Edit: please reblog this with some information about demisexuality, I did make a mistake here by saying "Cove doesn't understand sexual attraction" he does, so my bad on that part
SO, I usually don't get too involved in fandom discourse, but with how Baxter fans are acting about the loss in the MDDB I snapped and decided we should have a talk.
(This turned out longer than expected so more under the cut. I BEG YOU TO READ THIS AND TOP UNDERSTAND WHERE THE ANGER AND FRUSTRATION COME FROM.
This is all over place, I tried my best to make this as comprehensible as possible)
Specifically I want to talk about this fandom obsession with him and how, is getting to a point where people are legitimately re-writing the game and erasing Cove existence to have this fucking man instead.
And look, I want to say that I get the appeal, I do, but I don't because Baxter's route is genuinely the worst written one out of the three; Compared to Cove's and Derek's (and Derek treatment in the fandom is a WHOLE OTHER ISSUE) is really not. I'm not here to judge one taste, I am here to tell you that your love for him is ridiculous.
It is genuinely ridiculous how much popular he has gotten and so many of you are forgetting about Cove and how important he is to the story, and generally how he is important to a lot of marginalized people. Some of you keep forgetting that Cove is autistic and demiseuxal and that is such a rare representation to see and it is already erased in the fandom (especially his autism), but now is even more erased because people are grabbing everything that makes Cove Cove, and are applying it to Baxter.
That is also not touching the fandom treatment of Derek and how overly criticize his route his compared to Baxter's, like...DEREK'S PARENTS ARE GETTING MORE SHIT THAT BAXTER CANONICAL BIGOTED PARENTS LOL, WHAT IS THIS?? Are you guys serious?? I've seen a fanfic with Irene being transphobic, why the fuck would someone write that when Baxter's mom is right there?
And Derek shitty treatment doesn't end here because people are straight up erasing the guy and not ?? talking about on how well written he is ?? He is not erased sorry, he's forgotten, no one cares about him. And when people care is a) rare or b) so criticize to the point where is no longer a criticism but just you bitching about it.
And it doesn't end there! Baxter is so talked about that people are more interested in him making a cameo in OL:N&F than the main characters of that game, THAT'S HOW THINGS HAVE GOTTEN, We've gotten to a point where people cares more about some white man than Qiu or Tamarack, which are way more interesting than him as characters but neither of them are white skinny man so lol, who cares about them.
AND TO TOP THIS SHITSHOW IT SOMEHOW GETS WORSE FROM HERE BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T EVEN ARE CARE ABOUT THE INTERESTING ASPECTS OF BAXTER'S CHARACTER!!
Everyone is molding him like clay to create this, confident rich white boy when he is not?? and that's...the whole point of his route?? That he shouldn't need to put up this mask and to actually be a fucking human being?? THE FACT THAT HE IS A QUEER KID WHO HAD TO CUT OFF HIS PARENTS AND HAD TO BE INDEPENDENT FROM THEM AND LEARNING TO NOT DEPENDENT ON HIS PARENTS? (monetarily wise that is)
And like, people forget the man is queer, he is queer, he's a queer person who had to hide who he is to his parents and then had to cut them out for his own sanity, and no one mentions it.
The fandom as a whole erases queer identities,when this game is literally made FOR queer people don't you love it when straight people come into our spaces and erase our identities lol, that is a problem that more people should acknowledge, alongside the fact that Baxter's stans have taken over this safe space, overtook the main love interest, and ignore the genuine interesting aspects of Baxter's character to make him their own little doll they can play with and not appreciate a guy who is trying to learn how to stop being that mask everyone in the fandom has fallen over.
And I know, I know , I will get shit for daring to go against your favorite white boy, but consider that some of us played this game because an autistic character was in it, consider that this game is queer friendly and the fandom is also erasing that queerness to make horny fan fiction**, consider that some of us fond comfort in Derek and Cove's story and now we see everyone overtaking their stories by a white boy (that you can find in every other game), consider that his talk is tiring, consider also the fact that Baxter is technically queer and no one ever talks about it, consider that this game was a safe space for marginalized people and now it no longer feels that way

**with horny fanfiction I mean people re-writing Cove whole personality (and sexuality if we're being honest here) and making him this...horny big man when...he is not? He got stressed out by simply having to share a bed with MC, he's extremely shy around the subject of sex and he gets incredibly nervous about it.
I personally think that is due of both his queerness and autism (and yeah his personality, but autism affects ones personality so lol, sue me) since demisexuality means he genuinely doesn't understand how people can feel sexual attraction, and mixing that with autism means he probably doesn't understand the SOCIAL pressure around sex and having sex.
Granted that's speculation on my part but as someone who is (probably) autistic and asexual I can tell that, at least a majority feels this way and Cove is literally is the type to have this kind of mentality, he does not understand how Baxter can flirt with him after mere seconds of knowing each other

Imitation X
oh my lawd im writing again
Professor Utonium
In imitation X the girls refer to him as father/professor, mostly the latter out of respect (think to kill a mocking bird)
The Professor chooses to be distant from his family. I wouldn't say hes negligent but hes no where near the attentive father as in the show. The reason being is after his wife died all he sees in the girls are her features. Hes a pharmacist! He was a scientist until the death of his wife (there was no medicine created for her illness yet).
There's not much to say about him. He has a temper on him though and is very quick to hand out punishments without listening to the "guilty" girls side of the story. Seeing as Blossom can very easily pass the blame to Buttercup or Bubbles this creates a rift between him and them.
Mojo Jojo
His real name is Joseph but its shortened to Joe (Jojo by the Professor)
Hes the oldest of the Professors children. I like to think he remembers their mom more than the girls do. Speaking of the girls he resents them! While the Prof definitely treats them wrongly he favors them over Mojo by a LOT and it shows. He spent their childhood terrorizing them; from teasing to hitting them, everything from scaring them with made up stories to locking them outside in the rain for hours and worse (ill explain later). Hes done it all with no shame and has no remorse about it.
He also spent an equal amount of time getting into trouble on purpose. He is smart so most of it couldve been avoided but seeing as negative attention is all he gets from prof? He gets caught on purpose. Until an ex of his came forth and admitted that he got her pregnant and the Prof kicked him out (enter the rowdy ruffs). Because of his behavior during the girlses (???) younger years he became their most common villian in their game which made them more scared of him which in turn made him more cruel to them (because he realized they were more scared and he just wanted to scare them more i guess). After getting kicked out he was taken in by his uncle.
HIM
HIM is a character who will remain nameless for plot purposes.
Hes the Professors flamboyant gay brother. Yeah. The professor sadly doesn't approve of his brothers lifestyle and hasn't so much as uttered HIMs name in years. This lead to the girls completely forgetting his name and just saying HIM much like their dad. He isn't in their lives since the prof doesnt like him. He however holds a lot of love for the girls and Mojo (he does not know the extent of what Mojo has done to them). The only time the Professor and HIM come together without prof being a jerk is the holidays.
Absolutely nothing else to say about HIM so yeah thats it bye bye
