do you honestly think people like julian bc they agree with his actions

julian is a character that we as an audience are meant to laugh at. you’re not meant to sympathise with him, he is purposefully constructed to ridicule tories and everything they stand for. i’ve seen people say they like julian because he’s ‘good bisexual rep’ or ‘he’s such a father figure’ or ‘he and x character would be so cute together’ and that makes me uncomfortable. he’s not a good or nice person, and when i see people making out like he is all i can think is oh wow you’re a tory sympathiser. like?? why are you defending a man who is openly misogynistic, proud to be a war criminal, etc. additionally, as a queer person i really don’t like it when people say he is queer because he is literally a tory, and he likes margaret thatcher, and those two things really really don’t coincide with the kind of queer representation i want to see, or the kind of queer representation the idiots would give us. it’s actively harmful, if anything, and if you’re not bi and saying he’s bisexual for the sole reason that he shagged around a lot, maybe reflect on why you think that. it plays into biphobic stereotypes.

#like do i think julian stans would admit they agree with his actions?? no #but do i think that julian stans downplay the nature of his actions and who he is as a character?? yes #you can like julian: just engage critically with him as a character who is. literal scum #my dni does say tories so like u know. watch out #like why are you idolising and making catbot edits of a fictional tory war criminal #why are you pairing him up with other characters literally traumatised by the values he and his party upholds #why are you acting like the christmas episode redeemed him #i don’t think everyone who likes julian is secretly a tory. i think some people just don’t recognise how what they’re doing is kinda weird #because like it’s simon you know!! love simon he’s a leftie and a legend #but you can like simon and respect him without extending that to a comedic character he plays. meant to ridicule tories #because then you’re just. idk it’s weird like??#like you’re idolising this character because he’s played by someone you admire and like and respect. but this character is not meant +#to be idolised and admired and respected #anyways rant over i think #anon idk what your stance is on all this but like. you are allowed to like julian #he’s my brother’s favourite character but he’s my brother’s favourite character BECAUSE he represents tory scum in a comedic way #if he’s your favourite character because he’s your fuckin. white mlm character of the month and uwu actually he’s so sensitive. please .#he’s a tory war criminal your honour #rant over have fun reading all this anon :)#cannot wait to be sent anon hate for this #me a 16 year old trans kid: hey tories are bad #supposed left wing adults coming in my inbox like Um Actually im entitled to liking this tory because fjdjfjdjdjdjdj #stfu i hate tories they’re all scum #if you’re like oh well you can be friends with tories!! they’re not that bad!!! i don’t agree with them but we need to be tolerant :)#bitch ill kill you. ill kill all tories too #rant over smile :)#anon #answered
