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
Can we also talk about how in those scenarios where the male lead saves the MC from almost getting raped; they literally have sex immediately after and the entirety of the situation is completely brushed aside like the attempted sexual assault wasn’t a big deal?
