Traumafarming

Traumafarming is when someone makes a character or takes an already existing character and gives them the most traumatic experiences to the point that it can’t be taken seriously

Person 1: character is literally traumafarming this can’t be fr.
Person 2: But it’s not even THEIR FAULT!
Person 1: No, no, I mean creator/fanfic writer is using them to traumafarm, character is literally getting traumafarmed although they have serious potential

Person 2: Dang that sucks..

Trauma farming

Using others peoples traumatic life events or circumstances for content. Especially for clout and or traction. Often disguised as attempts to garner mass help, often for a go fund me etc. The trauma farmer doesn’t directly benefit from the go fund me but rather benefits by using other peoples exceptional circumstances to drive attention on their content.

Did you see. Jordan’s recent video?

Yea, They only post about people who get fucked up
