sometimes victimize him further within stories is kind of telling and it all comes from the same mentality of seeing a brown man as not a good fit to be the father of a white (passing) boy, a thing that is also feed off this belief, joke or not, that buck is chris' real father
making buck the better father, having chris take his side during fights, having chris giving eddie the shovel talk and things like not wanting them to date becuase "his dad ruins everything". this antagonism given to chris towards his father in order to hero woship buck, and
part 2 of this message didn't make it, i'm sorry.
i agree that people don't know how to take eddie as a character because he's not typical, he's not stereotypical and he is very much an accident of tm and the writers. in his laziness of takinig from a real person's life while
one takes it seriously when you say, "hey so this is kinda not okay" and "uhm, you know, this is a double standard, you don't held your fave to this level of perfection". to them, it's just discourse. to us, it's every day.
being given to buck or him "chosing" buck as the better father in bt fics but also in buddie fics. the buckchris relationship in fanon is often, sadly, weaponized to punish eddie and eventually make him "deserving" of buck. we see chris often chosing buck over him, subconciously
insomniac eddie who was supposed to be taking meds to help him fall asleep at night but instead he starts flushing them down the toilet because they actually worked the one time he took them. and he can’t have that. he has to stay awake at all times to make sure chris is okay
so they filmed the funeral of a beloved character of a popular show out in public thinking it wouldn’t get spoiled (stupid) and their only solution was to play a lil hide and seek game to trick their viewers into thinking it was a fakeout????
THIS!!! when people criticise bad writing and storylines they turn it into people hating buck because DIA DE LOS MUERTOS should NOT have had this much focus on Buck and in his attic adventures when earlier seasons they would've find a way to give all the focus to the diazes and include buck with them
this isn't even counting the untagged ones where they make eddie/maddie/chimney/hen the callous jerks out of nowhere and the comment section is filled with like "they're so annoying in this, buck deserves better friends"
"damn, where's the women?" is not buck hate; "damn, wish this was better written and less lowky offensive" IS NOT BUCK HATE. not everything is about white men, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it's getting ridiculous.
us alone to call it out and clean up the mess. it would be nice if you could be more aware that complains about bigotry are not made up stories, nobody wants it to be real and yet here we are. "damn, that was disappointing" is not buck hate; "damn, that's racist" is not buck hate
to beg for higher ratings for ep17 when in reality you did it because of the buck sl. and i know it was because of it, because i went to these people's profiles and not even an rt of the ice sl was there, it was all about buck and his child. these bashing tags are a reflection
blatantly racist and mysogynistic. this is why it's upsetting when some people here say and believe it's "so hard" to be a buck fan because "everyone hates him" when that's not true. it's never been true. and continues to not be true. we could write the longest rant about this,
and this is why i laugh every time a buck fan says he’s getting ‘unnecessary’ hate because WHAT DO YOU MEAN TWELVE COMPARED TO THE THOUSANDS OF VICTIMIZED BUCK FICS?????
