[Loved trope] Sometimes, betrayal is for the abuse

[u/Hades1661]

Nobody likes the traitors, that for sure, but sometimes, the betrayal have a real reason and we can applaud it

This is for characters that betray someone because that person or group constantly mistreats, mock or just are a bunch of assholes with him or her

Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones: Tyrion doesn't have it easy, his birth killed his mother, a fact that his family never stopped emphasizing to him, has dwarfism in a medieval society, and have bad luck with women, but he always tried to live up to the Lannister name, but nobody respect him, no matter what he done to help his family or the kingdom, even blaming him to poison Joffrey just because they constantly clash, at the end, Tyrion throw his family to the shit and helps the rebels

Sigrun Engel from Wolfenstein: Being the daughter of a nazi in a world where the nazis won the war with magic Jewish technology (yes, im not joking) is hard, but being the daughter of a female version of Himmler, its a nightmare, and probably Sigrun have it harder that others: Her excess of weight was constantly a target for her mother (she even thought to euthanizing her just because she’s fat); her soft personality doesn't help with a mother that can play football with the heads of the prisoners and the final straw was read Sigrun dairy and yell his content with all the soldiers, at the end, Herr Engel create her fall being better with her soldiers than her daughter

Arthur Edwards from Hitman: HITMAN World of Assassination: Arthur Edwards tried hard his whole life, being the second in command of the Shadow Government isn't an easy job and Arthur wanted to prove being the best, specially coming from a more more humble origin that his bosses, but at the end, for them he was nothing just a pawn, no matter how much Arthur efforts, he would never be a Partner, because he have to climb for the success instead of born in it like the rest, in that moment, Arthur decides that a "change of direction" would be necessary

Came to say this. The abuse wasn't the only factor, but it was definitely one of the major ones.
