This is sarcasm but I love seeing people diminish Lilo's processing of trauma and saying she needs to know better

6 yr olds will NOT process trauma the same as older kids, theyre still developing and will likely express their trauma outward at that age because THEY DONT KNOW HOW
TO EXPRESS IT OTHERWISE

This includes tantrums, being self-focused (they're 6!!), having mood-swings, not complying or caring for rules, and other things like that because they're frustrated and scared and don't have the emotional control of older children and adults
To reign themselves in and be self-reflective

Children and adults process trauma differently because our brains and behaviors are developed differently!! ALSO KIDS DIDN'T HAVE AS MUCH TIME IN THEIR LIVES TO DEVELOP COPING MECHANISMS LIKE US????
Lilo's depiction is p accurate!!

AND THIS ALSO TOTALLY DOESN'T ACCOUNT FOR HER BEING AN INDIGENOUS HAWAIIAN??

That critique is so swathed in white bullshit my god
