I probably have people who look at my works/writings and think I absolutely hate and loathe Megatron.
I don’t. Honest.
-rant incoming-
I just hate the fact this fandom can take a tyrannical, destructive, abusive (have you guys even watched the way he treats Starscream?), warlord, whose killed thousands and lead thousands more to their deaths and not given two shits about anyone unless they’re useful/beneficial to him.
And you can fawn over him, give him fifty-billion redemption stories, usually gloss over his vile and toxic behaviour, never have him face any actual repercussions for his actions but it’s okay ‘cos he’s “with the good guys now” and “trying to be better” so he doesn’t “deserve punishment”.
Yet you take a character whose, yes, still a villain and yes, still displays negative traits, but unlike Megatron is: shown to have suffered abuse, directly stated to have serious mental health issues, it’s even directly stated/shown his breakdowns cause violent outbursts yet had actually shown concern when it does not benefit him and go:
“Yeah that’s the guy, that’s the guy who deserves zero redemption, zero care and we’re just going to ignore all of his character and make him the abusive asshole with zero personality and pretend there’s nothing wrong with that”
