wait i just realized i saw a post a few weeks ago where someone was all mad that people have been grouping ofmd, wwdits, and good omens together as a trio cause to them it was like a copy of superwholock and people have even been trying to make a fun name like that for the trio (ourgoodshadows for example) and they were like 'dont compare these shows where the gay stuff is canon to the shows that were notorious for queerbaiting' or something like that but
they... they realize that people grouping shows into trios isnt something that superwholock invented? right? or that, at the least, its far from the only trio in media people have made, not even just when it comes to shows
i mean also theres other reasons people would compare these shows. i mean, first off... david tennant lol. but also just a lot of things.
that was just such a weird post. like yeah queerbaiting is shit and im glad, like all of us, that we are FINALLY getting canonical queer stories like this, but it doesnt do anything to compare these shows and trios and stuff... like it doesnt make the shows better or worse or make the world end or something

My favorite color is green. I play violin, though not very well. I love dogs, and volunteer at an animal shelter. I'm into sci fi and my favorite author is Ursula K. LeGuin.  I also like Batman comics.
And I also happen to be a FTM transgender man.  What you folks would call a TIF.
Ever since I was 10, before i even knew why, I hated my body. For years of my life, I had daydreams of taking a kitchen knife to my chest and cutting off the breasts. I tried to kill myself twice.
That changed 3 years ago.  I realized I was trans and bought myself a binder.
When it's on, I feel relief. I dont think of the kitchen knife. I'm not too depressed to get out of bed.
But after 8 hours, I have to take it off.
I plan on getting top surgery so this relief can stay.
I should note- this isn't about sexism or anything of the sort. Both my parents were outspoken feminists, and I've been fortunate enough to always live in progressive areas.
This is about people. And if transitioning can keep people like me from killing themselves? I'm all for it.
you seem to be engaging in good faith, so im gonna take you serious and not just be a dick. but man, this is my blog where i have fun and post memes. i hate doing this and am annoyed u sent this at all. theres so many radfem blogs that love discourse and im sooo lukewarm, im radfem-adjacent at best. im a fandom blogger at heart bro. who tf are you lol
first of all i do not care about your life story. youre like "please please see me as a person, we kweer transes are real people, i hope you can understand that even though youre a horrible evil t*rf. im reaching out to u because i believe theres still good in ur heart uwu" you people r annoyinggg
its not like i lack empathy, i was dysphoric and suicidal for a whole decade of my life and mostly surrounded myself with people who felt the same. what changed for me is realizing that my internal feelings about the gender-flavor of my soul didnt mean a goddamn thing and werent worth dwelling on. im a person and my body is female. at first i still wanted to change myself. i switched to id-ing as transmed, i was ready to acknowledge that i was born a girl at least but i knew so strongly that i wanted to pass as male and that it would make me more comfortable in my body. i was completely sure i was a man.
now ofc body dysmorphia is different for everyone but i really think no matter how fucked up your brain gets about how you naturally look, changing your body with medical intervention isnt the best answer. theres so many side effects and complications with each transition step. taking T in a female body can really fuck you up medically. keep yourself informed about what youre doing and think about if theres less expensive and drastic ways to go about fixing what makes you uncomfortable about the way you're perceived. and not to be insensitive, but if you have a history of s*xual assault, that can also be a very real reason for disconnect from your secondary sexual characteristics and ive met enough people that struggle with that sort of ptsd that manifests as wanting to trans their gender that i would rly think about where the desire to become male comes from. it could be a lot of things, and it can feel so real and valid dont get me wrong—but could fade away with time and/or therapy, leaving you reverse-dysphoric about your changed body
committing to being a transsexual while young is a tricky thing. i trust youve already thought it through but goddamn i promise you everything in life changes so much all the time. maybe this wont for you! but it might!!! it did for me and thats terrifying!!!!! identifying as trans is very much the current "its not a phase mom!" thing that teenagers do and you cant convince me otherwise btw. this isnt to say genuine trans people arent real and dont exist. and medically transitioned people definitely do, bc its exploded in popularity. but most of yall are a joke to anyone with a brain sorry lol most people are humoring you guys but would never admit it. this is a fate i wouldnt wish on anyone. being trans is cringe. or it will be soon, trust me
tldr i desisted from being trans myself after a full decade of self-id, various pronouns, etc. so i know where youre coming from. then when i started anxiety medication it helped boost me out of that spiral, which if u havent gotten medicated for other underlying issues i suggest you look into before jumping into hormones/surgery. ive heard that ocd can make u obsess about breasts and want them gone and stuff like that. body dysmorphia in any flavor is a bitch! im wishing you the best anon
also, read some self help literature instead of just fiction. i recommend 7 habits of highly effective people by steven covey. i read this for college and it fr made me a more functional person when i was still FtM and deeply depressed
edit: for the record im not gender conforming to femininity now. i see that misconception a lot, and forget that most ppl dont know what radfem types actually believe. i dress however i want, i just am not delusional about how i want people to address me. im just a lesbian 🫶

zeroses: queerosins & hetrosins fighting over twitter survey😕
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
tldr: a big hao pics account did a rosin survey and posted the results, the sexuality section being a whole 51% straight. queerosins started joking abt it bc its ironic but hetrosins took actual offense and start being homophobic forreal.. mind u these people stan ZHANG HETEROPHOBIC HAO🤕
we used to be a proper country..
Tumblr media Tumblr media
so earlier @/haopics posted this fun little thread of rosin demographics, like what gender, job, fav song/album, 2nd bias, etc is popular among rosins. super cute n just a fun interactive thing for the subfandom to have, right?? right….????😓
well no.. dont forget u cant laugh or smile in zeroseville they will jinjja slaughter u😕 the issue started when queerosins started making twts about the sexuality portion of the survey, all of which were clearly unserious..?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
there qrts were filled w these, and this was genuinely the worst i could find. no one LITERALLY no one was taking it seriously. like as a straight person if u see this and feel inherently offended then we need to run it back bc this is not any form of oppression..? as long as ur not an akgae, not HOMOPHOBIC, streaming his music and supporting him, trust me no1 actually gaf if ure a hetero rosin its just ironic. these twts shouldnt bother u?? maybe giggle at them a little? “im so sorry you have straight fans” should NOT have u pressed enough to tweet sht like this☠:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
whats it finna play.. WOAH🤕 when ur in a dramatic competition and ur opponent is a straight rosin.. “remember you cry on the streets to be respected”????????????? hello?????? discriminaton where exactly???? hao would block n report u all actually bc resorting to casually homophobia in response to satirical tweets made by a minority group is insane.. when u stan this man??
Tumblr media
what happened to like idol like fans?? like erm.. yall really sitting here upset over “heterophobia” coming from the fans of the heterophobe founding father himself.. idk maybe sit down and think long and hard abt who u stan🤕 best of luck w that
Tumblr media
LMFAOO THIS PERSON GMFU. please.. ples.. stop it… i am criiyng… Hao is my bias he is never gay pls… stop spreading rumours please……im tire of people saying he is home of sexual… he is chinese…..😓
there were were also some people who felt it was a bad idea to have the sexuality section included at all, bc its “no one’s business”:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
but it was a public survey..? wdym none of ur business when people obviously offered this information up😭 and "did yall ever see him for his talent" is a crazy thing to say in this context like what are u even talking abt dawg🫤 i guess zeroseville has gotten to a point where even talking abt sexuality has become discourse fuel. this is just so unserious like it shouldnt be a problem to mention and joke abt orientation without someone getting mad. yall speculate about the jebes sexualities constantly, hao in particular actually, and if thats not a touchy subject then why is this?? and why was yall's go to response ACTUAL homophobia like..
but out of everyone i feel so bad for haopics like they just wanted to do a fun thing for their subfandom and look what happened,, that dec survey def aint happening after yall pulled this nonsense😭
Tumblr media
bottom line everyone needs to unclench and smile a little (challenge level IMPOSSIBLE for zerosetwt)🤕

intro/pinned
hey yall im chrysalis (chrys if we're close) any pronouns that arent she/her
no dni but if youre deep into discourse (especially ship/queer/system/moral) im blocking your ass. or if youre just annoying
im doing a thing where im trying to go back through and tag my posts so if something ends up not appearing on your end thats why
id prefer if kids (especially under 16) not follow me but i dont plan on posting nsfw so i dont care too much. minors who knew me prior to 1/1/24 get a pass
tagging under cut
#reblog: most of my posts are this
#important: posts that are important
#serious post: serious posts. blacklist this tag if you dont want to see anything serious. im not tagging dont look for anyone just blacklist this
#sad-ish: posts that are sad or dreary but dont necessarily warrant the serious tag
#tw/cw [x]: things that deserve trigger tags. will not trigger tag fandoms, food, the word queer, the word tranny, or shit like sexualities/races/genders/what-have-you (ex. if you ask me to tag 'men tw' youre getting blocked and clowned). will always tag eyestrain, will try to tag gifs and long posts
#nsfw: posts that are nsfw in some way. amounts to jokes since i have negative interest in any sort of explicit material
i also just do general tags (art, promo, etc) and i tag asks if i get them
if you need something tagged throw a brick through my window

honestly this one's getting to me. this one's stupid. these reactions? where the fuck were they a year and a half ago? when people were CONSTANTLY DYING? yeah it's in the past but why are we being so out about it now? where the FUCK was it? and why are we JOKING about it?! what we SHOULD be doing is saying "hey! don't do that!" and move on. joking about it i feel is just gonna make it worse because some people WILL end up like: "oh they're joking so its okay to go without a mask!! hahahah" because those people DO LIVE OUT THERE. I KNOW SOME.
maybe it's the fact that i was constantly dealing with 1000s of people by me, within 6ft of me daily without a mask and stuff at WORK that's making me feel this way, but it's honestly annoying to see everyone be like "omg we should literally shame them to hell and back for this." yeah! we should shame them, but not to this fucking extent! im not finding this funny at all!
i recently had a meetup with my friends where 16 of us were living in a house for 6 days! maybe you'd think that if someone feels sick that surely they wouldn't go to a PARTY? they may want to see their friends but they're not stupid.
i get that it would take one person but unless they caught covid like anywhere from prior to getting there to at most a week beforehand, then they'd know. and they wouldn't show up. and most of them are likely vaccinated and while yes it doesn't fully protect you, it STILL HELPS YOU FIGHT IT AND IS ABOUT 96% EFFECTIVE. THIS ISN'T PRE-VACCINE WORLD ANYMORE! I get the fact that it's still irresponsible of them to do this! it is very much so! i'm mad at them for it! but im not going to be shaming them as much as the community is for this! yeah, maybe it's a wakeup call desperately needed for the world and many of the people out there, but i feel like this is a late, LATE reaction. where was this when nobody knew what this thing could do?
and why is it only with ccs? what about all these stores, malls, FESTIVALS, UNCANCELLED CONVENTIONS? LOLLAPALOOZA LITERALLY WENT ON WHILE DELTA CASES ROSE. WHERE THE FUCK IS THE TRENDING SHAMING OF THAT?!
Honestly, this is i GUESS a bit more personal than a festival, but still. there's a lot of bias. but what would have happened with things like vidcon if they had still gone on? what then? would people be ignoring it because they get to see their precious favorite cc? because im pretty sure a lot of the issues we're seeing here would be covered up.
im not saying "oh mask bad. vaccine fake. fake pandemic. ooh ooh." no, im saying that yeah, this shouldn't have happened, but it did. the masks and vaccine are more than important for progress back to the world returning to normal. but it's too much tonight and we're taking it a bit far.
tl:dr im not mad at the people who are shaming the ccs, in fact i 100% agree with them. im more mad at the fact that the reaction is only this bad now instead of earlier.
bad rant but reactions feel extremely late and biased and honestly feel like they're before the vaccine was out
please read the tags!

There was this trend on tiktok last summer abt ppl choosing characters/celebs they felt wouldn't judge them in a swimsuit at the beach
Now I wonder the opposite of that
Who from MDZS would judge you in a swimsuit at the beach?
I think:
1. Yu Ziyuan
2. Jin Guangshan
3. Wen Chao
4. Xue Yang & Jin Guangyao (they're not "villaineous friends" for nothing but they'd only judge you in terms of your swimwear choices not your body)
5. Jiang Cheng (he judges everything and everyone, it's not personal)
6. Lan Qiren (finds all swimwear inappropriate, get some modesty)
7. Wen Ruohan (why is he here, he hates it, might as well try to get some enjoyment out of it by talking shit abt ppl i guess)

long awaited ranmaru post because no one seems to understand why he did what he did
ranmaru isnt an incel or a yandere (anyone calling them yanmaru or incelmaru on this post will be blocked this is your only warning). if you look at his character he didnt do it because he was upset he didnt get to be with sara. sure, he had a crush on sara and thats why he wanted to escape with her but his reasoning wasnt just 'if i cant have you no one can.'
and i think to truly understand this we have to look at his encounter with keiji. yes, keiji seems to heavily imply ranmaru is jealous of him and im sure that plays into it but thats not the sole reason. he thinks keiji is untrustworthy, a threat, especially to sara. its why he still locks him away in the emotion route too, yk when he doesnt go 'yanmaru' mode or whatever yall wanna call that. and ranmaru has reason to believe this too. i mean keijis a very untrustworthy character, from hiding things from the group, being dodgy and mysterious, to just his general creepiness around sara (this is not an invite to start keiji discourse in my notes. regardless of whether or not you believe hes a pedo he still acts creepy towards sara and thats the furthest im getting into it).
but thats not all, keiji tells ranmaru he wants to be saras hero, he wants to be her savior and quite frankly, hes not wrong. it wouldnt be unlikely for ranmaru to have a hero or savior complex surrounding sara. i mean he has a crush on a girl in a death game, obviously he wants to save her but it goes much deeper than that considering he was willing to murder for her.
not to mention ranmarus already died and seen kurumada get practically blown to bits. death is a very real thing that could happen at any moment and he knows it.
its also likely his fear of death played into why he did it. he didnt want to die again, and as i implied before he doesnt want sara to die. he knows it can happen at any time.
"sara manipulated him and used him to kill everyone!" you cry. and to that i say, shut the fuck up.
sure, sara validated it but ultimately she didnt force him to kill anyone. it wasnt her fault. i dont want the point of this post to rally the blame to sara and off of ranmaru, ranmarus actions were his own.
so why did he do it in the logic route instead of the emotion route? simple. saras momentary slip up of validating the need to escape and win pushed him in that direction.
sara had no malicious intent, in that moment she's even freaking out over it, its like she cant stop herself and she immediately shuts him down afterwards but its too late. she shouldnt be blamed for something she had 0 control over and tried to shut down after, she wasnt the one who killed reko/alice and she shouldnt be treated as if she did.
and this post isnt to say "ranmaru did nothing wrong!!!" but rather explain why he did it because my lord if i see one more incelmaru or yanmaru joke or he gets mischaracterized again. i will cry.
t;ldr: ranmaru didnt kill alice/reko because hes a yandere. his crush on sara played into his reasons but it wasnt his only reason. he wanted to save and protect sara, he thought keiji was untrustworthy, and was afraid of death. he wasnt manipulated by sara either and she shouldnt be blamed for his actions. they were still ranmarus actions and not hers.

Also, I'm glad to see aces existing is enough to warrant them being put on a "MOGAI cringe blog" because of their "fake sexuality." Like, yeah, these arguments sure are making this community a safer place, aren't they?

weebs and using "yall" isnt at all comparable. weebs dont speak the language and only took up random phrases. most of the time they cant even read the language nor have any desire to seriously learn it. also it comes often with fetishizing east asians and with that has a racist background.
people who learn english as 2nd/3rd language and picked up "yall" on the english speaking internet, dont fetishize americans or southern americans nor do we make fun of it. sorry we dont speak your language as perfect as you want us to? "english is not your language" because a non-offensive word that makes sense to us as plural makes you cringe? do you act like that with anyone learning english? immigrants (like my parents) who speak incorrectly? because i find that way more cringe.
I didn’t say English is not your language like…you can’t have it.
here are the exact order of events - someone else made a post that literally ONLY said “when europeans use y’all lol” and in the notes there were people acting pissy including the “argument” of “what else are we supposed to do there’s no plural of you in English” among other inane things that don’t matter.
I then made a vague post about how there is the plural form or you, its you, and then further said or we can just bring back thee/thou. it’s both true, funny, and not a big deal.
I got a flurry of anons including someone making a loose association between weebs just using random Japanese words, and I responded “ “there’s no plural of you in English” sorry English is not your language” or whatever. maybe and probably not worded the best, but really just poking fun of just this weird idea of Europeans finding a reason to not be made a little fun of as if there NEEDS to be a plural you in english and therefore they can’t be, idk, called out I guess? Further back and forth went on in the notes about whether whatever anon said was even valid, which is fair I’m up for that debate. white weebs watching anime and saying “nani??” like a joke (which I literally talk about in those notes) seems fairly similar to white Europeans being like “I’m just going to pretend this slang has no cultural context and I can’t be called out on it” because they see some tweets and posts with it. I didnt make an 80 page dissertation about all the nuances about how I meant it, but this had literally nothing to do with Japanese and everything to do with a bunch of people going “wow wow you guys thinks it’s funny when I use y’all?? how dare you? America is imperialist and we have to use English because of you and your movies and y’all needs to be used because there’s no plural you and also it’s just sounds so funny people so it’s just a joke.” Like, a French person got mad about my anons. A French person got mad L M A O
I do sincerely apologize if anyone felt I was minimizing racism, because I don’t think people using y’all is the same thing as being racist, and I don’t think I made that claim, however at this point that’s not important. I do see parallels in this debate but honestly at this junction it’s worth just admitting I’m clearly not adept enough to have this conversation, especially since it wasn’t a debate I was interested in having. I just can’t give this weird discourse the amount of time and attention needed to not misrepresent myself, and plus i don’t want to do that because I don’t want to hurt people. Id rather be misunderstood than hurt people by trying to constantly save face about this.
So I’m really am not going to answer anymore asks about this or anything related to this. Just remember at the heart of all this annoying stupidity were some annoying Europeans who are fragile beyond belief and if they have a problem with me saying that then they can unfollow me because I don’t care.

ok sorry but how many people do yall think rog has ever slept with cos i’m guessing four figures no lie
okay, i don’t normally respond to messages like this because, frankly, i dont really feel like its my place to speculate on roger’s sex life. Theres a difference between writing a fiction story with a character named after and inspired by him and discussing his actual personal life which i have no real knowledge about. What he gets up to in his free time is between him and the women he does it with. but i didn’t really feel able to ignore this one. please don’t take this as me telling you off or shutting you down or anything like that. If you want to speculate about roger’s body count thats up to you, go nuts with it. and i love when you guys message me and I don’t want to discourage you from feeling like you can talk to me or just send me your random thoughts or whatever about any subject. But I feel like I need to address why I disagree with this sentiment. Also so I can ask ya’ll to please stop asking me questions like this. 
So firstly, just to get this out of the way. 1000 is a lot. even 100 is a lot. I think if rog had slept with 1000+ people he’d have a least a few illegitimate kids and probably would have been checked into rehab for sex addiction (not to mention STIs and such because lbr people in the 70s specifically probs werent the most careful especially if drugs were involved). I mean even if we were going to say Rog got lucky with a different woman after every show we wouldn’t reach 1000. According to google, Queen played around 700 shows in their entire career. If we add shows played by The Cross thats only another 67 odd shows (according to wikipedia). 
now, i think there are 3 things that contribute to this idea of roger as especially promiscuous. 1. His attitude/demeanour/general way he sells himself. 2. the generally held conceptions about rock stars and rock star behaviour. and 3. what i’m going to call fandom dumbassery (but i mean that with a lot of love) 
So lets start with the man himself. Roger Taylor is loud and opinionated and not particularly humble. He knows he’s talented and attractive though for at least some time he was a little self-conscious about how feminine he looked. He’s always up for a laugh, likes to party and has admitted to enjoying his drink and his women. He’s had kids with two different women, who’s relationships “overlapped”, and is currently married to a third. At least that’s the perception we can gleam from his interviews, behind the scenes videos, and other public appearances. 
It’s easy to see how that image leads to accusations of being a womaniser and a cheater and basically a bit of a slut lmao. But here’s the thing. I think Roger, in part, markets himself that way. The thing is, if you look at his solo songs and the relationships he currently has with his kids and their mothers, and things other people have said about him/his relationships over the years, I think it’s fair to say he also has a bit of a romantic streak maybe? idk if thats the best way of describing it...he’s self confessed to not being a fan of marriage and the like but he’s not opposed to writing and singing love songs and seems to believe in ~love~ as a concept/power. He certainly cares deeply for those closest to him. Whether or not that translates to an agreement with monogamy I can’t say for certain. It’s hard to draw conclusions here because a lot of what we know of his personal life was fed to us through magazines and news paper gossip column articles and they were never looking for the truth, they were looking for scandal and sensationalism. 
For instance the whole thing with the overlapping relationships. I think most people who have read anything about roger and dom and debbie realise that it’s not as cut and dry as “he was cheating with debbie and left dom for her” even though that was the story being sold by the press at the time. The reality (or at least the version closer to reality since obviously no one outside of them and whoever they were closest with knows all the nitty gritty details) is that rog and dom had already split when they got married. it was a marriage of convenience to make sure her and the kids would be looked after financially etc even after he’d moved out. So while it looked to the public like he married one chick and 30 odd days later was spotted with another, there really wasn’t anything untoward happening.  I’m not saying he never had casual hookups or one night stands and i’m not saying he never cheated, but I do think some of it’s been exaggerated, whether by him to encourage the rock star perception or by newspaper/magazine articles.
Now, obviously, we have stories of rog, particularly in the late 60s and into the 70s, being with multiple women. There’s that bit in the Interview with a Queen “Groupie” (which is a fantastic read and i defs recommend checking it out if you havent already) where she talks about roger being a chick magnet and says that, at the time, it was pretty common to sleep about. But, she also says she didnt notice him doing it more or less than anyone else and seemed to mostly be with Jo (his girlfriend at the time). This is the same Jo that got a mention in the Queen in 3D book (”i think we all had the feeling that these two were together for life, but it was not to be”). Conversely, we have that quote (which i cannot find rn but i’ll link it when i do) about roger sometimes having one girl upstairs while another waited in the garage for them to be finished. I think it was about Rog in the mid-late 60s in Truro but whatever. Obviously he wasn’t anywhere near celibate and it’s likely was sleeping with people outside of his relationship(s). But one has to assume that as he got older those kinds of antics stopped happening, at least as frequently.
There is one potential story that I remember reading somewhere along the way about Roger cheating on Debbie while she was pregnant. But, take that with a grain of salt because I can’t find the article again and also I think it was from like The Sun or something equally as rubbish. The press was notoriously always printing mean shit about the boys and that might have been another thing they published to create scandal. Even so, if we assume it’s legit that is still only 1 story. Not to throw him under the bus but Brian is the one with multiple confirmed affairs, who literally wrote songs about it all. So why is Roger the one with sleazy reputation? 
This is where my second and third points come in. There is a pervasive idea about what it means to be a rock star. The whole trashing hotel rooms, sleeping with groupies, passing out drunk every night thing. And I’m sure that Queen was like that to an extent. I think it’s pretty common knowledge that all of them got up to shit on the road. Between innuendo laden interviews and songs, videos and accounts of their parties, stories CT has put online, and other stories like the one of Roger bringing out lines of coke as dessert when he was having dinner with motley crue. They definitely embraced the rock and roll lifestyle. And I think with Roger’s personality being what it is, it’s easy to link him to those traditional rock star tropes and say it was all true all the time. I also think Roger has done nothing to counter those beliefs. He’s been open about how he wanted to be a rock star since the minute he picked up a guitar, he’s labelled himself as a great lay in magazines, he’s joked about girls pulling their tits out over dinner in interviews (though he said he didnt take her home), he’s written songs like One Night Stand and Dirty Mind and Airheads which explicitly mention his preference for women and alcohol. I think it’s fair to say he’s kind of encouraged that view of himself. Whether it was just a side effect of being part of such a well known band and having such a boisterous demeanour/personality, or whether it was intentional as a version of promotion i don’t know. maybe a mix of them? I mean I’m sure it didn’t hurt sales and stuff. it’s the whole guys want to be him, girls want to be with him thing, right? Maybe that’s just me being cynical though lmao. 
Anyway, the fandom brain has taken all of that and compressed it into memes and jokes about rog being the band slut. Which i’m not complaining about, lord knows i’ve made the same jokes and reblogged the same posts and used those tropes in my fics. They’re funny and lend themselves to interesting fic concepts. Plus, i think roger is the sort of person who would probably laugh about most of it. But it’s an idea that keeps feeding into itself through fandom, perpetuating what is probably a misguided view of his personal life.
Again, I am sure he’s had his fair share of fun and I’m not trying to make out that he was always perfect or whatever, but I don’t think he’s been with as many women as the popular discourse would imply and I certainly don’t think he’s in the 4 digit numbers.
