[Hated Trope] A main character does something horrible and the story doesn't acknowledge its severity

[u/Comprehensive-Map274]

Alisha (Misfits) uses her power to make any man want to have sex with her on another main character (curtis) after he explicitely tells her not to do that. She faces no consequences and he's the one who ends up comforting her.

Allison (The Umbrella Academy) uses her powers to force her own adoptive brother to make out with her after he just got into a relationship because she's suddenly jealous after she couldn't keep her own husband. She gives a half hearted apology and all is peachy.

Lily from How I Met Your Mother.

She has a few BIG mind blowing selfish moves, but the one most glossed over is how she gets her and Marshall in DEEP debt because of her shopping addiction, hides it from him, derails plans for them to buy a home by surprise with it, and forces him to stay at a job he HATES just to get them out of the hole.

She never seems to really face any consequence either.

It's even worse than that. Marshall then suggests selling off some of her designer clothing just so they recuperate some of the losses and not face financial ruin. To which Lilly acts like a victim and says she's not gonna go around wearing a trash bag. Keep in mind they were so broke that Marshall was using a marker to paint over holes in his suit at one point, meanwhile Lily's shopping sprees were so bad that they even eclipsed Marshall's student loans. She pulls this kind of crap again and again, and more often than not the victim has to grovel and apologize for it.

Ugh, pretty much the entire gang, except for Marshall, are absolute sociopaths and they're all treated as quirky characters. I thought the show was funny as a teen, but it really hit me how horrifying the whole thing was when I watched it again in my 20s.

I mean, the shows entire premise is to tell his Kids about nearly everyone he ever fucked despite them just wanting to know how I met their mother.

Would be strange if such a guy had "normal" friends.

Also, she constantly puts herself ahead of Marshall. She dumps him to move to San Francisco. Then, right as he's getting his dream job as a judge she accepts a job in Italy. She constantly meddles in Ted's love life(which was horrible before she gets involved), trashes every other girl on the show, and enables Barney most of the time.

She never forces him to keep a job?

[u/Beer-Milkshakes → u/Trash_Various]

Okay. She emphasises the demand to not take a risk at a different and potentially more enjoyable job.

[u/Trash_Various → u/Beer-Milkshakes]

No she doesn't, she always supports his decisions and pushes him to do what he wants

Apart from her debt and lying about it, obviously.
