Idk guys I just feel like the whole Metroyageur betrayal hits a lot harder when you recognize that Shane actually liked his guys and hung out with them and enjoyed being their captain. Like yeah okay they end up being human garbage but if Shane KNEW that they were human garbage it wouldn't matter to him so much when they turn on him. I know that the idea that an ugly soul is obvious on the face is weirdly pervasive in certain contexts but I cannot stress enough that sometimes you don't see that shit coming. Yes there was probably some casual homophobia and racism happening in that locker room but there is probably not a single environment where Shane wasn't experiencing at least some of that except maybe his own kitchen table. Even ILYA says that weird thing about his looks. If Shane presses the eject button on socializing with everyone who ever said the word cocksucker in his presence he would literally be a paraiah. And we know that's not the case. Shane is beloved in his city and in his room. Until he's not.
