I, honestly, hate how some people treat trauma like it doesn't exist. The amount of negative comments on the uke is astounding; and it's all based on him being "swayed" by Reo... All of these comments really go to show that people really don't understand what it's like to be queer in a place that's so against it - not to mention having a family that's also perceived to be against it. When your entire existence is constantly being questioned, or is being told to you is "wrong," it's - without a doubt - going to crush your confidence. When you're growing up in a place so dark that you can't even see your own hands in front of your face, how are you going to see that the thing you're touching isn't venomous? Once you get bit the first time, everything feels like a threat, even when you know it's not. One wrong word, from the wrong person, makes the soft bunny you thought you were petting turn into a bear cub. Now you know the mama bear's just around the corner, waiting, and it's your fault because you couldn't open your eyes that were glued shut
