Wow, I had no idea people were sympathizing with TJ of all people. I feel bad for Ian and Jo, TJ can kick rocks
He is the most popular because he's hot and unfortunately a lot of people on other platform are like this....you can barely see anyone who defend or say Ian deserve better but you'll always be able to find people thirsting for TJ and " TJ deserve better" or "Ian doesn't deserve him." comments. Mainly on tik tok. Most content creator too...they just thirst over TJ....and they always has something to say about Ian but never TJ tho. That's their husband lol.
Thank you!! Ian is sadly another example for what happens to people that are not “perfect” victims
Yes and I can't help but think that it also reflect how many women have internalized misogyny. Not just with the wetsand community but in so many other community. There always people sympathizing with the top despite what the top made the bottom go through. I also notice that alot of people love bottom that seem like they are top. Not just in appearance but also if the bottom is seen as the manly one or the dominant one in the relationship then they'll receive love. It just make me cry seeing how much hates Ian gets and it just feels like it's a reflection of a lot of not perfect victim and what women faces. There are so many TJ stan and Jo Stan but people who love Ian are like endangered. I love Ian so much. I just want him to be happy even without Jo or TJ.
I agree! I know a lot of people are of the opinion that it’s ’’not that deep’’ but peoples reaction to Ian’s actions mirror the way the public reacts to victims in complicated situations that face deep internal conflict and therefore dont present as/ act like an ’’easy to pity’’ victim very well and it’s concerning. Theres too many easy to miss homophobic and misgynistic remarks in this comment section, which I dont think they themselves realize they’re making
I went into this story with no bias towards either TJ or Jo and came to sympathize a lot with Ian’s character and experiences, which… this story is supposed to be about HIM in the first place, but I wont go into that again I don’t think some readers understand that TJ isn’t being put in a bad light now, he HAS been a POS throughout the series but I digress. We’re going through a media literacy epidemic and people love dumbing down shit in order to see it fits their narrative
Those tj stans mostly self inserts themselves to the mc
When I pointed out that TJ BEEN MANIPULATING AND LEECHING OFF IAN'S VULNERABILITY FOR 19 years they are silence. All the good thing they said about TJ is only about his look and how he's typical bad boy gang depiction. For me bc I like pretty top, as it's my personal opinion, TJ look like an npc gangster as an ml's leader assistant or something. I personally don't understand where exactly is his hotness physically, but I understand people's taste are different lol
I was with you until the last line. Tj don't deserve shit let alone Jo.
Maybe I'm sensitive. I keep on seeing people on Tik tok. On here hating on Yw. And I can't help but feel like crying? Actually, I am crying. He has been through so much as well. Seeing him speaking out about what he wants for the very first time to his closeted lover who has been somewhat an abusive partner to him. Never giving a label to what their relationship is. Seeing so many people truly believing that he doesn't deserve anyone and that he is the only problem. Making it seem he is intentionally trying to get with both TJ and Jo. He finally speak out once and he is being called selfish. TJ has selfishly hurt Ian. He ruined Ian career. He broke Ian leg. He put Ian in prison. He put him in debt and made him sell drugs... People are only sympathizing with the two tops for some reason especially TJ. I see people invalidating Ian trauma and the thing he went through with TJ. Belittle and degrade him to a slut because he sleep around but in the same breath they are fine with TJ sleeping with other women. They feel pity and angry for the top only like why is that? Ian deserve to be love as well. It's so upsetting seeing him go through so much as well but receive so much hate with people spinning the narrative to make the two top ( well more like TJ) as the victim. I can see why people love Jo and feel angry for him not just because of his looks only but I just can't understand the people who truly believe that TJ deserve better (he deserves to be happy but saying he deserves better in regard to Ian is not it.)because I can't see any other reason besides the fact you like the way he look and you think he is this dude who is willing to give up everything for Ian but in reality Ian given up more for TJ has ever did for Ian. Seeing Yw believing that he isn't worthy of any love or being able to love normally and people just gloss over how he feels. Would it help if a top were to show these feeling? People would be in the comments section talking about how they feel for the top,no? Majority of the TJ solo Stan are like this. They do not want Ian and TJ together. They want TJ for themselves....ATP I don't even want to root for anyone because most of the people here believe that Ian doesn't deserve the two top anyways. If he ends up with TJ he will still gets hate. If he end up with Jo he will still gets hate from both sides because not only the TJ stan will tweak out but the Jo Stan already think Jo deserves better. I just want him to be able to have normal life at this point. No need for there is to be any endgame. Just make Jo and TJ be together so Ian can get a break from all this unwarranted hate.
