Sheriff Woody’s past can definitely be considered bad if reported in a certain way. He once in a fit of jealousy accidentally pushed a fellow toy out of a window resulting in both him and the other toy, Buzz Lightyear, going missing for an extended period of time. It was more or less unprovoked, and while it was an accident, the press doesn’t tend to report things as totally fair when trying to do a takedown piece. So, one could imagine that the presentation of this particular event would be simply “toy who can’t handle no longer being the favourite maliciously pushed other toy out of window, ensuing events result in both toys going missing from their family”. Obviously, the headline would be snappier than that, but that would be the gist of the content in the article. While on that adventure Buzz and Woody learned from one another and became lifelong friends, the events were traumatic and caused both to change forever. And, those events were all Woody’s fault in the end. There could also be dubious reporting about a plan largely concocted by Woody resulting in all the toys in his family including himself almost being incinerated in a garbage dump. While that one was as a result of a dangerous living situation and looking for a better life for everyone, it did get very hairy for all involved.
