the people on twitter talking about "of course yuno sees ocean dumping as a casual thing, because he's been ocean dumped by friends before, it's his way of coping" and like, that's great! that's some excellent insight! and i would like to raise you: !
yuno does not use ocean dumping to send a message. when dundee shot him in the mines, it was to teach him a lesson. when cg ocean dumped him, it was to make sure he knew they wouldnt take no for an answer, not even from him. no, yuno doesnt do that. yuno uses ocean dumping to help his friends forget. he wanted to help eli forget the pain of being betrayed and dumped. he wanted to use it to help his parents forget and overcome their struggles.
yuno doesnt ocean dump people because he's used to it himself or because he's coping by ignoring the gravity of it. he ocean dumps his friends because somewhere in his brain, he knows he'd rather forget too. he'd rather curtis had left him further out and he'd washed up on the shore, none the wiser that his friends tried to kill him. he'd rather dundee hadn't immediately called ems so he wouldn't remember his closest friend and mentor shooting him and leaving him in the dark.
and ooc, i know sykkuno seems to really just go with the flow and do things for content most of the time, and he does, but as someone who's watched him for years, i can see him digging out these old incidents and using them in 4.0 yuno's character. it's not an accident that yuno evolved from pacifism to ocean dumping just after he started opening up to some people about these old memories of his friends threatening him or leaving him for dead
