people in qrts and comments are really proving my point that a horrible person isn't identified by who or what they like, so to the val antis threatening me or wishing me harm, its really not the best look boo
@LuniTuniii
well normally you don't really NEED a reason or to explain yourself, but from my personal experience he reminds me someone i knew and it's just a the familiarity (good or bad) which brings me comfort, many ppl relate to victims but some victims tend to feel comfort in the abusers
@WallyWackyford
However that can be a huge sign of a bigger mental health/trauma response based issue, which shouldn't be bullied ofc. Tho it's still questionable if that method of copying is good for the sake of victims and others.. that's why I think the word 'normalize' is not the right one
@ToiletBrushKing
No not always, for me Val was actually a healthy coping mechanism as he literally was an obsession that took my attentino away from my actual abuser, not always needs to be looked at at surface level, plus ppl dont rly owe anyone an explanation on why they find a char comforting
