me *sees someone saying how much they hate Billy Dunne*: actually it is more complex/nuanced than that and being a straight up anti is a boring response when instead you could be entertained by him being Like That.
me *sees someone saying Billy Dunne is just a complicated guy and it’s boring to react to him with hatred*: actually you Should hate him at least a little bit and also think he’s complicated if you don’t hate him At All you are Not To Be Trusted imo (and if you don’t have the same *complicated* energy for Daisy I’ll block. And possibly based on how you speak about Camila I could also block)
me *sees someone complain that his character in the show was ruined compared to the book because the writers only cared about him in the context of his feelings for Daisy*: that’s Very stupid why on earth would he matter to me much if Daisy wasn’t also there what use would I have in a story about him otherwise? None
(+also don’t take statements that his attitude towards women is fundamentally different in the show it was terrible in the book too and I’ll die on that hill, if anything I’m glad the show made it clear how delusional/hypocritical he is for some of the stuff he thinks and it increases my enjoyment of him compared to the book where his ideal narrative of himself and his relationships gets more leeway I said what I said)
