Characters not communicating crucial information for most reasons is bad writing imo. Like on Arrow. If everyone just stopped fucking lying there'd be so fewer dead people.

So you would tell Lana about your powers and origin if you were Clark Kent?

What?

ive never seen someone telling someone to not protect themselves before


I'm not understanding. The topic title has been said in 100s of shows and movies, it seems like you are misinterpreting it. The person is saying that they are protecting you by not telling you this information. They aren't telling you not to protect yourself.

it's dumb rationalizing that doesn't make any sense to everyone but the person doing it. to be fair, people do that shit irl too. people like to assume what's best for someone and be wrong about it all the time

Friendly reminder that literally everything bad that happens in FFVII between the Temple of the Ancients and the North Crater happens because Tifa does this.

This. It's dumb to think it's not a realistic thing to happen irl which makes it work for me in writing. It's impossible for the character to know they are doing more damage than good until it's too late. Then they usually just get it off their chest cause they can't move on with the weight.

Just a "you can't handle the truth" type of thing I think. It's a saying with an air of unjustified superiority

It works sometimes, like in the case of super heroes keeping their identity a secret. But yeah, most of the time it's pretty dumb.
