I reaaaaallly hate how fnaf fans seem to hate any interpretation of william afton that makes him even a bit complex or gives him a proper motivation like it ran over and beat their grandma or something. doesn't even have to be an interpretation of his canon self I've seen people get pissy about it in AUs and whatnot. this is especially common in twitter and reddit from what I've seen and admittedly even I used to be like this
yes he's probably an unforgivable asshole in canon, he's also barely a character whose motivations we literally do not know by just looking at the games and have to turn to outside sources to have even an idea of, but why would someone having a "willcare au" make them bad (actual point of criticism I've seen). Like no, making him care about his children does not mean treating him like he's a good father, in fact, fathers who care about their children can also treat them like shit and/or be extremely negletful! (very common irl!)
this also applies to whenever people make his motivation related to his dead son, which for some people seems to be code for "this person completely justifies everything william did to his own children and others and should be beaten to death with a sitck", when most people who do that also make him treat Mike like shit so I do not see how its remotely pretending he's a good father
