“I really don’t like it when people say vanitas is “broken.” I’m sure people mean no malice by it, but it really puts me off when people call a traumatized character, especially one whose been abused, as “broken.” Terrible things being done to you does not make you “broken,” it just makes you someone whose been hurt very deeply. If anything, Vanitas is incredibly strong for managing to survive all the pain and hurt he’s been through. No he is not okay, I never said he is, he’s someone whose been through horrible, horrible, things, and he will always at a certain degree be hurt from it. But he’s still managing to live through it. He still manages to smile and laugh. He still manages to form connections with others. He still manages to feel happiness in spite of everything. Wish you all would see that instead of being all “uwu hes such a broken person.” The treatment of abused & traumatized characters in fandoms really makes me uncomfortable. It’s one thing for vanitas to call himself “broken” (which he never has btw), but it’s another for others to call him that.“ -- source link
