I mean I feel like it would come from a genuine place of caring about Roman and recognizing that this is a positive change and also perhaps subconsciously awakening his own repressed gender feelings, but even then it would still be very uncomfortable and that internalized bigotry would definitely not go away. Also even if he could get himself to outwardly treat her as a girl Kendall would still only ever really see her as his weird gay little brother, while also just being more directly misogynistic at her.

no yeah, even if ken "accepted" roman out of love for his sister then it would still be uncomfortable to watch because ken hasn't (and maybe never will) unlearned logan's prejudices so it would be him like, performing generic lip service and being the 1# ally for roman, however it would come across as performative and fake (because it is) and as you said he would be outwardly misogynistic towards her.

Even then he would still "slip" either by misgendering her or calling her a homophobic slur.

But like, even in a scenario where they could get to the point of him outwardly treating roman as a woman then he still wouldn't be able to mentally see her as anything other than his "weird gay little brother" .

#the most important thing about ken's lip service is that ken doesn't mean that shit #he knows all the right things to say but he isn't sincere about it #ken's lip service is about him being liked by other people and him being able to live his “i'm not like the other roys" fantasy #he wants to be able to say “that's my family not me” so bad #he wants to be liked #he wants to be seen as a “relatable hot billionaire” so bad #even though ken doesn't have an issue about being loaded off of hate speech money #he is just mad that being loaded off of hate speech money get's him disliked and dragged on twitter #do you think his favorite rappers fuck with fox news?? of course not and that's the core issue #honestly seeing roman being happier living her truth would motivate ken to “try” for her sake #but it would still be uncomfortable to watch #honestly i feel out of depth with gender stuff ngl so excuse me for being cis lol #i would like to hear more about ken's “gender stuff”#wdm by that because i haven't clocked it so far??#and strangely enough i feel like ken would be less weird about roman coming out as gay but maybe that's just me #kendall roy #succession #succesion hbo #fandomshit
