#me seeing trial 3 fuyu with an eyepatch in the beforetimes: hm

[drawbauchery]

People hate Teruteru because he doesn't stay long enough to grow as a character. If Fuyuhiko died in Chapter 1 or 2 people would despise him too. He was AWFUL before becoming the mom friend chapter 3 onwards. My personal least favorite of SDR2 is Mikan because she's incredibly annoying most of the time but the fandom sees her as untouchable because of her trauma, ESPECIALLY on Reddit. Name one Danganronpa character.that DOESN'T have trauma?

i'd seen trial 3 before ever playing the game so i knew fuyu would change (didn't know WHY 8'D) so i didn't really experience the full scope of how.....horrible he was glksnd but he super was. i read a fic where peko actually outlived him and he was pretty realistically insufferable.

still, i do think teru is very pleasant sometimes but in my brain it's a toss-up on whether or not he would've been annoying if he'd been around longer. and it's true about mikan...interesting characters, lotsa double standards, eh
