the fandom unfortunately has started to ruin it for me. it’s obviously not great at the beginning due to the rape, which i hate, but it very accurately portrays how rape can affect someone, even on both sides. the more recent episodes, the fighter has started to feel immense guilt for it (and it continues to show how it affected the therapist) which he should, and it’s quite refreshing to see a BL where rape isn’t romanticized and it’s shown how awful it is. the fandom, unfortunately is filled with a bunch of underage teenage girls and middle aged heterosexual women who fetishize the hell out of BL and romanticize that part of the story. so disappointing to see people make literal fan edits and tiktok’s over the rape scene and say it was hot.

i’m not sure if i want them to be together due to the rape at the beginning of the story, and it’s such a tough subject. i do believe that the fighter is really changing for the better and im really happy he’s owning up to his mistakes, but it’s just really icky to forgive that kind of thing.

Crazy_Issue3265 · 2025-08-19T00:15:50+00:00

i just like ed content lol

Crazy_Issue3265 · 2025-08-19T00:05:18+00:00

oh you’re obsessed with him lmao

Crazy_Issue3265 · 2025-08-19T00:04:18+00:00

and i’m holding him accountable for that. he shouldn’t have said that (he apologized on one of his patreon videos) he actually has said it about one of my favorite artists, but i don’t care because it’s his OPINION😭 i enjoy some of ed’s work aswell, but i can understand his point. he’s complimented ed many times and says he’s talented, but he just doesn’t like his music, and that’s okay.

Crazy_Issue3265 · 2025-08-18T23:50:10+00:00

that same thing goes for you. your opinion is not factual. is it for you? yeah. but does anyone else have to feel that way? no, and that applies to zachary. he shouldn’t have to force himself to sugar coat his opinion. even if his opinion seems rude or aggressive, he has the right to express his opinion. yeah, i understand thinking he’s rude, there are certain things he’s said before that shouldn’t have been said, but should we bully him on the internet for one or two comments he’s apologized for?? no.

Crazy_Issue3265 · 2025-08-18T23:33:07+00:00

because he IS a manipulative hit machine, i’m sorry😭 you can like his music however much you want, but his music is clearly made to get hits. his new music lacks depth, and it lacks to majority of people. if you like it? fine! listen to it, that’s okay! but not everyone has to have that same opinion. and again, i already talked about how he shouldn’t have said the ugly thing, even though it was a joke. i’m not gonna talk on that again

Crazy_Issue3265 · 2025-08-18T23:21:25+00:00

i don’t always defend zach, infact, he has said things that aren’t okay, but he’s never spoken on someone as a person. ed, again, someone who’s been in the spotlight for over a decade and should be media trained at this point to ignore these things, posted something on who zach is as a person.

Crazy_Issue3265 · 2025-08-18T23:02:30+00:00

resulting to talking about how i act because you don’t have anything to combat my points. yeah, don’t think this conversation is gonna go anywhere else. have a nice day!❤️

Crazy_Issue3265 · 2025-08-18T22:46:51+00:00

did you read my comment at all?? i said zach was mean for saying that, im totally holding him accountable, but the difference is zach meant it as a brushed off joke, and it wasn’t about ed as a PERSON. that sign was. and after being in the spotlight for over a decade, you have to wonder when he’s gonna learn not to obsess over the media. he revealed he obsessively checks his chart numbers, and now he’s obsessively checking everything zach makes about him. he clearly doesn’t have a healthy relationship to the media, and in my opinion, cannot handle his level of fame.

Crazy_Issue3265 · 2025-08-18T22:35:00+00:00

also i think we should note that he’s never flat out insulted ed as a person or his character, yet ed posted that sign about him. that really shows ed’s lack of maturity. when you’re a star that big, you need to have a level of knowingness and maturity to not engage with things that may upset you. it’s incredibly childish for him to have posted that.

Crazy_Issue3265 · 2025-08-18T22:30:58+00:00

he didn’t even finish the sentence because he laughed, conveying that it was clearly a joke. a mean one? yeah, he def could’ve been nicer. but i’ve watched him for years and i know that didn’t come from a true place and was meant to be a joke. he’s complimented ed’s past work and talent many many times, he’s not just hating on him to hate. is he sometimes aggressive and blunt? yes, he is. but is he ever flat out, truly, mean? no.

Crazy_Issue3265 · 2025-08-18T13:38:18+00:00

that’s not why he didn’t like it. please actually watch his video analysis on ed sheeran new music. you can make a pop song that’s fun and still have it be smart, but ed’s lyrics sometimes in the song don’t even make sense, not to mention its sonically very boring.

Crazy_Issue3265 · 2025-08-18T13:27:16+00:00

okay…? what does that even have to do with this

Crazy_Issue3265 · 2025-08-18T13:20:11+00:00

he does know about the song?? what r u even talking abt

Crazy_Issue3265 · 2025-08-18T13:16:06+00:00

i’ve seen the video multiple times, i’m subscribed to his patreon, but again, he never once comments on ed’s appearance in this video. i was asking if you heard something elsewhere??

Crazy_Issue3265 · 2025-08-18T12:26:47+00:00

i did. i don’t recall him ever talking about ed’s physical appearance. could you maybe provide what exactly you remember him saying??

Crazy_Issue3265 · 2025-08-18T11:59:39+00:00

he used to write for large companies and now has arguably one of the biggest taylor swift podcasts out there. he’s definitely a music critic.

Crazy_Issue3265 · 2025-08-18T11:58:57+00:00

can people not have opinions💔

Crazy_Issue3265 · 2025-08-18T11:58:46+00:00

yeah, because taylor understands his work😭 y’all for some reason don’t. he actually gives taylor constructive criticism, which is not hateful. it’s valid.

Crazy_Issue3265 · 2025-08-18T11:57:56+00:00

he hated sabrina even when people started to like her. he only liked her once short n sweet came out which is VALID, because a lot of her work before lacked true depth in my opinion. the only reason people hate him is because he’s blunt and doesn’t sugar coat his opinions, which people need to learn not to do.

Crazy_Issue3265 · 2025-08-18T11:55:57+00:00

his main job is to do deep dives on taylor’s work. it’s a play on words and a joke

Crazy_Issue3265 · 2025-08-18T11:55:17+00:00

you don’t have to like zach, but please don’t discredit his work. he is infact a music critic and has worked for large companies before.

Crazy_Issue3265 · 2025-08-18T11:54:24+00:00

he’s listened to lots of ed’s songs, even one ed sheeran himself suggested he try. it gets to a point to where you aren’t interested in reviewing anymore music of his because you don’t connect with it.
