Twitter Rollo drama is so fucking painful to read
Twitter is so annoying 
especially with Rollo Flamm rolling up
Like why can’t you just accept that some people are not comfortable with a character that’s going to end up having parallels with a character like Frollo? 
They’re all just like who cares Yana toboso will shotafy anyone
I’m like bitch its not about him being a shota its about how wildly different a villain like Frollo is compared to every other disney villain in twst. 
The Queen of hearts isn’t even a villain she’s just an antagonist for the last end of the movie and in the book. She’s also very possible just the result of Alice’s over active imagination warping her history lessons 
Maleficent is just a fairy who got pissy about not being invited 
The evil queen was insecure ??? 
Scar is a prince who staged a coup and killed his brother that’s like half of history
Ursula (in disney) is similar to scar wanting to stage a coup and take over the ocean but with magic and contracts in the original Hans Christian Andersen she’s more like a plot device than an antagonist she helps the mermaids on their thing but never does it out of purposeful malice
Hades IS ANOTHER CHARACTer about killing your brother and taking over (in disney) in the mythology he just does his job and stops people from trying to take his wife (albeit he did kidnap her)
Jafar is the classical right hand man secretly rules over everything because the current leader is super exploitable and super dumb this also happens in history
You can’t fucking compare that to someone who emotionally abuses a disfigured person to be dependent on them, tries to force a girl from a minority to get with him or die. He’s an ableist, racist, classist, and sexist all things that are super present today affects so many people. Frollo is someone who exists back then and now so making a character that will have parallels to him in a game like Twisted Wonderland is very iffy to many people. 
And I don’t hate Rollo because I think that if they handle his character well they can turn this into a great example with a complex character.
I have mentioned before that its possible that Rollo is the way he is because he might have a super conservative and abusive household that will force him into the same person as Frollo and he might have a redemption where he realizes his world isn’t so small and he doesn’t have to be an ass
however considering how svanaclaw was written and the rep of Yana (looks hard at black butler) I’m not sure she can do that and its possible that Rollo will just end up being an antagonist for this event unless people like him so much that she’ll be compelled to insert him more ig. 
the point is its fine to like him and its fine to be weary of him. 
just be mindful that other people can be affected by this shit
