tropes that need to die: redemption arcs for abusive fathers

also: “I finally forgive him” arcs for the adult children of abusive parent figures

not to mention abusive relationships, where they forgive the abuser, because ‘they’ve changed’

shoot the “maybe they really were doing the best for me” trope in the face

news flash: the term “trap” in regards to a person’s gender has only ever been used to fetishize and dehumanize trans women, and play into the disgusting idea that trans women are secretly men trying to trick cis men, a mindset that contributes to real life violence, and to try and dismiss a character’s portrayal as not being transphobic because “they’re not trans, they’re a trap” is uninformed at best and actively malevolent at worst so shut the fuck up
