Ironically, I think you’re stating a lot of things as a matter of fact when they have never explicitly been stated. There is no canonical statement across any bleach material even confirming that ulquiorra was a vasto lorde in his original form lol. You, as a reader, inferred that even though it was never said. Just as you did that, many bleach readers are inferring that the there is something unique about ulquiorra’s origins due to how many factors are unique to his nature + birth:
1. He was born with no mouth, meaning he couldn’t feed to get stronger like all other hollows do. It is possible he could have had a mouth in his previous form, but that is unlikely as he explicitly stated to be born beneath the sands of Hueco Mundo to a specific race of humanoid bat-like hollows. I’m not sure how that could even happen. Did they all happen to follow the same Gillian->Adjuchas->Vasto Lorde evolution at the same exact time and coincidentally look like each other despite being aggregations of thousands of different souls? Not likely. one thing is clear: ulquiorra didn’t just evolve from a Gillian/adjuchas state directly into the form he appears in as he first remembers. It is worth noting that kubo confirmed hollows can reproduce. That could be the missing link.
2. A core part of his narrative is his fascination/obsession/desire to understand human nature — which is entirely unique to Ulquiorra. No other hollow does this because they have obvious ties to their human origins (in some cases they explicitly remember their past lives) and nature (dominant personality of the Gillian ends up persisting through the lifecycle as we can see with other arrancar). One could interpret that this fascination with human nature is due to him lacking human ties. At least, that’s how I view it.
3. Segunda etapa being unique to him, allegedly unknown to Aizen, and the reishi it emitted being described as feeling entirely unique implies ulquiorra is different from the other arrancar.
Also, it is worth mentioning that some hollows existed before hueco mundo existed.
Things are a lot more up to interpretation than I think you realize in the bleach verse. I think the claim that ulquiorra is a natural born hollow is a lot more believable than him being a human who followed the standard hollow lifecycle.
Just had a guy in my Discord server named some dumb shit like "The Zoggiest Goy" use the n word so I told him to prove he's black or I will ban him. He actually posted a video and he is indeed black and I am speechless
the real answer is that it's a trauma response.
the reason why you don't see anyone taking the time to defend it is because trauma makes people do objectively inane and dysfunctional things and there's literally no way to rationalize any of those contradictory thoughts/actions to someone without it sounding like an admission of incompetence.
idk man. I’m sure the script wasn’t specifically written for a black man and i feel like black characters are allowed to be bad people without it being taken as racist
