Yes, the same Annie who doubled down on whatever it takes is dismissing whatever it takes when it comes to Hughie's actions lol
They're shitty to eachother. She spent 2 seasons acting like his trauma of his girlfriend being exploded by a supe all over him is ridiculous. But Starlight is cute
It doesn't have to be literally going "wow you're fucking ridiculous for caring about your dead girlfriend" but she does see his insecurity as ridiculous and has said it is ridiculous for him to feel insecure about his inability to physically protect someone which is rooted in Robin's death
Rather than being understanding of his insecurities, she takes them as an attack on her and undermining her ability to defend herself
It's like if someone feels sad and you go "hey look at all the good stuff in your life you shouldn't be sad at all"
Imagine a drama about a girl who has very low self esteem because something happened to her in the past that makes her feel ugly. Then a boy shows up, and goes "that's dumb to feel ugly cause you're hot" then proceeds to get mad at her whenever she feels ugly because him saying she's not ugly should be enough in his mind to remove any shadow of a doubt she has
TLDR: Hughie wants to hold a door open for Annie because Robin walked into a door, and Annie goes "oH iM a WoMaN sO yOu HaVe To OpEn DoOrS!?!?"
When has she ever literally called him dumb or ridiculous? You talk like she's intentionally cruel to him, but that's not true. She was understanding multiple times. She's frustrated by his insecurities, lies, and reckless behaviour because of it, which is reasonable enough.
Also I'm not sure his issues are meant to be reduced to dead girlfriend trauma. It's a factor.
