I made this post just as a small discussion view on the invalidation of trauma via the chosen ignorance of a characters trauma. This post was inspired by a tiktoker invalidated souda's trauma simply because they didn't like the character. (Correct me if I'm wrong with that)
If you have no idea what I'm talking about (but want to here is some informative video links on said situation)
Anyway onto my thoughts. And the situation itself. Btw Jack, is the tiktoker who made the controversial video.
What jacks main message was a little strange. I mean it was blatantly belittling an actually common form of trauma. The video itself had Sonia and Gundam talking to kazuchi with the audio in the bg saying. "Thaaaaats your emotional scaring backstory? Tha~ats your great tragedy?" In a tone of 'is that all?' Kinda way. (I wasn't able to quote the whole audio as it was taken down I don't wish to be inaccurate)
Its hard to miss the point with this. The belittling of any trauma is rude and not good practice. Fictional character or not trauma is a thing you absolutely SHOULDN'T make fun of, no matter the circumstances. 2, I know (personally and from seeing the comments on the original video) that a lot of people kin or relate to kazuichi because they have experienced similar trauma. And by devaluing his trauma in return it devalues real people's trauma. Which dips into why them being a fictional character doesn't matter.
In the end it doesn't matter which character or how much you hate a character, the ignorance of belittling their trauma is absolutely unacceptable.
Anyway I would like to hear others thoughts/input!!! ^^ (please put them in the comments below I will not accept private messages)
Anyway thats all thanks for reading :two_hearts:

Anyone who attempts to erase a character's trauma is someone I don't trust. Fuck, I'm uncomfy with certain characters and prefer not to even achnowledge their existence but even then I achnowledge their trauma.
The fact that people so commonly poke fun at Kazuichi's trauma is concerning, considering how common the things he experienced actually are
100% agree with you, couldn't have worded it better myself. But yeah its all about decency and basic respect. The fact that some people have the audacity to ignore trauma is, as you said, concerning. It shows how toxic this community can get though, the people who put out the video (as I've seen) refuse to acknowledge it. And are against apologizing. Its really sad to see people in this community have such blatant disrespect. :pensive:
