“You know, I completely understand that Marinette can be wrong and show “creepy” or “stalkerish” behavior towards Adrien, but I really dislike it when people take EVERYTHING she does out of context or do not read into the plot/subtext at all.1). She’s a kid. If Chloe’s just a kid for being a bully who literally makes everyone’s lives with her cruelty and selfishness, then Marinette is also a kid for at best for being just creepy or a bit petty at times. Stop with the double standards just because Chloe “had it worse”. 2). She learns her lesson at the end of every episode or at least feels some remorse for her actions and at least TRIES TO FIX IT. That’s literally what the show is about, even if I DO agree that it’s not handled as good as it should be.3). Does anyone ever think that she keeps doing the things that she does because no one calls her out??? If what Marinette does is truly wrong, then wouldn’t (or shouldn’t) more people be calling her out on it then??? Sometimes people really aren’t going to realize what they do is wrong until someone tells them and they have consequences for said actions. 4). People act like that she’s worse or the only one who does these bad or uncomfortable things. I don’t think I have to even sit here and tell you why Chloe and Lila are crappy people. And Adrien nor Alya is any better in that case either. Not even Kagami at times. There are other badly written characters on this show, why just keep throwing Marinette under the bus??? Why isn’t Marinette allowed to be flawed and mess up, but other characters are? I understand that Marinette is to protagonist, but she’s still a child and growing. 5). Marinette has a schedule of ALL HER CLASSMATES, not just Adrien.6). If you’re going to blame Marinette for the way she turned out and never getting any consequences for her actions, then blame her creator then. He’s the one who created her. He’s the one who thinks that Marinette is prefect and does no wrong while having this “everything goes because she’s the protagonist” mentality and if anyone disagrees with him they get blocked.7). I honestly believe that a big part of salt fics and the reason why people truly feel sorry for Marinette to the point where they even start to believe that she doesn’t do anything wrong, is because of her unfair treatment in the show sometimes. Whether if it is by the creators, her friends, Lila, Chloe, or even her ADULT TEACHER, when the plot calls for it. She’s always the one to learn lessons and apologizing, even when it isn’t her fault. Her character is often assigned and ALWAYS the one who has to be the bigger person in situations that’s totally unfair to her. She’s the guardian and has a lot of responsibilities on her hands instead for being a normal teenager. Only just recently she’s starting to get help (Alya).8). It’s just bad writing honestly. It’s just bad writing for everyone. So just don’t blame Marinette for this shit.9). And honestly, I just think her positives outweigh her negatives. It’s the fact that she learns her lessons and at least tries to own up to what she does is what I like about her. She’s generally is a kind and compassionate person and does what she can to help others. Sure she messes up a lot, but again, who doesn’t in this show? Look, I’m not trying to say that Marinette is innocent. FAR FROM IT. But I just think people take things WAY out of proportion when it comes to Marinette sometimes, not even looking at the CONTEXT of the situations nor what happens right after.” -- source link
