young spock growing up on vulcan and getting bullied by other children (and adults) for his human traits, hidden behind logic and control. and he goes home and runs into his human mother's arms and she comforts him and she's kind and she tells him she loves him
then he visits earth for the first time, expecting to find the same acceptance and comfort he found in his mother
instead he's met with the same cruelty, but from the other side. emotional hostility and fear-turned-hatred from humans who pride themselves on their feelings

Fandom response to Laudna’s trauma? Especially the whole “she’s been through so much, more than anyone else in the party, but she’s never stopped being sweet and kind and gentle 🥺” thing people do with their faves that drives me up a goddamn wall
Oh man it's so interesting, huh, how this is how people talk about Laudna, isn't it? And also Imogen? And Jester? and Keyleth? and sometimes Vex? I wonder what the pattern is here? Surely the I Support Women's Wrongs website loves when women's trauma responses are complex and ugly and selfish and violent! Surely they wouldn't always insist how wonderful it is that the women swallow and tolerate their pain and are so good and kind to others no matter how much the world hurts them, and rebrand this tradwife-ass mentality as hopepunk?
Laudna is a tricky case in that, as I've said a number of times, (most recently yesterday) her concept is not always clearly realized. I think it's true that she has been through a lot (anyone who decides trauma is a competition should be thrown out a window post-haste, but it is valid to say Laudna's had an extremely rough go of it) but frankly I wouldn't consider her gentle nor sweet, and her kindness tends to be real but in a childlike naive way that makes her worryingly easily to manipulate. I think her responses to other people's moments of crisis are (understandably! due to trauma!) very poorly calibrated and, demonstrably, her go-to response to betrayal is to try to violently suck out someone's soul to the point of death. I also think the fact that she and Delilah are deeply intertwined (as Matt said, essentially dissolved into each other at this point) makes it hard to talk about her because someone trying to argue for the uwu perfect baby who is always trying so hard can just blame it on Delilah; shades of another "haha interesting how this fandom interpretation exclusively happens with women characters" pattern, in which when they're murderous and unkind it's some controlling force that removes their own agency, and without any sense that one is still obligated to apologize and attempt to make good on involuntary harm.
So: yeah, type 2, pretty much exclusively tbh which is rare.
