Mothwing and Shadowsight are both grooming victims but the fandom babies Shadowsight to the point where it’s almost nauseating and then turns around and picks on Mothwing for not being fully healed yet
Not to be annoying, but to add…
I think the argument can absolutely be made that the way the fandom treats female characters who have been victims of grooming vs how they treat male characters who are victims of grooming shows just how deep the underlying misogyny of the community goes.
I’m not saying that one matters more than the other, actually the opposite. But the fandom DOES pay significantly more attention and is much more likely to baby and favour male victims than female. We’ve all seen how the fandom has treated Mothwing and Ivypool in comparison to male characters like Shadowsight.
If there are any other Warriors characters you guys could think of that are relevant to this topic, please feel free to let me know. Maybe I’ll make an analysis post.
