#whenever I'm reminded that he's actually quite attractive it makes me very frowny

I am not a Naoya fucker, largely in part because I am not willing to be belittled, blamed, shamed, downtrodden, or assaulted to assuage the ego of some smug, entitled asshole enough to get him to come down a few pegs. But I do see the sort of tragedy in it, that he's very much a product of his environment, that he's probably very insecure despite the superiority complex, and that his potential as a sorcerer is definitively stunted by his growing up in one of the sorcerer family's most traditional forts. It does not justify his literally violent misogyny and I don't have any desire to play in those waters. However, he also has enough hints to make him a very colorful character and when it is done right, I can occasionally respect someone swimming out in the shark infested riptide.
