Yk I keep circling the issue of like how Armand gets talked about in the fandom because he does do some bad shit but at the end of the day nobody has to put a fucking disclaimer on their Lestat posts do they so I'm pretty confident in saying its just fucking racism. Every time anyone mentions Armand in the broader context of the whole show they have to do an aside about how hes an irredeemable monster who we are only discussing in the context of fiction but everyones favorite mediocre white guy doesnt need a disclaimer because everyone just magically understands that this is the choose your favorite war criminal show when the war criminal is blonde.

#saw someone say that all the sympathy armand got was completely undeserved #and how dare people insinuate Louis maybe didn't treat him all that well #and i was like ohhhhhhhkay #i see #i see where we're at #and dont come talk to me about anti blackness as though its only black people who experience specialized forms of racism #you really think framing armand as manipulative and deceitful and sexually impotent is racially neutral? fr?#racism is not one size fits all there are stereotypes specific to south east asian men that yall need to read up on #and then maybe look in the mirror
