So what if they are "trying" to create "sympathy" for Viraj .

It doesn't matter as long as your not feeling sorry for him ! 😛

I will repeat what I said before.

They had created sympathy for Viraj long before. This is nothing new. They are not trying to create sympathy for Viraj. They've already done so.

Yeah. But it's disturbing nonetheless. Especially when you read the response from young men. Response like "I'm trying to be just like you, Viraj".

Aya, I think that the issue for most people is that in "trying to create sympathy for Viraj", the writers are stepping on dangerous ground. You see, there are men out there who've openly declared that they worship Viraj. They see him as a role model.

There's a lot at stake here than just annoying one group of viewers. The writers are dealing with a social issue -- domestic violence. And trying to create sympathy for a character such as Viraj who is the abuser, it'll present a very wrong and damaging message.

I have no idea how I managed to miss this topic 😆😲

But seeing that I already wrote a debate on something similar, I'll keep it short.

It is clear that while CVs managed to maintain a grey character in the earlier days of the show, Viraj turned more and more towards the dark side as the scope of those affected by his deeds increased relentlessly and so did the atrocity of his actions - he lost all control of what kind of pain he was inflicting and on whom and that to me is unredeemable.

I guess they've realized now that Viraj has gone to the dark side completely and they are trying to shift him back to grey with both the viewers as well as Janvi. But I just want to say one thing, if his amnesia turns out to somehow be real although I highly doubt that, and Janvi sympathizes with him, I'm sorry but neither Janvi will gain my sympathy nor Viraj.

And to wrap it up, no I never try to put down Viraj because I know for someone to become what he is, they must have endured something terrible themselves. I just hate to see that he had a caring family, he had Janvi, he had his mother -- all these people who understood that something was wrong with him and they forgave him for his actions because they knew he needed treatment but he STILL didn't accept their help and succumbed to his dark side. That, to me, is what made him evil. The fact that he knows he needs help but turns it down repeatedly.

Right. So let's not beat around the bush shall we. It's obvious that this is referring to mystic.

Because criticaleyes' posts, the post which actually is the most problematic for many (the slave comment) had been posted weeks back. This thread was dormant.

So suddenly there's a reply. No problem. And a whole lot of replies. Also no problem.

Then I come in and post because I was misquoted.

Mystic only added to my point. It was very much on topic. And why shouldn't she come in and add her point? This thread has no 'attraction' for her or me. It's not her fault that a whole group here automatically labels anything she writes as "wrecking the debate." There was the earlier instance on this thread itself. Where all she did was bring up a valid point. And of course the group comes terming it as not contributing to the "healthy debate."

Apparently healthy debate is limited in who can post, and what type of points can be brought up.

How nice!
