What she says: i’m fine

what she means: Sonia Nevermind is perhaps one of the most overrated Danganronpa characters to date. There is little more to her character than ‘cute looking princess who likes edgy things’ and she is also given very little development throughout the series. Also, her being forced into a love triangle with Kazuichi and Gundham singlehandedly decimated both of their characters as well as hers. Additionally, Kazuichi appears to love her for who she thinks she is and not who she really is, while she disregards him and treats him like garbage, making their relationship incredibly toxic. Also, despite the rampant popularity of sondam, Gundham never seems to actively express romantic interest in her. Yes, he does enjoy her company, but his intentions toward her are never shown to be romantic. She is also mainly just using him to rebreed animals in her country, showing that her intentions with him are far from pure and making their relationship toxic and one-sided as well. The whole love triangle trope between her, Kazuichi and Gundham also destroys the relationship potential existing between Kazuichi and Gundham, shown when they spend time together at the diner during Chapter 2 FTEs, and the nickname Kazuichi uses for Gundham, “Hamster-chan,” which was not translated into the English localization of the game. Also, Sonia apologists and Sondam shippers frequently bash people who do not like Sonia and ship Soudam for “not liking her because she gets in the way of a ship,” ignoring the fact that Sonia is an outplayed trope, and an all-around terrible and underdeveloped character who has managed to singlehandedly destroy herself and two other, otherwise perfectly good characters, with huge amounts of relationship potential between them, using another outplayed relationship trope, and acting like her getting in the way of a ship is the only reason anyone could possibly dislike her.

Ah yes… cannot agree more.
