wankgate | 161: because most of the people in this hobby are godawful writers

hilariously (or not) i play one of these

a lot of the fandom is in persistent denial that he was abused

Oh man anon same with me. A good chunk of fandom completely ignores the fact that they were abused and neglected. Apparently for them, abuse has to be outright grimdark evil parent beatings in a musty prison cellar or something in order for it to not go over their heads? Do I need to play Carrie??? IDK.

apparently! idk about yours but the canon really deliberately frames it as abuse too. other characters comment on how shitty his situation is. where is the problem

you guys playing Dave Strider? Because that's who comes to mind, given how the fandom fawns over his brother

nope, i'm an animu. i've heard about that though

abusive backstories are nothing new to fanon but fandom only deigns to deal with abuse if it's headcanon and not actual canon, it seems

a strider player here, and omg i know this pain. it was obvious from the beginning that bro was fucknuts, but it was confirmed a long time ago that bro was abusive, not to mention the whole monologue dave did more recently about it.

and i STILL get people trying to argue with me that Dave is just 'being an angry teen' about how he was raised.

he IS an angry teen, because bro made his life hell on earth

oh, you mean there's more of us? good to know. it makes me laugh uncontrollably when people try to insist that my character's past (which has been hinted at being abusive and blatantly hinted, at that) will make him understand that a character's life is "so hard."

no, my guy's an asshole and no amount of your character's sharing/judging of him is gonna change that or make him want to help anyone. he lives in a shit world and only looks out for himself, deal with it.
