that’s it! that’s all i need to remind y’all! so when people start bitching bc boohoo billy is abused so that means his actions are okay, id like to remind y’all that it’s totally and completely possible for an abuse/trauma survivor to be a good person! and practically every main character on the show is proof of that! and if u want to stan a survivor of trauma bc they’re relatable, again, there’s a lot of options to choose from !
in fact!!!!! suggesting that a person’s bad actions are okay BECAUSE they’re abused, as if that makes them somehow less accountable of being a decent person, is, like, super duper offensive to abuse survivors!
