The author has already decided long ago who will be end game. Doyak has already said they don't usually read comments so it won't affect their work. Author stated season 3 is the season that will reveal who the endgame is. Personally I think you all need to calm down and enjoy the story and where it will take us.The author is an amazing writer. They have given us multi dimensional characters. Just because TJ and Ian are having screentime with each other as of right now does not mean Jo is losing. In fact alot of us are pretty sure Jo will be the end game actually

It obvious the author is still leading with Jo being endgame but she's definitely not pressured. Have you seen the way she acts with readers on X? Yeah she don't give a single fuck what we say. More like playing in to get more money from the popular top stans (isn't the first time we seen it) before the confirmation.
I agree there could be better ways than but let's be real, 95% of readers have always hated Ian since S1 nor understood him, it just that this time they're just being more vocal on it because he did something they didn't like, knowing he's still condition to tj actions. It just weird many complain about Ian being unlikable but never the one who put him in those positions and reacting in that type of way
It’s OBVIOUS the author wanted Jo to be end game but was pressured by readers to change it to TJ (it makes sense) BUT they are doing a really bad job at it and it makes Ian unlikable at times, should’ve just made them a throuple instead
