Reading (or watching a movie or anime) is usually not an upsetting hobby, but there's one rare case where a book/movie/anime can really get under my skin, in a bad way. Sometimes in a story a character will make a choice which the author clearly feels is the "right" choice, but I personally think was a profoundly wrong choice. For example, a character might forgive someone who did something I think that character should have considered unforgivable. Or a character might choose to make a sacrifice that I thought they should have considered unacceptable or not worth it for what they expect to gain. Or a character might have to choose between two goals, and the moral of the story is that goal A is the one that really matters while I think the moral should have been that goal B is the one that really matters.
So I just wondered, is anyone else bothered by this kind of thing, or is it just me? Does it make you want to write a story with a similar situation where the character makes the opposite choice?
