#like damn i just came here so i could understand the grian lore

[ooooo-mcyt]

Finally started watching Yandere Highschool like five years late cause I wanted to understand the Grian Lore.

And, question.

Who on earth decided that yhs/ts Grian being super traumatized was a fanon interpretation???

Like before I watched the series I saw multiple posts complaining about the fandom making Grian look like a Sad Innocent Babie or whatever by painting him as traumatized and as mostly innocent when it comes to the awful things done throughout the majority of the series. I went into watching fully expecting to see chaos gremlin Grian who's a prick for no reason and actively goes out of his way to do crime. I read enough posts complaining about the strictly fanon victim Grian take that you can imagine my shock upon actually starting to watch the series and getting the overwhelming sense that a lot of people who were supposedly making him too sympathetic were actually underplaying the situation.

I mean, hell, most of the time people fixate in on the halloween arc when it comes to Grian Trauma to begin with which is actually being super lenient in ignoring.....well.....everything else Grian got put through afterwards (y'all remember that time sam came into grian's room, forcefully dressed him up in cosplay he didn't want to wear complete with deeply uncomfortable fake boobs, then locked him in the basement for days straight until grian screamed loud enough to get taurtis' attention and even then when he started rambling and screaming about what sam did to him both of the other's brushed it off as a joke and then made him walk around in that outfit all day while making various uncomfortable comments and even offering to give him to a guy that commented on the outfit at one point as part of some sort of deal which probably only didn't happen because they got attacked two seconds later and had to switch their focus to that? just as one example). So the fact that most people who offer up Traumatized Grian only use the halloween arc to begin with is rather minimalistic given everything else he goes through later. Yet ive still seen way too many posts say that even acknowledging that much is super innacurate fanon??

Who on earth decided that??? How on earth did they decide that????
