I see a lot of people hate Mei Mei, which, I don’t blame them because obviously. However, I feel like people forget about how she was raised and what was expected from her.
A lot of people disagree with me when I say that the clans are abusive groups/cults, and that includes every one of them not just the zen’in, especially towards the women born into them. Mei Mei is no exception from the abuse and it’s stated she was forced into marriages throughout her life by her parents and clan.
I believe Mei Mei and Ui Ui were raised to believe that their bond/relationship was normal and even healthy between siblings by their clan and was encouraged by abusers. Obviously I’m not saying it’s good or saying it’s right but I think people don’t ever look deeper into the why they might be the way they are. Sort of a explanation not excuse thing
