“tom doesn’t deserve -“ he tried to kill marco like, four times

this is the final time i discuss this.

tom is/was a manipulative character that orchestrated a ball to get star bonded to him when she clearly wasn’t into him, so knowing that, this action was 100% non consenstual and instead of the reaction i see today, for an episode that hasn’t even aired, he gained a cult following for it.

tom has showcased several instances of literally trying to kill marco over - what? yeah, his closeness to star. he’s manipulated him for it, he hated him for it, and marco didn’t even canonly have feelings for her at that point. Tom gained a larger cult following.

tom, banging on further manipulation, placed an unwarranted and unconsented curse on marco that prevented him from asking out anyone, but namely star! to ensure that she wouldn’t be with him and tom would still “have a chance.”

Tom gained a larger cult following.

These aren’t even all of the examples. And i realize these are pre…”development,” but they are still canon moments in the show that did not get ANY backlash from a fandom that has not shut up since noon today.

we don’t have the entire context of the episode but we do know that a) they were trapped and it was orchestrated by the goblin that kept them in there that they needed to showcase a romantic moment to get them out. b) marco confessed. c) star acknowledges that she is in and is commited to a relationship right now.

the fandom blows up, and insinuates these terrible, vile accusations that are actually sorta harmful to real victims? among other things, and i dunno!! it’s so odd to me. it’s also why I’m not taking any of you seriously, because the hypocrisy is not only sorta funny, but it’s actually really gross.

thanks.
