pet peeve of mine: when characters who are clearly severely emotionally disturbed become less emotionally disturbed and then immediately start getting called boring and dull by fans

primary examples I can think of from my own experience would be lapis and gaara…. each character has this group of fans who only found them to be interesting when they were miserably traumatized

this trend of thinking characters who become happier and healthier are “boring” is annoying as shit to me but hey…. just My Onion
