Wooby Xander?
I am starting to see a woobifying of Xander. I know it’s in response to a lot of Xander hate, so I understand. The fact he had challenges in his home life isn’t unusual. But I find one challenge that I’m surprised to see even regarded as a challenge.
Here’s a tip - janitors and fast food worker’s aren't something to be regarded with shock, horror and disdain - unless you are Cordelia. This is what makes Xander uncomfortable - the being teased part.
But I’m seeing more people agreeing to the notion that having these relatives are also somehow proof of his bad home life. The fact that Xander has a relative who sweeps floor or sells burgers does not really make it a bad life. The fact that people tease him doesn’t make it a bad life either because everyone gets teased.
His parents are assholes, verbally abusive alcoholics - that is what makes it a seriously bad life. Please stop conflating a mild class difference with his real problem.
Verbally abusive parents are not a phenomenon found only in one social class.
