suf: shows the main character's trauma in full seriousness, with very real symptoms, they get the love and support they need at the end, actually starts seeing a therapist and leaves their home to start a new life

audience: boohoo this show is so dumb, it demonizes mental illnesses and solves everything with a hug

spop: shows the main character get into a relationship with their abuser, their character arc is left incomplete and all of their trauma is brushed under the rug

audience: omg such a good representation of trauma! this show is so mature!!

#i'll never forgive people for the way they warped suf to fit their own perspective #“steven was so toxic” not as toxic as catra #like yes he was going through the wringer but he was still trying to hold himself together #with the way everyone in the series treated him as an unpaid therapist i dont blame him for lashing out #idc what people say suf was not that bad #and i was so happy to see a character in a children's media get ACTUAL THERAPY #instead of just healing through the power of friendship or whatever #su had its issues ofc but i'm suf alone here #sorry long rant
