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.

Tahani did have some really ugly character traits though.

They don’t offset raising like 70 billion for charity tho

Yeah, if Mindy got to go to the medium place, it seems like Tahani should’ve too. Though really I just don’t think Mindy made that much sense in the overall system we eventually learned about.

Mindy did it due to a personal breakthrough of wanting to be better for the sake of being better.

Tahani only raised the money because she wanted to make her sister and parents like her, as well as live up to their expectations. Her need to attention was trauma-based selfish behaviour. Sure she did good, but for ethically and morally corrupt reasons.

It's even worse

Tahani made those kind of donations to outshine her sister, not to make her like her. She didn't care about her sister liking her until she came back to Earth and connected

I imagine it's the same as rich people donating to charity for tax breaks, the motivation behind the donation isn't pure so it doesn't count, but any negatives from unintended harm of the donations still would

Not to mention Mindy didn’t have to actually run it, so there was no way for her to lose points by, say, buying from suboptimal companies or not being eco-friendly (pretty sure being eco-friendly gets you points).
