no, because im still upset about this.
c!Tubbo had an argument with his husband, and he broke down when Ranboo snapped at him, and he realized that Ranboo wasn't going to listen to him. He risked his life to save that horse, he was stood for probably the whole night and morning, fearing that one wrong move would kill him in a similar way to his first death. He relived the trauma of being stuck in one spot, moments away from being blown up. Then Ranboo switched places with him, so he not only had to LISTEN and be close to explosions (which would obviously cause some emotional and mental damage because of his PTSD), AND watch his husband die.
Then one day, everything's fine until Technoblade, an anarchist, someone who destroyed Tubbo's country, and killed him, comes to him to say that his husband dead, but then find out that his son is missing.
He reasonably tries to take out this stress on Eret at first, but then they realize Eret is on their side, and Tubbo takes it out on Sam, who kidnapped his child and didn't even tell Eret WHERE he brought him. They find Sam, he understandably takes his stress out on Sam and locks him in his own prison. He's pissed, with all the good reasons to be.
They retrieve Michael but Tubbo can't even continue to stay with him because there is no room with Phil, Techno, and Ghostboo. Not to even mention that Tubbo and Michael meet Ghostboo for the first time. We don't even know if Ghostboo actually remembered Michael and cares about him, because maybe Ghostboo doesn't care and just acts like he does because deep down he fears some sort of rejection for it. (but that's only a guess) You'd expect Tubbo to be a bit happy that Ranboo is okay and happy, but he's near silent. He barely says a word to Ghostboo. In that moment, he is literally shutting down. He either can't process it, or it hurts him so much that he can barely even speak.
Now add this all on with the fact that he has so much trauma from c!Dream and his manipulation and abuse, fearing that his best friend killed himself, taking care of a nation that was so very broken, and all of that happening when he was a teenager. He has so much trauma, but he never got treatment, and he still doesn't get treatment, despite obvious signs of still suffering from PTSD. (and a personal note, c!Tubbo gives nuerodivergent vibes, but like I said, that's something I feel, so not everyone will agree on it, but I figured I'd add it, just in case)
And yet there are still people who turn their eyes on c!Tubbo and/or say he's perfectly fine, or they don't even include him. We just don't talk about c!Tubbo enough.
i saw someone upset about how when c!Dream was in prison, no one cared about his crimes and still were like apologizing for him and saying that he should be free and what not (which, we call those people "dream apologists" obviously), but when c!Sam is thrown in, everyone kinda went "oh yeah he fucking sucks"...
That's sort of the point... yeah, Dream's character is considerably easy to hate because of what bad things he has done, but there are still ways to love his character. Of course, not all of us understand these ways, but that doesn't mean we should hate on people for seeing those ways. Meanwhile, Sam's character is lowkey MEANT to be hated. His character isn't meant to be likable. He is meant to be a bad person (in character ofc), we are meant to recognize his bad doings. Hence why there's such a big difference between reactions of them being jailed.
Yeah, sure, it's weird why people still defend c!Dream after all of his crimes, and yes, he should certainly be held accountable for what he did, but it's very important to remember that Dream has a large portion of following that are very extreme when it comes to simping, he has such a large portion because he has so many fans and subscribers. Sam doesn't have as big of a following (sadly) and has less simps because of this, and yeah, it is still definitely unfair, but that is just how it is, and that's probably the reason that people defend c!Dream.
c!Dream shouldn't be defended for his crimes at all, but neither should c!Sam. In the end, they both did really shitty things, but they're characters. They are not real. They both deserved to stay locked up, but that doesn't seem to be how the story goes.
Most of our fandom are still young, immature and don't have good judgment like older fans, so you can't just yell at them because of that, they need to be educated on it instead of being yelled at for why their opinion is wrong, and that's not even exclusive to this fandom, or any fandom at all, that applies to everything. (Meaning, no matter the circumstance, no one should be scolded or hated on for opinions, if they're opinion goes against fact, though, they should be educated on it, not yelled at.)
But idk, just another "here's what i think" post, ig.. take this with a grain of salt tho cause i'm not willing to get into drama over something as small and dumb as this
