Ive Been Saying This Shit For MONTHS - Tumblr Posts

Some people in the fandom are way too willing to judge a character based entirely off the way they look. And it sucks.

Another anon brought up that a lot of people hating on Demetrius may be fueled by internalized racism. Yeah, that sounds about right.

A lot of people think Elliott is some pompous stuck-up prick just because he... has a nice side profile? And takes care of his appearance? I've literally never experienced him being mean to me in any way. He's one of the characters who's flat out nice to you when you first move in.

A lot of people will take one glimpse at Alex's sports jacket and run for the hills thinking he's some stereotypical bully. He's never been mean to me either. He has some misguided ideas due to internalized toxic masculinity, sure, but he almost immediately realizes that's not cool and drops it.

And by god, if I see one more person claim they love Sebastian but hate Shane, I'll lose it. I guarantee if ONLY their portraits swapped, so would people's opinions on them. If Shane was a hot emo boy while Sebastian was a greasy rugged older bachelor then people would be way more likely to fawn over Shane. They're both depressed losers, it's just that one is younger and "hotter".

If you hate a specific character then you need to seriously consider something; Would you still hate them if they looked significantly more attractive to you?
