Ok but why does the camel's back have to break? You are completely missing my point. You don't have to "cheer" for anybody. You can be invested in a character without having to cheer for them or against them.

Why do people think everything is binary? People are not good people or bad people. They are just... People. With good and bad qualities. Humans are complex. The fact that you are just like "ope they did something I don't like, I'm not cheering for them anymore" is pretty concerning to me and very bizarre.
This post is perfectly emblematic of a trend I've been seeing a lot lately. People HAVE to categorize characters into either good or bad and that's just not how life works. It's quite concerning, and probably a symptom of the increasing tribalism and polarization of society.

It's truly a masterpiece. I reread it again this year and it hit even harder.

Big Brother is probably the biggest one I hear on a regular basis, other than biblical allusions.
