i wouldn't say Bernadetta is "discount" Alcryst so much as they serve essentially the same purpose (exaggerated fear and self-deprecation as comic relief), but Bernadetta's background makes her being written this way feel tasteless (like her having trauma-induced anxiety and social phobia is the butt of the joke, and in a way that feels almost fetishistic at times) and the way other characters react to her is generally either thinking she's strange or pushing her out of her comfort zone against her will, whereas Alcryst's insecurity is more of a quirk due to an unfounded perception of himself, and other characters are generally very supportive of him and try to help him see himself differently without pushing him too hard, so the narrative feels at least somewhat respectful of him despite playing him up for comedy. it's more a matter of writing than anything
