#all our wrong todays

I’m tired of Sad Adult Male Literary Protagonists repeatedly talking about how terrible and annoying they are, because they are terrible and annoying and acknowledging it does not endear me to them.

from now on, the only time male protagonists can complain about being bad at stuff and feeling like they’re annoying others are in the following situation:

• when they’re teenagers
• because teenagers are annoying
• but they’re supposed to be because they’re teenagers and they’re still growing and developing
• they’re also bad at stuff because they’re teenagers
• because they’re still learning and growing

IF YOUR SAD ADULT MALE LITERARY PROTAGONIST DOES NOTHING MORE THAN ACKNOWLEDGE HOW TERRIBLE HE IS WITHOUT ACTUALLY PUTTING IN EFFORT TO IMPROVE AND THE PLOT JUST HANDS HIM A BETTER LIFE, SHUT UP FOREVER AND GO TO THERAPY
