iris west: finds her mother unconscious from an overdose and then is told she’s dead, has to pick up the pieces of her family as a child and be there for joe as well as figure out to grieve her damn self all while being an eleven year old child*
also iris: *possesses so much love and kindness in her heart that she manages to be a nurturing supportive figure for barry who lost his mother without resenting the fact that she now has to share the only parent left in her life with him*
y'all musty asses: ????? so we’re just gonna romanticize iris preying on barry in his weakened emotional state?? like even as an eleven year old she was selfish how do you just fall in love with another 11 year old who you’ve known for years right after his dad goes to jail and his mom dies?! Like lol how convenient you like him cause you're getting off on his grief because despite any canon evidence you're clearly a sadist IMAGINE stanning this over-sexualized negress!
