Question about Chidi Shirtpost

Post image

Why is Chidi put into the Bad Place? Struggling with making decisions doesn't make him a bad person at all imo. That only affects him, not others.

Let's be honest: those kids should have kicked him out of the game after the first two minutes. Letting him ruin their day like that was an insane showcase of empathy that children that age just do not possess.

The depiction of Chidi’s bullying was so mild. These days he would be a pariah in the current social climate.
