time given to sympathize with him and we see the harm he does to some of his victims in SL, XXC, and A-Qing. (continued)

I genuinely wish I was making that up, but nope. That person keeps bringing up basic teenage vandalism in a conversation about torture and mass murder.

It's what they're trying to use to prove that Xue Yang is inherently cruel while Wen Kexing is not.

I have no words.

(continued)

On top of that, all of Wen Kexing's crimes which include wiping out multiple entire clans for revenge and killing a lackey for fun had a purpose and were a means to an end, unlike Xue Yang who suddenly has no purpose to his cruelty and crimes.

Because he kicked over a market stall.
