You're so fucking correct for this. Two misread lines appear to be free license for some people to write him off entirely and it's like they almost want him to be that way. I have my theories as to why, but I won't dispense those outright until I know for sure that they hold water.

Dumbest take I've seen in this fandom is accusing Gehrman of pretending to be disabled. I'm not making this shit up I swear to god. The existence of ambulatory wheelchair users aside, did they. Did they miss the part where his entire foot is gone. Did they miss that he also uses a cane. MOREOVER did they miss the part where in Ending 2 you're sitting in the wheelchair that he used to use in the Dream thereby implying it is a function of the dream and a physical manifestation of a mobility limiter (rather than aide) that the moon presence likely set in place to cap the power of the host hunter.

#that being said I will say them in the tags #the sentiment often comes from people who want someone to blame Maria's fate and character flaws on #or from people who dont give a shit about the character writing in the first place #you will hate my war criminal peepaw for the right reasons i swear to fucking god #also heres a bat im swinging at a hornets nest #calling Maria butch is like when people say Taylor Swift in flannel and a baseball cap is butch #I love her for the record and I do think her silhouette is androgynous to some degree #but just bc its practicaly hunt clothing that doesnt overaccentuate curves doesnt mean shes butch by default #ALSO ALSO THE DOLL'S DRESS BEING A MISOGYNISTIC GESTURE IS BULLSHITTTTTT #Idk who needs to hear this but a person can wear more than one outfit in their lifetime!#**practical #also also also if Maria was a man and/or Gehrman was younger and thereby more conventionally attractive #there would be more charitability given to gehrman and by default gehrmaria
