I’ll kick things off. Cleo has no redeeming qualities and doesn’t deserve all of the praise she gets. People only like/support her because she is trans (weird).

    Mike (of Mike and Ximena) is the real villain of that relationship. Obviously they were both using each other, but he was scary towards the end and everyone defending him mystifies me.

      Totally agree. I think it’s likely that Ximena was always honest with him about what she got out of the relationship. She was a cam girl that he paid to be exclusive, after all. And I think that if he had been a decent guy and not so gross, she probably would have stuck it out. The pressure from her family was certainly high. But in person she couldn’t get over the ick and then his real personality came out in full force.

        She actually did try at first. Anytime someone tries to be like “well she got grossed out”, I ask them to reverse the genders. Unless you have some screwed up kink, what man is going to want to be with a woman who leaves dookie drawers lying around for them to pick up, burps in their mouth while kissing, farts on them while tryin to get busy, leaves dirty used tissues everywhere, tracks dog crap throughout their house and doesn’t bother to clean it up, etc.? It’s okay to have standards. Wanting your partner to not be a disgusting slob isn’t asking for the world on a string.

          I totally agree. I didn’t mean to imply that she should have put up with how gross he is; I wouldn’t put up with it. I’m just saying that I think she was probably always honest about it, this was a transactional relationship. If he hadn’t been so gross, she probably would’ve stayed with him, if not for love, for the benefits to her family.

      He gave me incel “nice guy” vibes right off the bat while other people (at first) thought he was an actual nice guy. I was like, Just wait, y’all…
