the cognitive dissonance is staggering, and it tarnishes a character deeply important to me for numerous reasons - though, this is an important time to reiterate to people that a character is not their voice actor and vice versa; so here is a reminder to the fandom to keep that in mind and not harass fan accounts, cosplayers, etc.

still, disappointment is not nearly enough to cover my thoughts on the matter. it's incredibly, devastatingly, ironic above all else - especially given the fanbase being largely being parts of minorities (not to mention the basic human rights) that kirk was vehemently against.

taking a break from social media only to come back and destroy your own career, alongside calling your fans, friends, and community who supported you "a good run" is indescribable. instead of taking the criticism and reconsidering your stance, doing research, taking it to heart - doing virtually anything - he decided to simply give a disgusting response, and used religion as a means to throw everything at the everyone's faces.

yes, people should perhaps show more caution when it comes to liking celebrities and the like, but that does not mean it isn't still heartbreaking when someone who seemed like a decent human being is shown to be someone else. he gained a platform and trust - which was then broken - and that still deserves to be mourned.

His nendroid having a gun in the images is so fun to me, especially since in the Final Victor lightcone it's implied that the gun is Aventurine's, not his (He provocatively looks at the man before him, then draws out a revolver...)

ouuu the silly.. the silliest..
