#Forgive the long tangent I'm very passionate about this character who only got 5 minutes of screen time and a short 😔

wait, now i'm curious as to what these two 'fanon' interpretations are. i know one of them has to be the 'soft uwu boy, done nothing wrong' type of thing 😂

You're right on the first one, but it's much worse then you think. 😔 it's sad uwu soft boy who can't do anything beacuse of a missing arm, and constantly needs someone to hold his hand! Fuck that he canonly has engineering degree and he's smart enough to invent things, and has a clear passion for acting and horror, nope! He's just a sad soft boy with no emotions outside of sad and horny.

The second however pisses me off a tad bit more then the first one :^). Streber is just a silly goofy guy with no other emotions outside of that, and his arm getting yeeted and eated didn't effect him at all!!

MY BROTHER IN CHRIST STREBER GOT THIS ARM RIPPED CLEAN OFF AND EATEN! ONE OF THE THINGS HE SAW THAT NIGHT WAS HIS OWN FUCKING FEMER BONE GETTING THROWN TO THE GROUND, OF COURSE THAT’S GONNA BE TRAMATIC FOR ANYONE! AT LEAST THE UWU SOFT BOY PEOPLE ACKNOWLEDGE THERE'S A PROBLEM!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Both takes are shitty and ableist in my opinion, just in two different ways. You can have Streber still be a funny little guy while going through the steps of dealing and coping with trauma! It's important to show the struggles and the process of working with a sudden disability. It's also important to show the steps of dealing with PTSD both the good and the bad! Streber's story can still be hopeful. The process of working through trauma/and a disability realistically and respectfully is very important to show!
