Why is Dain your favorite?!

Lol, Dain isn't my favorite per se but I think he's overhated by the fandom. He's a bit of a dick but in a very.. how your dad would give you eyeroll-worthy but ultimately good advice kind of way. Xaden also shares a lot of similar characteristics as Dain but he's off the hook so easy but Dain is just made to sound like a horrible person. I just want everyone judged in the same scale ya know?

He insisted Vi go to scribe quadrant, which while annoying af, was actually a very valid suggestion? That was her dream and she was forced to Riders? I mean, Xaden would have made his 100 something marked ones go to other quadrants too if the choice was there? To save their lives? He wouldn't stand by and see them falling one by one if he didn't have a choice. But y'all hated Dain for wanting to save her life THIS way but when he said he wont break rules to save her during training, it was like GASP HOW DARE HE!

Which brings me to: Dain followed rules. Which is apparently the worst thing ever but dun dun dun hypocrisy, when Cat got into Vi's head while fighting Vi and Rhi and everyone lost it.. because Cat wasn't following rules of combat so like you want rules followed but only when it's convenient for you, hm?

He read her mind once (not defending, he did bad thing yes) and shared info about Xaden to his father because he thought she was in danger. Xaden read her mind for weeks, and also reads minds of EVERYONE and that's okay but Dain's one time is despicable? I mean if he's so despicable, hate Xaden more? No? Yeah that's what hypocrisy is.

His whole "betrayal wasn't a betrayal" thing wasn't even a plot twist to me because the only reason to hate Dain was that Vi told you guys to hate him and y'all went with it. And I was really like yeah what did you expect you easily forgot he was your friend for years coz you made new friends?

Anyway, Not saying Dain was great, he had his flaws, but oh boy, he is not a villain like this fandom hive mind makes him out to be. Also disclaimer, I LOVE Xaden a LOT. So, this wasn't anti Xaden in anyway. Just pointing out facts.
