Things the SWSH fandom have done to Leon that are wrong (and a few are racist)

(warning, some topics will contain NSFW themes):

Man it has been a year since the game came out. We got to explore this new region called Galar, meet new rivals, pokemon and meet the champion.  I like the game despite it's flaws and some characters i grew attached to. I decided to check the tag for Leon and back then i did not know much about the fandom. As soon as I started playing further into the game I got to see what kind of character Leon is and I grew to like him a lot.  He's the unbeatable champion and hasn't lost a battle. He is smart right? well, not everybody thinks so. See the thing is i learned most of  the fandom likes to make fun of his clothes,call him annoying and i saw they also like to label him as a "himbo"

Honestly, i didn't know what the word meant so i looked it up. Himbo means "an attractive but unintelligent man" Something Leon IS NOT. Leon is proven to be undefeated and learn from every match he sees/partakes in. Read this word and this definition again.

Look into his room and you'll see a shelf of books. If you click on the shelf, it'll say they are books adults read (mostly about pokemon). If he has been champion since he was 10, how does that make him a himbo? People use the  "getting lost with directions" and "head in the clouds" as "proof" that Leon is a himbo.

Those are not good examples, even "smart" people can get lost or have their head in the clouds. Look at Sonia, someone on tumblr pointed out that she went into the crown tundra wearing a crop top.So ya'll make fun of Leon and his clothing but don't bat an eye when Sonia is out in the cold with her crop top and lab, skinny jeans and lab coat?

Leon's not dumb. Why is it that the champion Leon tag has him head cannoned as a "himbo" and that he lacks "braincells" honestly, he has them. The fandom doesn't acknowledge that. How is it that it's mostly he and Raihan are labeled as himbos? WHY?

Labeling the two poc guys as himbos and they are not just sounds wrong (and kinda racist don't you think?)

I have also seen some users go around and call Leon a Jerk, spreading "proof" that he is a jerk to Sonia and use this as proof:

No, Leon was not saying this in a "mean" way and no way is he a jerk about it. He complimented her. If this is mean, then her saying "he's got his head in the clouds" is mean.

Leon is also called a "sore loser" and someone used his battle tower losing animation as an example. In no way is he a sore loser there. What? Is Leon not allowed to have any emotion at all?

(warning NSFW themes will be mentioned)

The other thing i see is how people portray Leon as a super buff man who is "horny" and a pervert when it comes to Sonia. Some like to write/draw him as a pervert who peeks at Sonia's cleavage or get a boner when he's close to her chest something that Leon is unlikely to show. Not only with Sonia but I've seen  people force the "top/dom/big spoon" role on him, drawing him as a buff "bara" that looks nothing like him and make him perverted and horny towards Raihan, who is drawn like a "feminine twink"

Like why? I've seen some argue that Leon shouldn't be labeled as a "bottom" but then people proceed to label Raihan as such. Honestly mlm relationships don't have the top/dom thing. That's mostly applied to "yaoi", the fetishization of gay relation ships

tell me what about Leon makes some of ya'll think he's a "horny perverted" man? Honestly, he looks more interested in battling than love.

i still don't understand how is it that this game is one year old, and people STILL label him as a himbo. He looks attractive, but dumb? No. I am honestly tired of people trying to correct/ convince me and use "loss of direction" and "head in the clouds" as proof.

In conclusion, Leon is a smart, sweet gentleman yet a few portray him badly.
