#we're just disappointed that there was clearly breadcrumbs being left to imply something more nuanced and it was tossed aside-

People complaining about others "woobifying" Starscream fail to mention how those of us who apparently do this don't completely erase the damage he's done to others.

When you make art or write where the only characters he interactions with are his abuser (Megatron) and those he semi tolerates then YES he's going to come out of it looking more innocent than he actually is.

We are not going to continue this weird game of trying to police how people can or cannot depict a character. Even if they DO decide to make him some "uwu innocent baby boy" is it really any more different when it's done to Bumblebee? To Optimus/Orion Pax?

Especially stop acting as though those who engage in this way are idiots or too blinded by favoritism to acknowledge Starscream is a flawed individual! If you're a Starscream fan you love BOTH sides of him. The ruthless asshole who deserves to get put in his place here and there by those he hurts AND a victim of cruel and unusal abuse as well.
