I'm sorry but I think its good that tom is saying stuff that makes you all uncomfortable. I think everyone is a little too willing to make him the hurt innocent underdog
#not able to articulate it fully which is why its in the tags#but however downtrodden he may appear he's still one of the large club of white men governing the show#and the gay shadowing and his relationship with shiv made him oversympathetic to most of the audience watching#but this man is not a victim like whatsoever ๐ building on that post i reblogged today#the entitlement is something ever present in the way he interacts with shiv#and something interesting i notice is how its only ever with shiv and greg#who are people he can control in a romantic and professional sense#especially because greg is kind of a foil to shiv when it comes to tom#โi will not let go of what is mineโ etc etc#and the subservience to shiv only lasts as long as she's his only way into the family#as soon as he has an in with logan (janitors of idaho id say?) most of that stops#even in s1 as soon as the ships scandal comes to his attention he's all too happy to hide it + the ravenhead issue#my point is he's never been a good person and idk why any of you are surprised. especially don't know why the shiv haters have been arguing#what is basically reverse sexism ๐๐#as if it wasn't abundantly clear from s3 that he exercises just as much & more control as her if he wants to#with the period tracking and the baby thing.#idk maybe i will make a better post clearly i have thoughts
