[konpeitoqueen]

let's say A is anyone and B is someone who treats A terribly by society's standards

which is dumb to follow but for the sake of argument

so B gets into trouble and by A's point of view they've done nothing but horrible things to them

and A still helps B out of trouble without any way of using the situation to make them 'owe one' or blackmail

what exactly could A be thinking?

[...Saionji is not very good at all this anonymous business.

What's up with all this, though?]

That there's a moral high ground they should walk.

Or that they hope bee will change their ways after the experience.

Or that they pity bee and have never been so wounded by their acts to take them to heart.

Or they're simply too kind for their own good.

Or they've been fooled into believing they should tolerate the treatment.

I hold to eye for an eye myself but I've known people who would think all those things.

[...She gets what you mean anyway, and she's too exhausted to point it out. Saionji's still a bit miffed to see Walter, but she has to stay anon.]

i guess they could be too kind for their own good. they haven't been fooled, so that's definitely out

A definitely takes it to heart

[...]

i agree with you, but A isn't an idiot. for better or for worse, so their actions make no sense because they can't possibly believe any of that

If you're after specifics why not just ask them.

[artificialrose]

There are a few reasons. It all depends on what kind of "anyone" A is.

If I were A... Maybe it's because no matter how horrible someone is, sometimes there's kinds of trouble that no one should have to deal with. Maybe I just want to be the better person.

...If B were someone in particular I'm thinking of, I'd help her out because I understand that despite what happened, the way she became was something out of her control. She was only doing things by what she knew.

[Garry.

Garry, that stings.]

but what if it's something B can't change

no matter what

A isn't an idiot and they must know that so why would they imprison themselves like that when they could've run free?

they're not a fool with a bleeding heart so what other motives would they have?

[artificialrose]

Sometimes that's just the way things are! Even if B can't change, I still wouldn't want her to suffer. I'm not that cruel a person.

How is A imprisoning themselves? There are some kinds of people that will just help someone else and think "Okay that's it. It doesn't mean anything."

But if A isn't a bleeding heart, then are they the exact opposite or are they just average?

[freshprints]

That A is the better person, and therefore superior to B.

Even if they never overtly use it against B, A will always have the personal satisfaction of knowing how pitiful B is by comparison.

[konpeitoqueen]

that could be true.

but what kind of idiot would endure all that mistreating for 'personal satisfaction'?

[freshprints]

What sort of person feels it necessary to mistreat others for personal satisfaction?

[text]

[tearsofademon]

A doesn't like suffering. Doesn't matter who.

[konpeitoqueen]

can't they just run away from it if it's not them, then?

[tearsofademon]

Maybe. But what's more bothersome: taking a minute to help out, or knowing you could have helped and didn't?

[enjoymyatelier]

To be honest, I'd not worry about it and be happy about my good luck.

[konpeitoqueen]

except they could've still done it for ulterior motives no one's found yet

or just plotting to take A down themselves

[...and]

this is a hypothetical situation

[SHE WILL FOREVER SAY THAT OK]

[enjoymyatelier]

Sometimes, what you see is what you get. Some people are just doormats, after all.

And of course it is.

i think it depends dude i mean
a could be in a good mood
or they could just be a people pleaser

[konpeitoqueen]

what kind of people pleaser do you have to be to help support someone who brought you down

that must have been a really good mood or a really stupid person

neither are true

[synchroswim]

or a really smart one. ever hear of the phase keep your friends close and enemies closer?

_{[Except that... never really worked for him back home. Some people could be reasoned with, but then there's also Larxene. Euuugh, that lightning witch...]}

They're either an idiot that doesn't realize B is mistreating them or they're just too damn forgiving.

[konpeitoqueen]

[A straightforward answer. Saionji likes that.]

what if they're not that stupid though

maybe forgiving but A has fought back before

[majorcrotchgrab]

Sometimes people think they can bring out the good in a person. But sometimes a person just doesn't have good in them.

If B hasn't changed, they probably never will and A is just wasting their time and energy.

Voice

[zero_charisma]

Sounds to me that either A's got some kinda angle, or he's a bleedin' heart. Can't really tell unless I know more about'em.

[The irony.]

[text forever]

[konpeitoqueen]

[The irony... it stings...]

well let's say A probably isn't an idiot then

ulterior motives could be it

basically, most likely not out of compassion or idiocy

[TEXT]

[diamondo]

they could just be a nice person
not everyone expects something in return you know
or maybe they are planning on using it later
it's hard to tell sometimes

[konpeitoqueen]

maybe they are

but why be nice to someone if by your point of view they've done nothing but terrible things to you?
