#NO over-projecting or airbrushing how cringe he is. like i said it was ADMIRABLE

Saw your post about seeing someone else's insane choice of obscure blorbo and that kinda made me chuckle to think about myself in relation to it. I've seen a lot of people whose LGBT+ icons are all kinds of kind, conventionally pretty characters, and meanwhile my personal bi icons are Yumeko Jabami from Kakegurui and Harry Du Bois from Disco Elysium. Not sure what it says about me that my bi faves are a sociopathic gambling addict and a walking French disaster.

never heard of Kakegurui, but Harry at least is actually extremely popular, if you hang out in the right circles! he may be yucky disgusting, but he's also well-written, has a strong character design, and is thematically interesting! those kinds of characters are common favorites, and they've totally earned it !!

when I say "obscure, swagless, unloveable blorbo", I mean that I happened on a tumblr user completely hyperfixated on Mansley from The Iron Giant

(goofing off aside, I feel obligated to mention that using "sociopathic" in a disparaging way is ableist - the term "sociopath" is very much still in use in real medical settings and the association with shitty/villainous fictional characters contributes to marginalization of real people. look up "antisocial personality disorder" for more info on the spectrum.)
