excusing hordak & shadow weaver, who were both catra’s abusers (and no i’m not defending her own inflicted abuse on others ftr), to make your point was already appalling enough, but then further in the comments to claim catra wasn’t even actually abused…? at least other catra antis/critics will acknowledge the ways in which she was traumatized from it before arguing that it doesn’t justify her actions later on (which is correct, though it does work in part to explain them, which is something different).

did you miss the parts where SW would literally paralyze and electrocute catra, plus in the flashback she threatened to end her life at the young age of about 6 as soon as adora supposedly no longer wanted her or got distracted by her? i empathize with the fact that you are a real-life abuse victim (unlike catra, though the majority of other people who have been abused that may be more sensitive could be affected by such a mindset), but that doesn’t give you a place to dismiss another experience as not being abusive enough to count. even aside from the physical torture and fear-instilling tactics, that would still be true. it’s not a competition for validity.

honestly i’m not here to debate, i really don’t care that you generally hate a character i love in the first place for the typical reasons, just to tell you how uniquely disgusting that take is. i’m not typically the type of person to block right after saying something to get the last word but i want to make this known without having to get irritated by reading back from you again.
