I would have scanned every post to give my pov to defend him.when i can ignore so many posts why can't you guys ignore my small comment.I only reply to those which i see on top whenever i login. Let me know if you want to control where i post how can i post. What do you want me to post. Atleast i will move on to post where ppl will respect my thoughts. I believe it's an open forum. Neither i told her not to comment about him nor i am stopping her from posting.but i see you are trying to stop me just writing few sentences. Why do you want me to prevent me saying my point that "ITV is always been like this.it will be like this in future too"
Period.
I'm not trying to stop you from posting or commenting. You are free to do as you please. I just wanted to know why you justify all his problematic traits, actions, and words with the ITV excuse. I had noticed you say it multiple times. Thus, wanted to clarify that we do understand this fact, but we have the liberty to express our opinions, and we do so in hopes that perhaps some day, to someone, it might make a difference.
There have been some comments from you that I have liked, and I make sure to let people know what I like about them either verbally or thru hitting that like button, but I also wanted to voice what bugged me and why. I have got nothing against you. You are as much a stranger to me as anyone else on this forum whose posts I may admire.
Also, if you remember, we previously had a discussion where you tried to justify AB's actions comparing him to men on other ITV shows, and I said that does not justify anything. Just because others may be more wrong than I wouldn't make my wrongs right, now would it? Same applies to Abhimanyu Birla. Although he is a fictional character, the rules of morality don't change. We gotta hold him to the same standards we would any other person of our society. What's wrong IRL should be wrong on TV, as well.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I have no issues with negative and gray characters. All I am asking for is them to portray that as something wrong and undesirable rather than glorifying and normalizing it.
One last thing, you don't know the future anymore than I. Don't be so sure about the future of ITV. American TV wasn't the same 20-30 years ago, but things did change. Nothing is ever constant.
