These kinds of interpretation absolutely baffle me. Why do we, as a fandom, see an abused, hurting, struggling, vulnerable man, who clings to his humanity and tries to protect everyone around him in a world that doesn’t make sense and is trying to actively KILL him, and immediately jump to a conclusion this man is… weak and pathetic?

Why? Because he was abused?

Because his bodily and psychological autonomy were violated in every sense, and he could do nothing to stop it?

Because he got addicted and dependent on something he didn’t choose or want, had no control over, and had no choice?

Because he got addicted to statements and trauma and the Eye against his will and was actively starving himself? Because starving himself made him physically weak, tired and prone to collapsing?

Because his health was failing?

Because he was hurting every minute of his life?

Because he tried his best to resist the powers and it made his pain WORSE?

Because, despite his fear of vulnerability, his highly independent nature and exterior aloofness, he was deep down a deeply vulnerable, hurt man?

Because he’s a victim of abuse, and he couldn’t do anything against his abuser?

Why, can you explain to me, WHY do you call Jonathan Sims pathetic? Do you really think people who are victims of abuse and violation, people who are suicidal and depressed, people who are chronically ill, people who struggle with physical and mental health problems are?
