Shout out to the fictives from "cringe" sources by the way. Particularly those who have genuine moral issues with their source, when their source was seemingly mostly silly, badly written, or somehow a source that you wouldn't expect to have moral issues with.
My source was Minecraft Diaries. A silly little Minecraft roleplay that, as far as I know, was mostly geared towards a younger audience. We barely remember canon, it was an old fandom of ours in childhood, but what we do remember was mostly unserious or very trope-y. I was a villain. I don't remember my motives or actions in canon, but I do remember my personal canon. In my personal canon, I was terrible. I broke into people's minds to change their memories to manipulate them. I committed what would undeniably be considered crimes against the laws of nature, and I did so gleefully. My worldview was shaped by my home, and my home taught me that everyone was a horrible person and I acted accordingly. I viewed the world as a threat, so I became one.
Generally, I was a sort of "eldritch horror" in the sense that I was powerful in ways one should not be. In my source media, however, I was probably more like a cartoon villain. Once again; poor memory, just guessing.
So shout out to fictives who have similar experiences. There are others out there.
