this got a lot of yall hot and irdgaf like I do understand nuance and the complexities of the characters yall are the ones who cannot give characters of color any grace for such nuances so if the show makes claudia a liar,as we've seen with louis, she'll just be a liar like yall-
all ima say is if they redo too much and make Louis and Claudia lying villains just to make lestat a victim I will not be watching this show anymore bc I didn't watch all that graphic black trauma and abuse just for that shit to be fake truly fuck this show if that is the case
does the person in that screenshot think "benevolent misogynist" means a misogynist who's a good guy & not someone whose misogyny manifests as a paternalistic presumption that they know better than women & thus can "help" them???
"benevolent misogynist" is also how id describe hugh evans of nbc found fame— not bc anything he ever does is actually good, but bc he definitely believes hes helping. like it's not about being a good guy, it's about justifying your actions under the guise of being a gentleman
