how can you not see how ableist some of you guys are? can we stop dehumanizing El and using her trauma as “proof” that Mike and her don’t work out? can we stop using El’s trauma as an excuse to say she’d be better on her own? can we stop using El’s trauma to say she can’t be in a romantic relationship until she is healed? can we stop using El’s trauma to say she can’t be independent and in a relationship? can we stop using El’s trauma as an excuse to hate both on her and Mike? can we stop using El’s trauma to “prove” your ship is canon? can we please! can we please stop using her trauma!!! Please!

I have trauma because of years and years of being bullied and gaslighting/manipulative friendships, and I’m still healing. Does that mean I should stop forming friendships until I’m completely healed? (which isn’t going to happen bc trauma doesn’t just go away).

*read tags please*

#Mileven #I understand she’s a fictional character but still that’s not okay #And there are many traumatized people in the fandom including myself (and even some who see themselves in her) who don’t appreciate it #And those people who do see themselves in El you realize how hurtful your comments are right?#To say a traumatized girl needs to heal before being loved romantically #To say a traumatized girl is better on her own #To say a traumatized girl doesn’t deserve love #To say the boyfriend of said traumatized girl is only using her #You don’t see how screwed up that is?#El being in a relationship with Mike (or anyone!) does NOT take away her independence #You can be independent and in a relationship #And El proves her independence every single season #Yet you all just focus on that she CHOOSES to be with a Mike #Please leave her alone and stop using her trauma to prove Mileven is bad and your ship is canon #This doesn’t even have anything to do with shipping #I could care less you you ship or who you think should be with who or who you think is canon #I could care less #this is about using El’s trauma as ammo #So stop #please
