People who are obsessed with wanting Cinder to be violently punished/killed give me the squicks but people who are obsessed with Cinder's victimhood and turning her into a little squishy whump puppet scare me just as much.
Both objectify her and want her powerless in different ways. Sorry it just makes me so uncomfortable and I hate it so much, I don't really care if it offends peoples' personal tastes or desires they project onto the narrative, both approaches are equally uninteresting... and my own squick.
For the record, I'm never writing from the direction that Cinder's a helpless victim and will be that way forever, and I'm never writing about Knightfall from a perspective that excludes Jaune or excludes any of the character influence on the narrative. I think that's the key difference though because you can empathise with Cinder without denying her agency and wanting her empowered.
