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
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

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
