#strickland

this is just going to be me word vomiting about sean so uh yeah viewer discretion advised if you hate him whatever the fuck

i whole heartedly believe that strickland is homosexual. no don't pull the 'but hes maga and homophobic' card on me he can barely support his maga stance without contradicting himself in the next moment and his homophobia i strongly believe is towards himself and not directly targeted towards other people despite how much he'd try to convince you it is—anything he says in hate towards the lgbtq is always (in my opinion) something he himself would do if he was gay

despite his stance and unwavering love for his country, he also criticizes the government and also how the people act. hes not a hundred percent supportive of the government and acknowledges the fact that they might be going to shit. i personally found this interesting because unlike a lot of the popular maga accounts on there who dickride Trump and the American Gov to hell, strickland is one that criticizes and makes fun of them instead. he doesnt try to fit in, hes brutally honest and calls out people's bs when he needs to and when he spots someone lying out their ass

ive also noticed that sean likes things that have some sort of connection to his past and childhood. hes likes guns—guns were a huge part of his childhood as his father threatened to kill himself with it and he probably grew up around it

he still likes riding around on his dirt bike and constantly tests the limits and does risky moves on it despite the fact that he had crashed twice and the first one left him with a torn patella which he had to get surgery to reattach it to his knee. another thing—strickland likes subjecting himself to life threatening activities (of course), mma is one thing but theres also dirtbiking which he already had a horrible experience with and also experimenting with known abuse methods such as waterboarding (which he also had a horrible experience with but its the fact he wanted to experiment to begin with)

i also feel like sean has issues with his masculinity, its less frequent as of currently but he used to constantly talk about masculinity and how men need to grow a new pair and become more manly and whatever the fuck,, this might be common sense but i believe Sean's childhood abuse is the source of this, from his father more specifically who took his anger out on sean and would most likely tell him to walk it off or that it's so he'd become tougher like a 'real man'
