Klaus Hargreeves: Master Manipulator

Klaus Hargreeves: master manipulator

I have read so many posts, comments, confessions talking about unfairly Klaus is treated by his siblings regarding some situations more specifically the light supper when Ben possessed him (only because Klaus was being an asshole and ignoring Ben begging him to acknowledge his presence so it was well deserved honestly) and no one paid much attention to him. Almost everyone in the fandom made a huge fuss about it.

The main issue here is that most of the fandom is in denial about a huge aspect of Klaus’s character or just see it as a apart of his so called “charm” aka MANIPULATION & LYING. Klaus is a master manipulator and a compulsive liar we have seen this trait throughout S1 because he used lying & manipulation as method to get money so he can score drugs, and in S2 where he deceived, manipulated, and lied 1000+ of people some of them who are actually very smart, like that lawyer and Jill who had scholarship to Berkeley, a black woman in 60’s had scholarship to a semi IV school and she gave it up to follow Klaus.

Klaus lies & manipulations are actually so very effective that he was able to BRAIN WASH 1000+ of smart people for 3 years straight (and beyond because they still kept up Klaus’s cult going even after he left the 60’s) and even leaving them/running away from them and telling the truth (not even actually trying that hard because he couldn’t care less about these people) wasn’t enough, he has BRAINWASHED them too strongly that they would need a professional to help them to deprogram the brain washing Klaus has accomplished.

Now unlike those 1000+ of innocent people his family KNOWS who he is, they grew up with him, they’re fell for his lies & manipulations countless of times until they realized that’s all they ever will be, Klaus has been “the boy who cried wolf” toooooooooooo many times for his family to ever believe him or take him in any serious manner, they know for sure 99% of the time that whatever Klaus is talking/blabbing about is most likely 99% complete bullshit and they’re just fed up with it so when as far as they know (because he LIED to them about Ben ALL SEASON LONG, only Diego & Vanaya knew because of specific situations, other they two wouldn’t have known) Klaus is acting all “weird” to them as far as they know it’s just Klaus being his usual manipulative self acting out to get attention or just acting “weird” (which to them is perfectly normal by then) for the sake of it.

Klaus is a grown ass man, no one should blame the consequences of his actions on his siblings, and his actions is what got him in that situation in the first, the situation I’m referring to is that none of his siblings ever takes him seriously, he’s been manipulating and lying since his teenage years and he NEVER shown that he changed at all, his cult in S2 is yet another evidence that Klaus is 99% is fake, manipulating, and lying, he’s the one who choose to lie about/hide the fact that Ben was there all along he’s only suffering the consequences of his actions, so really it’s HIS OWN FAULT and NONE of the siblings should be upheld the responsibility of taking care of the second OLDEST sibling who REFUSES to take of himself, it’s already HORRIBLE enough that Ben is kind of FORCED to do so and has been doing it for the past 17 years as a ghost and for all the good he tried to do for Klaus he only got SHITTY TRETMENT, he has been taken advantage of, ignored, installed, and NOT once did Klaus ever thank him or was grateful to him or showed him and kind of caring.

I don’t want any of the rest (well maybe Vanya I couldn’t cares less about her) to end up in the same situation as Ben or get blamed for Klaus’s actions, behavior and the consequences of said actions, it’s NOT fair to put them the responsibility of their man child, second oldest brother on them, it’s NOT fair that the whole keeps pointing fingers at the siblings but NEVER on Klaus himself or demand he actually takes responsibility of HIS OWN ACTIONS.

all the fandom ever talks about how much of “cinnamon roll” (as if) however his HORRIBLE action are NEVER actually ever discuses ALL the SHITTY things he does or how he FUCKED the history/destiny of over 1000 of innocent people just because he was bored then he did NOT care enough to even try and fix for REAL(he simply blames his followers for following him and NEVER ever admits he has done them any wrong) it’s completely glossed ever and just seen/taken as humor, just another “funny” Klaus thing, it’s NEVER taken seriously by the fandom, or the actual horror of cults and how they fuck up people with the brain washing, instead there are actually fans who found the idea of Klaus’s so appealing, they actually want to voluntarily to be BRAIN WASHED by HIS BULLSHIT which is just honestly sad & horrifying because NO one should ever romantzice the idea brain washing and cults because there’s nothing good about them, it’s as bad as romantzicing toxic abusive relationship with 50 shades of grey movies or romantzicing Stockholm syndrome with 365 movie.

In conclusion the fandom should stop blaming/holding the other siblings the responsibility of Klaus’s actions & the consequences of his actions, they are NOT his care takers nor should they be expected to be his care takers.
