It's still a very common trope to justify a character being so dark and depressing because their backstory is riddled with death and abuse. Not other things that can make someone be depressed (stress, illness, self-guilt), just things involving deaths of loved ones and abuse. It doesn't help that the stand's appearance is based on FNAF, which is a franchise tainted by an edgy and cringey fanbase (who also happen to make edgy characters too).
