I was in my own bubble for so long that when I started to actually read other's comments I was shocked by the amount of Tj support. He isn't just some bad guy because he's involved in a gang. In this story he's a POS because he orchestrated Ian's ruined past. All because he wants to have everything and sacrifice nothing.
The fact that he spent all this time trying to keep Ian by his side and not once did he attempt to atone by even confessing to Ian said a lot. He was ready to get Ian fully back into a lifestyle that Ian hates and would never confess a thing. Ian's happiness means very little to Tj.

They definitely are using him as a placeholder. And it's ironic because it's just sexual fantasy so they don't bother to ACTUALLY put themselves in Ian's shoes. Ain't no way they'd want what Ian's gone through for themselves.
Also I've seen on Twitter and tiktok people confessing that they skip chapters where Jo is the focus or only read chapters with TJ in them. They literally are not reading the story and then have the nerve to claim TJ was written OOC in this chapter. No he wasn't, this was always him. It's so obvious that they thought this chapter would be the one where TjIan gets solidified. Saw a twt user saying that Ian knew what TJ did to him (break his freaking leg!!) and still chose to go back to TJ and they thought it was ROMANTIC (⊙…⊙ )
Well I definetly missed some middle chapters bcz I didnt know he broke his leg.. Like.. Abuse, toxicity & violence and ppl ship it & especially he went back to him?
It doesnt matter that it is fiction, it's a no no, a blocker for sure
