I cannot emphasize enough that the reason Lumen is so hated in the Dexter fandom is because people hate realistic portrayals of trauma. They don't like the ugly side of it nor do they know how to handle or respond to it. I'm just so tired of how the fandom treats her and forgets literally everything she went through, they just have this romanticized version of how an abuse victim should act. Funny enough today I said this in a server and some guy proved my point by calling her annoying and saying she was acting stupid, plus tried to kill the guy who was helping her. He even had the nerve to say 'I know actual abuse victims, they act nothing like her' which is such a disgusting thing to say. It goes onto this idea of how an abuse victim should act or what is the acceptable way. Everyone copes and responds to trauma differently in their own way.
