This irks me

Okay so I know this has been heavily discussed in the sub but it just irks me that SJM keeps bringing Tamlin into the story and using him as a punching bag. Yes, he was toxic, yes he deserved punishment but when is it enough? 😭 we don’t even know his side of the story about what happened between Rhys’ family and his. Also, didn’t he wish Feyre happiness and didn’t she forgive him? Why did I have to keep reading about Rhys wanting to punch him into oblivion (to say the least) throughout the last two books? Could’ve just left him behind in ACOWAR, he got what he deserved, he learned his lesson, he redeemed himself, the end. But no, he had to be brought up just to make sure people know how much everyone still hates him, nevermind that none of them are saints either. He’s not even relevant to the story at all so why even do all that? Listen I know he was awful and idk if it’s because I’m super empathetic but I HATE it when characters are used as punching bags in stories for no reason at all, to me that’s like soft torture porn and it lowkey makes me super uncomfortable. Not even Beron gets that treatment when he actually does deserve it, and that’s insane for me to think. If I have to read about Rhys and Cassian (ESPECIALLY Cassian after ACOSF) wanting to make a bbq out of Tamlin for Bryaxis in the next book I’m gonna riot, I’m being serious.
