could probably put a lot of characters here but!! these are the three i see bashed the most on tumblr dot com. cuddles all these characters viciously
(if u cant read the writing it says: “characters that reacted realistically to trauma but are labelled as weak & pathetic by their respective fandoms and really need a consensual hug”)
yeaaah. Always bugged me about Shinji and Madoka.
They’re friggin’ child soldiers. Give ‘em a minute to be messed up about that fact, fandoms.
Wait, there’s people who say that about Madoka?
But…
… she was a magical girl BEFORE Homura. The reason why she doesn’t fight is because Homura is trying to prevent it from happening, and each time she ends up fighting anyway. Even so, it was Madoka who saved Homura in the beginning, she was a soldier first.
But even if you take out that element, she’s like… in 8th grade? Give her a minute to cope with the psycho rabbit cat thing that sits in her bedroom and watches as her world falls apart. I mean, for fucks sake, her best friend turns into a crazy witch. And that’s just ONE time line, there have been others.
It’s kind of a big deal.
