Unpopular opinion: Player 125 is living proof that society hates weak men, perhaps even more than bad men
Firstly, this is obviously a blanket statement and everything is nuanced. I just recently finished season 2 and the hate for this guy is really mind boggling to me. It’s actually pretty interesting though, and I wanted to genuinely know why this guy gets the amount of hate he does. I’ve even seen multiple people go as far as saying he was their MOST hated character, or/and they hated him more than objective bad people and sometimes even murderers like thanos, player 124, the frontman, etc. Another common discourse is that he should “man up”, as he is a grown man of 27 years old. Despite that not being a point that is relayed about any other character. Even in the scene where most of his hate stems from (where he watches player 380 be killed instead of helping), this scene somehow causes people to be angrier at him than they are at the actual killer himself! Lmao! Im not sure how that makes sense🤣 This is confusing to me. Breaking it down, the hate for him seems to stem from: 1. The way that he lets himself get bullied by thanos and player 124 despite being a grown man 2. The way he just let player 380 die in front of him without jumping in to save her and 3. Just his overall shy mannerisms (lmao). 4. Him not taking player 380s hand during the 3rd game and instead running with thanos and Nam-gyu. To me, these 4 things aren’t even close to as bad as what some others on the show have done. There is quite literally no reason to have him as your most hated character in the show besides toxic masculinity. In my opinion: if you would have kept his character the exact same but made him a woman instead, he wouldn’t irritate people to the extent that he does currently, if at all. If you disagree, let me know why I’m wrong! To the people that have him as their most hated character, why do you hate him more than the actual killer in the crime scene he witnessed? If it is for letting himself be bullied, why do you not hate player 333 just as much? If it is for his shy/timid mannerisms, why do you not hate Young-mi as much? If it is a combination, why not hate the dozens of objectively worse people in the show? I’m actually curious to know! Sorry for the essay, this is an interesting topic to me and I’m interested to see what you guys think! Let me know if I’m missing something, because I would honestly love if I was! Although it’s just a show, I think that real opinions can sometimes come out when discussions are had. At the end of the day, props to the writers for making such a great show with complex characters that actually get people heated when discussing them😂
