a lot of gen z (and a good bit of millenials) have grown up w media where the main character is willing to sacrifice everything for the people around them (hp, pjo, bleach, etc)
and that kinda shows in our overall psyche and worldview (bad mental health, willingness to body-slam a cop [not that im against that! acab], recklessness, eating tide pods and spoonfuls of cinnamon, etc),
so its super interesting to see media in the last few years (esp kids media) directly rebelling against that and insisting that you should take care of yourself too (she-ra aka spop, frozen 2, etc)
