People really like to default into things that sound like "remember our fandom is made of a lot of victims of ___ thing that will make them view this thing differently than how it actually is!"

Nah. Come on now. You're not polling people before you make this claim. It's assumption because of age and, I assume, trying to give people the benefit of the doubt.

This fandom is young, but I promise you the problems it has with characters with mental illness is pretty universal across mediums. Fandom likes pretty victims and graceful spirals. Fandom struggles with depictions of mental illness that can't be categorized into some trope or cliché. Fandom, throughout Tumblr's history, has a poor history with mental illness.

Trust me, the people projecting their negative relationships with parents onto Wilbur are the ones giving Fundy the worst daddy issues I've ever seen. It's not the people who are romanticizing one person's villain arc and writing Wilbur off as "aggressive" or "insane" or "manipulative" and in the same category as Dream (all things I saw today on twitter btw).

It's about empathy. A lot of the people I've seen romanticizing Tubbo's actions today have turned it into him grieving or lashing out or snapping after being the victim for so long. He's not a villain, even if he uttered the same words as Wilbur, because you can justify it with things other than "he's ill."

There's a reason the mentally ill man, the one you can't divorce from being called mentally ill with pretty justifications, is commonly drawn as a monster. Fandom doesn't think mental illness is pretty.

Since October 7th, Joe Biden, who is currently trying to get a lawsuit dismissed that says he is responsible for the genocide of Palestinians, has:

Vetoed the UN resolution for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza

Asked Congress to approve the sale of 45,000 shells for Israel's Merkava tanks for use in its offensive against Hamas in Gaza

Sent $14.5 billion in military aid to Israel

Met with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and said to him "I don't believe you have to be a Jew to be a Zionist, and I am a Zionist."

Publicly said that he saw the Israeli beheaded babies and then had to take it back since it was debunked

Approved a $320 million 320 for precision-guided bomb equipment for Israel

Defended the raid of Al Shifa hospital where thousands of injured and displaced civilians were sheltering

Said he had no reason to believe the Palestinian death toll was correct because he believed the source was unreliable despite the Health Ministry being recognized as a valid source

Said Hamas’ attack on Israel was like fifteen 9/11s

awe hell yeah, dudes got the green raccoon tails n everythin
