One thing that really annoys me about the Encanto fandom is how they infantilize Bruno. Almost everything written about him depicts him as a stuttering, insecure, nervous, and blushing virgin. I’m not doubting his nervousness or insecurity-everybody in that family is insecure-but he’s shown to have humor and be bold in the movie. Yeah, he’s nervous about seeing his family, but that’s only because he’s been hiding away for 10 years and doesn’t know what they’ll think of him. He probably has social anxiety, too, seeing as how the townspeople talk about him correlates with how they probably treated him, but that doesn’t mean he can’t interact normally with people. I’ve even seen people who hc him as autistic or as ND do this, which to someone on the spectrum who also has mental illness, it’s incredibly demeaning. He’s a grown man, make him act like one, please.
