Arthur radiates autistic radiation at lethal levels, and it's common for autistic kids to have difficult relationships with their parents. They're irritable and intensely stubborn, and they have a terrible time letting go of grievances whether the grievance is in any sense justified or not. Autistic empathy deficiencies and poor theory of mind also mean that it's harder for them to see any sort of motive behind other peoples' actions that they don't like besides "they did it to hurt me". The parents, for their part, usually don't understand why their child is acting the way they do, and can get very frustrated with their child, for entirely sympathetic reasons. Autistic inability to read subtle social cues also means that you have to be blunter with them than you would with a normal child, even sometimes shading into things that would be excessive and unjustified with other children (for example, use of electric shock on very low functioning autistics is sometimes one of the very few things that works). I strongly doubt that Arthur was genuinely abused, both because as a blatantly obvious undiagnosed autist he's in a very poor position to objectively evaluate that, but also because his side's ideology is extremely warped and recasts many normal things like spanking a child as abusive.Arthurchu and his clique think nuclear families are hotspots for abusing queer kids. They disregard the obvious reasons that would make a parent would act more in their child's best interest than a teacher. And it seems to be a pattern with this type of person - that they've all had (or at least claim to have had) abusive upbringings.
In fact, I don't think it's too much of a controversial statement to say that those woke-arse schools intervening between children and their unwoke parents (the very thing that HB1557 takes a shot at) are mostly, if not entirely, the pet project of individuals like this one, thinking: "Because I can't/won't trust my parents, NO ONE'S parents should be trusted."
Ana Mardoll (another cow who RTs Arthur obsessively) is just like this also. Texas mom lives rent-free in her head, the usual story. Makes me wonder if Arthurchu has his own source of beef with his parents, and if so, why don't I know about it? I've only been following him a short time, but I don't recall reading anything about it so far.
