My reasons to hate Drake

First things first, I'm the reales- wait, wrong theme. First of all, I would like to say this is NOT an unbiased recap, this is literally just me listing things I've hated about Drake for years. You might as well join in on the hate train. Go watch some YouTube video essays on this if you wanna know more!!! You'll find plentyyyy

Certified Pedophile ("allegedly"): Texting teen girls until they're of age and then go and date them. ew.

Cosplay Gangsta: disrespecting the culture as a whole, but especially what hiphop is about. Flexing money, cars, girls, drugs, clothes bc he never understood hiphop was never about flexing, but about being heard bc you're oppressed, about revolution. Now we got his die-hard fans running around acting like this is true rap. no. "You don't know nun bout dat!"

Culture Vulture: jumping from trend to trend in order to make it "his own", faking accents that he has no business playing with and dropping them as soon as he's done with this specific type of genre bc it's not trendy anymore. Adapting whole "personas" around this, instead of just merely collabing with other artists. Jamaican and African accents are just 2 examples here.

Blackness: Drake never really got out of his acting career. Back on DeGrassi he was acting as a high school jock. Now he's acting like a tough black guy who's from the streets and knows what it's like to be down bad, when this was never his life. Lil Wayne warned him to never change and act tough just bc he would sign to Weezy's label where the rappers were predominantly "gangsta type dudes". And what did Drizzy do? He's acting all tough and "outta dem streets". He's clearly overcompensating for not feeling black enough (I've already reblogged 2 posts about this, pls see these for further context). Drake's mad for not being referred to as a rapper who speaks on being black, when in reality the black experience was never of topic in any of his songs. He also doesn't give back to the community.

Lil Wayne: Drake had relations with fellow rapper Lil Wayne's gf (she actually was of age, ayoooo!) while Wayne was away in prison. Wayne got word of the fact his gf was cheating on him with the young guy he signed under his label and was pissed. Drake, in an effort to smooth out the situation, got Wayne's face tattooed on his arm. Say what you will about portrait tattoos, but this story is just so fucking typical Drake. How the fuck do you think this is gonna help anyone?

Validation: Drake donates money in the music video for God's Plan, only to earn more money with that video/song than he donated in the first place. He felt good about donating and then never did that shit again.

Numbers: As a great man once said: "Crack fiends bought 10 million rocks, that don't mean it's good. It don't mean nothing." (As you can imagine, that man was 2Pac). And with that I say that proving your worth in the industry by numbers don't mean a lot. It means you and your team figured out the market and started producing stupid, vapid, but terribly long albums to maximize streaming numbers, automatically bumping up your place in the industry. This is about quantity, not quality - good rap/ hiphop was never about that. Drake actively validates his music and status with his fame, money and streams and neither him nor his fans seem to get that says nothing about the artistic value of his music. "Numbers lie too, fuck your pride, too!" (I mean really, Baby Shark has 14 Billion views on YouTube - you think that's REAL artistry, Mister Aubrey?)

Cocky Ass Bitch: I would be okay with a lot of his music if Drake just knew his fucking place. He went pop ages ago, but still people (including himself) refer to him as a rapper - no even, as THE rapper, placing him in the Top 3. Sometimes I feel like y'all do this, just to piss me off personally. Apart from everything else wrong with Drake, there's nothing wrong with liking music like his persé. Not everyone likes conscious/ deep stuff and sometimes, when you with the homies, you just wanna chill and listen to something "mindless" - MIND you, I'm not looking down on "non-conscious" rap, I'm just saying not every artist has to be woke/ deep all the time and some "empty" party anthem about girls, fashion, cars and alcoholism is fun at times. These party anthems deserve their place. And a child actor turned rapper turned POP STAR is valid in my books - just not if it's Drake. Apropos cockiness: The dude compares himself multiple times to Michael Jackson and while that got a few good lines out of him, I believe it's close to fucking blasphemy. Drake and MJ on the same pedastal. I mean sure, questionable stuff happening with kids, both of them wildly successful in their industry (mind you, streaming like today wasn't around back then and many of the numbers cannot be compared), but one of them a real talent and the other one some guy who more or less made it as an industry plant. "I can dance like Michael Jackson? / I'd argue your skills really lack, son!" (okay sorry, I know, that was corny as fuck xD) Dude is flexing with numbers instead of poetic abilities -

About the art itself:

Ghostwriters: "What poetic abilities?", I hear you ask - Yeah, don't think I forgot! Best believe I been cooking this one. There's evidence for Drake having ghostwriters - which on its own is fine, don't believe every star writes every single bar on their own. My problem with this is, that Drake keeps his cocky attitude, even though many of his hits aren't really Aubrey-written and also many ghostwriters never get their credit (this is why they're called "ghostwriters", I know that this is not something specific to Drake, but slapping one more name on the credits ain't that hard, when you're worth a billion bucks already). This is the rap equivalent of flexing your homework when you know DAMN WELL copied it off of your best friend and did nothing for that success. I guess his song Right Hand wasn't about a romantic interested after all, but the dudes who been writing it!

STOLEN SHIT: Why in hell is no one mentioning this on here? Drake is KNOWN for stealing other artists' verse metres (referred to as "flows", y'all tumblr, idk how much you guys do know, okay?), melodies, whole beats, samples or verses in general. In no other studio would you see mentions of a "reference track" concerning songwriting. They take a song as reference and build around it as they construct a beat. There's PLENTY of evidence for this happening, one story really had me baffled, where a young indie-rapper met Drake in the early 2010s, gave him his CD to listen to and a whopping 5 years later the indie-rapper realizes Drake just fucking stole his entire song (a really personal one at that) on his latest album back then. Being indie, of course the guy had little to no means of fighting back with lawyers or anything, man's was working a 9to5 job and had other stuff going on. Before you wanna argue with me though: YES. There is a difference between stealing and paying hommage. One famous example is Drake biting Eminem's Superman flow on Chicago Freestyle: "But I do know one thing though/ Bitches, they come, they go/ Saturday through Sunday, Monday / Monday through Sunday, yo/ Maybe I'll love you one day/ Maybe we'll someday grow". The only good thing Drake ever did was changing Em's "Bitches" to "Women" on his song. Other than that: exact same few bars. This is a hommage. Why? Because Eminem, that's why. You can pay hommage to great, well-known artists with good bars. It takes a common ground of knowledge from artist to audience to make a hommage like this work. That can go well. Kendrick copies the flow of a Kanye West song on HiiiPower and it works just fine because you listen to either of the song and think: "Ah yeah exactly, that one part, okay, I see you." You don't pay hommage to a small, unknown, indie-rapper by copying his whole verse about his Mom, when you would never say stuff like that on your records before. You don't, because it wouldn't work. None of your listeners would understand the innuendo at all, because no one ever heard of the "great guy you'd be paying hommage to". So shut up.

Music: It's just not that good. Like yeah, he had a few bangers, but let's not exaggerate. Artistically Drake does not offer anything. If he ever did, he probably left all of that on the first few albums he still rapped on. His delivery sucks, his singing voice sounds like he's tryna be The Weeknd at times but isn't. The lyrics aren't special. What the fuck?

Euphoria: Even before getting deeper into hiphop, I've always hated the way Drake presents himself. When Kendrick said: "I hate the way that you walk, talk, dress" I felt that. I hate the way he "raps", the way he drags his words, the way he laughs, the way he "sings". Just a whole lotta shit I dislike about the guy.

Sneak Dissing: If you want beef then get in line, don't just kinda allude to it, you weak ass bitch

SENSITIVE ASS BITCH: I love a man who's in tune with his feelings but Drake being the cosplaying gangsta clown he is, acts like he's all tough when in reality, you can't really say shit to him, cause he "can't let this shit slide, ay".

Kendrick's Control Verse drops - a verse calling out multiple rappers saying Kendrick will come for them in friendly competition for the crown of being the best. Drake was mentioned. Everyone thinks it's kinda cool and goes along. Drake is mad. In an interview he basically said he found it fake because the next time he saw Kendrick "it was all love" and that he wanted it "to be real. Let it be real then". Okay crodie, next time you get called out in a fair rap competition, best believe I'll sock you in your fucking throat, I gotchu.

The Weeknd doesn't sign to Drake's label OVO after working with Drake for a while. Drake is mad again and feels betrayed. Why you gotta be like this?

Kendrick says that he doesn't wanna collab with Drake because their music is too different, not because of anything personal. He just doesn't see it happen in the near future because it would not match artistically. Drake gets mad.

Drake stopped beefing with Pusha T back in the day. Probably because he exposed his son. But still, if you want beef, then clean up your plate, bc you eat what you order and dont't just start to "let this shit slide, ay"

("allegedly") being involved in XXXTentacion's passing back in 2018 over beef. This beef started because of the flow of X's popular song Look at Me!, which Drake stole shortly after letting X know his management would contact him about a possible collab. As you can imagine, X was never contacted by Drake's people. The kid was 20 years old, man. He said some outrageous shit at times, but no one deserves to go out like he did.

Also, the famous DMX ("Y'all gon make me lose my mind!") once said in an interview that he'd like to punch Drake in the face and I support that. Kendrick and his homies laughed at the clip - as did everybody else, cause it's hilarious if a beast and a legend of hiphop hates Drake. Drake was mad at Kendrick laughing about it and not taking it seriously. What did he expect? Should Kendrick have went after DMX and made him apologize for what he said about lil Aubrey? How old are you? 5?

Drake gets mad at a lot of shit - bottom line. I could go on and on, but I've been writing this for hours, it's half past 3 am and I wanna sleep after uni and work, y'all.

DURING THE DISS-ERTATION: this section is about shit Drake did during the beef with Kendrick.

Saying Kendrick's Like That verse was weak af. That's your core response? Someone flames you and people are already throwing ass to the mere sound of it and you think: "Huh, that sucked anyway." Pathetic.

Calling Kendrick short (over and over and over again) as if his height is under his control/ his fault? - as if that takes way from Kendrick's skill, Kendrick's allegations againt Drake! - as if that means ANYTHING AT ALL to people over the age of like... 12?

Going after anybody's family in the first place. I know nothing is really "off-limits" in a rap battle like this, but please have the fucking decency. Don't mention my Momma, my kids, my dog, my fam, my friends who ain't got nothing to do with the fact that I hate you. I will say I am not proud of Kendrick for getting down on that level himself - but I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy Meet The Grahams and the sheer panic it induced. And sometimes I gotta be a little childish and yell "But Aubrey started ittt!"

Hitting on Whitney in The Heart Part 6. Don't go for another man's treasure, you absolute dog. Accusing Whitney of being unfaithful. My friend, this beef is about us (the Culture) hating you and the things you do. Stop trying to shift this into something it is not.

Reacting to diss tracks via instagram stories and memes, like he's that one popular girl in 7th grade who's gotta clap back to something someone said in school on her IG. Shut up.

Calling The Weeknd and his manager gay. Are we not over homophobia yet? Being queer is not an insult. Also falsely "accusing" people of being gay is uncool as fuck - but oh "You don't know nun bout dat!" bc false accusations are basically everything you do - and also possibly outing someone like that is fucking hurtful as shit. I know the people involved are probably not queer at all, but if they were - period.

Using AI in a song at all. Drake, you already proved you suck. Don't force it down our throats. What part of you thought it would make you look good? What part said it would be good to do in a diss track, when the world knows diss tracks are even more a show of capability than other songs. Nah, you go and use AI. Idc about your "mind games": Using AI Snoop Dogg is just weird as fuck cause the Doggy is still well and alive - if you want him to feature on your song, call the legend and ask hi- oh wait, you knew he woulda said "Aww hell nah!" cause everyone hates you? Huh. Snoop probably woke up one day, hit a blunt and asked "When the FUCK did I collab with Drake?". Anyway, using AI 2Pac is straight up disrespectful, when you know damn well the guy would've hated you if he knew who you'd become. Just doing this because it's 2Pac, because you can and not even asking for permission of Pac's people is crazy. Glad the shit was taken down anyways.

The 8 Mile "Airing Out Your Dirty Laundry"-Trick before the big battle does NOT invalidate future claims on you diddling kids. No. Not even if 2Pac says it first. Nah.

His Damage Control Effort in post to make it seem like/make us believe that he's in control, when Kendrick has been bodying him is hilariously embarrassing. Anyone can claim the mole was fake "all along" after it happened.

Making fun of Kendrick for his verse on Taylor Swift's Bad Blood is just stupid. Look at all the features Drake does. Rihanna, BadBunny, DJ Khaled, Future, PartyNextDoor, Lil Wayne, Diddy, Nicki Minaj, Wizkid, ..... the list is so fucking long (I'm just picking at random songs at this point, cause I do not want my browser/spotify history to be associated with Drake's music. I don't wanna go out of my way to say he NEEDS these people to stay relevant but let's face it: His discography and his success would be different if it weren't for them

Acting like he's so great for "finally making Kendrick rap again" - Sir, you don't write your shit on your own, stfu. You don't invest time and effort into your vapid albums. YOU should be thankful for Kendrick destryoing you, giving us the best few lines out of you in a long time.

Not addressing important shit. We been over the allegations, I will not repeat them in this post cause this is already long enough. BUT y'all on the same page as me, aight? Instead of addressing EVERYTHING, he just responds with diss tracks that aren't terrible but really not THAT good, yk? Not going into the shit that we want to se addressed.

Acting like disstracks need replay value. Idk if this is a Drake or a fanbase problem, but people really act like Drake's tracks were better, bc you can listen to them more casually. "Kendrick basically made a whole song about Drake" - THIS IS WHAT A DISS TRACK SHOULD BE! Notice how we don't call every song containing a diss immediately a "diss track"? That's why. Diss tracks were meant to hit your opponent in the stomach with witty bars, double entendres, nice delivery and good production. Diss tracks weren't meant to be club bangers - bonus if they do end up being some though, looking at you, Like That and Not Like Us.

Not reading into stuff properly or just not listening. This is a small one, but ngl I hate the fact they got the Mother I Sober reference wrong (The song is NOT about Kendrick being abused, BUT about Kendrick not being abused and his Mom NOT believing him and passing her sa trauma onto him, even though he didn't experience that). Also Kendrick explicitly says "DOT, the money, power, respect / The last one is better" on Like That and Drakes response (again) is "Huh, I have way more money than you and in the industry, I'm way more powerful than you. Also, you so short tihhihi." BITCH he SAID respect was the most important of the three and you disrespect him, not by calling him out by his wrong doings but by picking on physical features the man cannot change like a 5th grade bully.

Anyways. phew. If you made it this far... wow. I'm impressed. I'll keep updating this. Thanks for coming to my beef talk.

EDIT: Thank y'all for the positive reactions on this post. If you seek more info/ want me to further explain stuff/ have even more dirt on Drake, let me know and we can work something out. -Frankie out

"Ewwwww Chaos's new design is such a downgrade from the first game" Yall I get that body horror is cool and Hades 1 Chaos looks incredible, but... did any of you even play the first game? Yknow, where this primordial being befriends Zagreus and eventually reconnects with their estranged daughter after eons of isolation? Would it not make complete sense for their growth to be represented by appearing more human now?

"But they don't look androgynous enough!" Uh, fuck you??? Why is it necessary for a nonbinary or agender character to appear androgynous? I don't see any of you saying the male or female characters aren't masculine or feminine enough. Yknow, because that would be fucking stupid. Gender stereotypes are bullshit and nobody would get that better than the god who predates them.

Also, none of what I said about the reasons for why they look this way even matter, because they look uncannily like Meg and there's almost certainly going to be a story reason for what's going on there that will elevate the design.

I don't mind if you prefer the original but please just be slightly normal about it. I wish I was making up these comments, but no, some of you are really like this.

Am i wrong to think that in stuff concerning music, Venti should at least get a mention if not an appearance and even a few lines? Like....you can't just make him say, "i know all music past present and future," make everything about him related to music and not include him in music related events.

Also

I get that Venti's second story quest and his lore is mostly endgame content but he literally has so much to offer do they have to act like he (or other characters too) doesn't exist until those big reveals? This amount of delaying really causes the audience to disconnect and even forget about some of the important points

Can't they at least give *some* content with him? Like, none at all? It's just kinda really frustrating, and i feel like they're stalling too much it's so disappointing.

In all fucking honesty whenever a franchise hypes shit up to this huge extent it usually turns out to be not really that worthy of it all in the end.

I wish Venti wasn't made by hoyoverse.

don't like when people refer to me as "innocent" because I'm not interested in sexual things as much as them. just because i don't like sex doesn't mean I'm a child. I'm not, like, stupid for it, or naive, or unaware. I'm just not a fan.

disclaimer here. most people do not do this. but like a select few people that I know DO and it's driving me crazy im gonna lose it

asexuality is not lack of knowledge and it doesn't make you more "pure" or "innocent" - in fact, the association of purity and innocence with lack of sexual desire is just really gross to me. like, for one, it implies that when I become more mature I will be interested in sex, which is not the case. and for two, it implies that enjoying sex makes you less "pure" and less "Innocent", which is also gross.

but mostly it's the superiority that certain people!!! seem to have. not all, but some. like " I read smut, you wouldn't understand. haha, it's just a dick joke, which I know you don't get because you're too innocent for that, you're so sweet. " as if I've, like, never been on the internet in my life. i literally read and write fanfic I know what these things are and I choose not to interact with it because I am not interested. it's a choice. it's not ignorance.

anyways it's infuriating and it's stupid. cut it out.

there is nothing better or worse about people who like sex or sexual things, there is nothing right or wrong with how you like them. but infantalizing people is weird and gross and i can't stand it.

Really feel the need to call out this insane manipulative crap that Adobe is trying to pull on me.

They are l.y.i.n.g. this e-mail bears literally zero relationship to reality, it's a bizarre attempt to try to trick my organization into thinking this was a ~mistake~ and in a place run by multiple people heck it might even work but it's just me up in here and here's what actually happened:

last month I got an e-mail from Adobe

that e-mail said, basically, "when your annual subscription renews next month, your monthly rate will go from $30 per month to $60 per month

I'd already been planning to scale back, and go to having only Acrobat probably, but at this ludicrous money grab, I instead completely canceled

it took forty minutes to figure out where in their website I COULD cancel but I eventually managed it

a week ago iirc I got a reminder to renew

and today I got THIS.

SUSPENSION? In your goddamn dreams, Adobe, I told y'all and your 100% increase for the exact same crap programs to GET STUFFED and this manipulative nonsense makes me EVEN MORE SURE I did the right thing.

I swear, everything Adobe does makes me that much more sure that I will never use Adobe again. It's like they're actively trying to lose my business, but this, I'll own, I'm honestly appalled. Not "we're sorry to see you go." Not "here's a discount, please come back" (they did try that, before, as part of the cancellation process, disgusting jerks). Nope, just, "this is YOUR fault and you need to FIX IT" like I still want access to their garbage.

Hey Adobe? Get fucked.

On Shipping Catwin

Here is a big ol' rant essay that is very meaningful to me.

The cat king did bad things

I want to make it clear that I know the Cat King is a villain, and is not "consensual" as he says. He made sketchy demands for sex from a place of power, he forced Edwin to stay in town against his will, he secretly watched Edwin via his cats, and he kissed Monty without consent.

So the Cat King is just another example of "bullies" being "proper villains". They talk about how the witch is a "proper villain" because she kills children. But Simon killed Edwin. He was a bully who killed a kid. Charles's bullies also killed him, so they are kid killers. But the cat king kept the detectives in town so they couldn't escape the witch, who then killed the poor nobody ghost and Niko. It's not directly his fault that those things happened, but he still was a major factor in endangering their lives.

Bullies can sometimes grow and be redeemed

So the Cat King is a villain, but he did have character growth. He went into the woods himself to try to save Edwin. He was killed by the witch in attempts to protect Edwin. He gave Crystal and Niko info on the Witch even after she killed him. He gave Edwin a flower in the end, knowing that Edwin was leaving and he would get nothing in return.

HOWEVER. This is also tumblr. And I ship catwin. Why? Because I believe that the cat king will continue to have character growth if he spends time with Edwin. And I love writing redemption arcs. I love reminding my readers that even people who've done horrible can be loved, so of course the readers can be loved too. It's a hugely important lesson to me, and I think people need to hear it. You are lovable. Period.

I ship their redeemed selves

But, because what I'm seeking is a redemption arc, I don't ship the episode 2 cat king with episode 2 Edwin. I ship a theoretically redeemed cat king with a theoretically unrepressed Edwin. I'm interested in what would happen if they got closer, became friends, stayed up all night talking about their trauma, forgave each other, and then fell for each other.

I'm interested in analyzing Dead Boy Detectives as if it's a literary piece of work, and writing meaningful fanfiction. But to be clear, I'm not above looking back at the cat king in episode 2 and saying he's hot. Because he is.

And I think it's very important that we can simultaneously say "he is hot and he has done bad things" because we need to have the ability to see that hot people can hurt us too. Being hot doesn't mean you are a good guy. A show making a character hot doesn't mean the show runners believe he is a good guy. Thinking a person is hot is not the same as condoning their actions. And shipping a character does not mean you condone their actions.

Okay, I know it's probably been said before but I am a BIG fan of how the different coping mechanisms of the main characters of The Amazing Digital Circus are portrayed. Like, it seems like a lot of the main characters could be described through how they cope with the idea that their actions don't matter. (I JUST WANNA SAY HERE THAT THESE ARE ALL JUST MY INTERPRETATIONS! IM NO EXPERT, JUST A STORYTELLING NERD) (SPOILERS FOR TADC EP 1 AND 2)

Ragatha plays along, seeing Cain's games as a way to practice escapism. She pretends her problems don't exist, and actively avoids confronting them (Like how there's clearly still SOME kind of tension after Pomni ran instead of helping her, but she says it's fine). She doesn't try to change things because she believes things CAN'T be changed.

Jax just does whatever he wants, because if his actions don't matter in the long run, why shouldn't he? He also practices escapism, but in a very different way from Ragatha. Instead of playing along, he is horrible to the people around him because there aren't any consequences anyways. He also avoids anything he finds stressful, much like Ragatha (He looks upset for a frame before rolling his eyes and walking away when Kaufmo's funeral is mentioned). Both of them refuse to confront their problems, and would much rather ignore them through each of their preferred types of entertainment.

Zooble doesn't really have the energy to participate in Cain's adventures, because their mindset is that if nothing matters, why should they do anything at all? They do put effort into some things, such as setting up Kaufmo's funeral, however so far it's been shown that they prefer not to participate in Cain's activities unless they are actively forced to.

Kinger. Um. I don't know how to describe Kinger if I'm being honest. Same with Gangle. We don't know a lot about either of them yet, but I'm sure other people have some fantastic theories on those two! My personal theory is that they're actually NPCs, because Cain mentioning the risk of mixing up real people and NPCs felt significant. It's kinda a very loose theory though, and it has literally ZERO proof, so

FINALLY, POMNI. I am a HUGE fan of Pomni's characterization! The best way I can describe Pomni is, if she was in a time loop, I imagine that she would, without fail, try to prove that she is a time loop to her friends EVERY loop to try and get their help. She's very clearly struggling a LOT in episode one and the beginning of episode two, but once she actually makes a friend, and later when she realizes that the others DO care, she starts to actually have hope. While the others have less healthy coping mechanisms, the way that Pomni copes with the idea of none of her actions mattering in the long run is, "At least my actions matter to the people around me." Having a support system matters a LOT to her, and I think that's why Pomni is going to be the one to get all of them out of there. The others have given up on escaping, resorting to escapism and/or apathy to cope, but because Pomni copes with her surroundings through her friendships with others, I don't think she'll give up like the others.

Anyways. I love TADC so much. I am SO excited for what's coming up next, and if Gummigoo doesn't come back I'll cry /hj (gummigoo getting eviscerated destroyed me on the inside)

Dear Anti-Endos,

Respectfully, get the fuck out of pro-endo spaces. I know it's hard for you to watch us being happy and accepting ourselves for who we are. But that doesn't give you an excuse to raid our communities.

We don't hurt you. We don't claim to be taking over the community, nor do we "glamorise" plurality. We exist, and have carved out spaces for us just as you did for yourselves. We do not invade your spaces, telling you how to live, or how to present yourselves.

All we do is exist, being our own people. I don't understand what compels you to attack us, to make us want to revaluate everything about ourselves. Telling us we can't exist, or that we're lying to ourselves about our trauma, is completely unwarranted.

And as a reminder, plurality is defined as the state of two or more conscious beings sharing a physical vessel. There is no mention of trauma in that definition.

This was in the tags on some other post and it's completely baffling to me.

How....how can you not be trans in Stardew???? Is there a sign? Does Mr. Qi pop in every once in a while to say "hey, you're cis kid" like?

There's literally a magic altar where you can change your avatar's gender in the wizard's basement but even disregarding that....

"I'm going to be one of those people who sees Leo as straight or bi at most. Honestly, while watching the show I never interpreted his attitude as him being gay. I saw his mannerisms and behavior as just part of his personality and not him being anything. People are different. Their personality doesn't always have anything to do with their orientation.

Leo is a character who literally said in the first episode that his jokes and attitude is his way to cope. I don't like labeling characters or anyone based on how they act, what they wear or how they walk because these things are much more complicated than this, and especially in Leo's case, considering that his personality is hugely based on his character arc, but it looks like people don't want to look deeper into Leo's character and see more than him just being gay and having an excuse to ship him with Usagi who isn't even a part of the show.

People are even using literally any little detail from the show as an argument to this headcanon, even though creators themselves could refude it. Like with Don Suave for example. While people say that Leo was attracted to him shows that he's gay, one of the creators said that Don Suave is so attractive that anyone would fall for him (which was actually in the episode itself when he says to Leo not to look at him directly), and that they had no more thoughts behind this idea. Not to mention that Don Suave/Hueso is a grown man with a family while Leo in this episode is 14-15....

Not to mention how aggressive a significant part of the fandom to the point that they say that this headacanon is canon and being aggressive towards those who have their opinion on this topic and don't agree with the "Leo gay" headcanon. I've seen some saying "if you don't agree, well, you're wrong!" and calling people homophobes and being aggressive towards them just because they said they don't like this headcanon, even though they could have nothing against gay people. I'm sorry, but people like this just make me want to avoid this part of the fandom, and a lot of people avoid it because of how aggressive and forcing it is, which is not okay."

WARNING MENTION OF DARK TOPICS

ok so there something that Frustrates me that I gotta bring it up

so we all know the epic musical right a amazing musical with amazing people with a amazing talent of story and songs and we know it’s based on a popular greek myth the odyssey but I been noticing people getting angry of Odysseus cause “he cheated on Penelope by sleeping with everyone in the world”

ok first of all 1 it was just two woman Circe and calypso

2 it was SA he was forced to sleep with them cause Circe and calypso were forcing him to sleep with them making him a sa victim which is pretty messed up like it’s like that thing on TikTok “we need to make more representation of sa male victims you couldn’t handle him”

like he does love his wife but you guys gotta remember the people who sa’d him were gods he had no say in the matter which is disgusting and makes me feel bad for Odysseus and I don’t really support some of his actions example killing off the baby and such but guys come on

he didn’t cheat on his wife and you guys saying he did when he was sa’d is disrespectful and disgusting on your part

3 ITS LOOSLY BASED ON THE ODYSSEY if you look into like what Jorge said you can see it says it is loosely based and plus we aren’t in half way the saga yet and we don’t know what’s changed yet

it frustrates me how people like that just invalidate people like Odysseus cause he is male disgusts me to me your no better then man who Sexualize snd invalidate woman who endured sa

Like if it was switched if Odysseus was a woman and calpyso and Circe were men I bet you like thousands of dollars that you would be saying how disgusting calpyso and Circe were

anyways that’s all I shall say thank you for reading this

Money is a Construct. We treat it like it was invented before humanity was a twinkle in the eyes of the gods. But it's not. Money was something some idiots made up to divide us and make us hate each other. Get rid of money (or heavily devalue money), and people's lives will get a whole lot easier. I too could print coloured paper and assign a value to it, and you'd all say I'm insane. But that's what money is. Money is green paper that we collectively assigned value to. $1000 is the exact same as $100. It's all about perspective.
