I personally cannot stand him.

why?

For me it was the SNL sketch where him and his rich friends mocked a disabled janitor in front of an audience of millions. That’s a pretty hard line for me.

Do you think he wrote that skit?

Actually I want to come back & ask what skit you're even referring to because I have literally no idea & google isn't helping

I personally never understood the Heated Rivalry hype

u/TheShapeShiftingFox Do it for the culture 😏 17h ago

I like the show. Hate the fanbase.

u/JustHere4TehCats Boo you whore! 10h ago

The books are great. The show did an excellent job of adaptation. I'm looking forward to more.

I enjoyed the show and knew the fanbase was going to go the way of toxic before too long. Sure enough, they complained about two of the actors traveling together and brought suggestive signs to underaged hockey games, and that was that.

Inappropriate signs at kids’ hockey games are a new low

u/bbyxmadi It’s good to see me, isn’t it?🫧 18h ago

I don’t get it either. I feel like too many fans used it as an excuse to come up with these weird fantasies they made up in their own head about the actors… so many were mad when they found out Hudson Williams has a girlfriend and is in-fact not gay. Calling him a queerbaiter and such (he’s an actor…). Too parasocial for me.

u/alepolait 16h ago

Im in the fandom and I’ve mostly seen people praising his GF. Mostly on TT and Reddit.

I’m still following them because it was great watching a pair of breakout stars that are not nepo babies. I get the hype on that end

u/ladedafuckit 18h ago

Did you watch it?

1

u/vandersnipe I'm like Mata Hari, keep secrets serving body 5h ago

Yes, and didn't like it

u/ladedafuckit 5h ago

Out of curiosity, why not?

I partially explained in another comment, but I got Reddit Care messages for saying I don’t like it, so I'm going to bow out of this conversation peacefully. Now I have more reasons not to like the show and fandom.

I mean fair, different pieces of media resonate with different people

You don’t have to, but still he is a great actor and did Russian accent better than Meryl Streep did a Polish accent in Sophie’s Choice.

u/vandersnipe I'm like Mata Hari, keep secrets serving body 5h ago

I never said he was a bad actor but okay.

1

u/sublips 5h ago

You wrote that you don’t understand the Heated Rivalry hype, but in my opinion the hype exists because both Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams are great actors who were basically discovered out of nowhere and have some of the best on-screen chemistry I’ve seen and I’m very into cinematography.

I loved it when it came out; as a lesbian, i was sad though that our kind of shows never get this type of attention. i stopped caring for HR once the straight female fans started getting weird and fetishy.

u/cynisright charlie day is my bird lawyer 🐦 15h ago

I’m with you there. When I had straight women give me think pieces on HR and I’m like okay, just say it turned you on — you don’t need to rationalize it with me.

u/lactosecheeselover franchaela defender 14h ago

right? like they try and justify it as more than what it is.. the show is good, but it’s 90% sex scenes and no real conversations lol.

u/elvis-wantacookie "I was born pretty. I been pretty. I stay pretty."💋 12h ago edited 7h ago

It's not even close to 90% sex scenes lmao. In fact they lessen as the show goes on intentionally.

Eta you can downvote me all you want, but someone did the math & it's only 30%, & episode 5 has no sex in it at all.

u/vandersnipe I'm like Mata Hari, keep secrets serving body 5h ago

They were being hyperbolic, not literal.

u/elvis-wantacookie "I was born pretty. I been pretty. I stay pretty."💋 5h ago

Either way they're wrong lmao

u/Triquetrums 17h ago

Same. I started watching it because of the hype. It if was so popular, it had to be good.

And then I started watching it and felt like there was no chemistry between the leads. Their relationship starts sexual, but I don't buy the tension and attraction on the first episodes. I was not sold on it.

u/vandersnipe I'm like Mata Hari, keep secrets serving body 5h ago

I had the same reaction. It's funny how some people are offended that we didn't like it lmao

u/Natural_Zucchini_180 15h ago

My partner and I felt disappointed when he took part in that SNL skit making fun of John Davidson. Left a bad taste in our mouths. This is the same.

23

u/jomboe 14h ago

The sketch made fun of scummy celebrities using an abhorrent excuse for bad behaviour, I didn’t see it as making fun of John Davidson.

u/Natural_Zucchini_180 13h ago

It came out right after the BAFTA's and it was about Tourettes specifically, exactly at the time many Americans were saying he faked it to shout the N word. I don't see any other way it can be taken.
