Can we stop this please?

Can we stop using “trauma” as a plot point in manga when you’re gonna make the MC forget about it in a matter of seconds?

Can we ESPECIALLY not make the MC get back together with their abusers?

I mean if the MC forgives them and all then yeah I get that because forgiveness can be a way for people to heal but now the MC loves them again?

Huh?

And the only thing worse than using trauma as a half-assed plot point is using trauma to justify the actions of an unjustifiable shitty character.

“What you’re a mass murderer who killed thousands of innocent people but you only did this your dog died and your mom was abusive? Aww I feel so bad for you sad boy”

Fucking cringe
