That is because such characters are usually made from a certain points of view of the writer. A Woobie needs to be the most mistreated or sabotaged soul a wrtiter can cook up, or at least among the most. Because of this, the less the writer knows about real suffering the weaker the Woobie. There are many 80s, 90s and 00s family movies about kids who are the Woobie of their story because their parents don't listen to them, or they don't have many friends in school, that is the extent of their tough childhood, how weak do those sort of people look to people who imigrated to the US or UK from war-torn countries?

"Oh the prettiest girl in school can't get anyone to check out her blog, poor baby. I mean I left Afghanistan to come live with my grandparents because my home was bombed and my abusive mother and father finally died of starvation, though at least that gave us something to eat, but yeah we had it easy compared to Disney Movie of the Week who can't get anyone to sign her blog."

It's the same thing with rap or the blues, you become good by going through the things you write about or at the very least witnessing in others first hand. Generally anyone who has actually been or known a solid Woobie in real-life will expect a certain live of real tragedy.
