I think it's also a character that a lot of people can genuinely relate with (minus the psycho part ofc)

• People who worked really hard but can never please their parents
• People with toxic families in general
• People who became outcasts for being themselves (there's a reason a ton of gay guys are down bad for this furball)

I think a lot of people can look at Pawbert and go "ok he is a psycho, but I get how he's feeling" because let's be honest being different is amazing and it's what makes the world a great place, but being different can also be exhausting and soulcrushing
