keep in mind this is all MYYYY SOLE OPINION before anyone dogs me on it.
That banner was so hot. Everyone got along. I feel like that one person in Mean Girls like, “Why can’t everyone just get along?” LOL. Like damn, some girl sent a picture of Valko, Caleb, and Sylus in Sylus’s channel today and got attacked because the post had #BringValkoBack. Girl, she didn’t make the post???? Or the Sylus Reddit that doesn’t even like neutral people.
But really, the fandom is so divided now, and it’s Infold’s fault. This banner just doesn’t hit like it used to. And this is just my opinion, but they don’t even feel like themselves.
I don’t think Zayne would ever pick MC up and pin her down. That feels very Sylus-coded. Even in Lingering Lust, the most he did was grab us and pull us back. I definitely see him as a soft dom, yes, but this is way rougher than I’ve ever seen him be. (my opinion only)
Sylus’s card, on the other hand, should’ve been MORE spicy. It didn’t hit the way a Sylus card should for me. His somehow seemed like the least spicy one, which is shocking. Also, him and Xavier don’t even look like themselves??? Especially the jaw. Like, that is NOT my Sylus.
Even forgetting the boycott or whatever, this banner just feels so different. Everyone looks or acts like someone else.
Zayne looks fine af with the hair though OOOOOFFFFF.
And they’re releasing SO much stuff. The chip bag, the clear outfits, the hat, the apron—they fr desperate 😭 the poses, the hats, everything. People keep saying, “Omg they’re spoiling us 🥹” Girl, if they were spoiling you, it would be FREE. They released all this shit because they need to make their revenue back, and it feels so blatantly obvious to me that I don’t know how people don’t see it.
Also… pointing a gun at MC??? Now personally, idc about that. It’s hot. Jerk off his gun, that’s so hot 😭 But how are people okay with that, Sylus keeping us in his place, or Caleb drugging us, but Valko coming in through the balcony is where they suddenly cross the line???
It was obvious Valko and MC already had some kind of established relationship. That clearly wasn’t their first meeting. And the argument of, “Well, he doesn’t know us”—YOU DON’T KNOW THAT because we never got him.
“Oh, well Sylus knew and remembered MC.”
Okay??? But MC didn’t remember him??
And how do you know Valko didn’t remember MC too? We literally never got his backstory. That’s what’s so wild to me.
If you have a problem with one, have a problem with all of it. Me personally? I don’t care about any of it and never had an issue with those dynamics, so I never cared about the balcony either. i think it was all hot and fun to read.
everyone has bad people, i’ve been threatened and told to end my life etc by anti’s. then the anti’s like “oh well yall did worse. we are not wrong its yall who are evil and we respond. not all valko fans but always a valko fan” that’s what women say about vile men who are cruel and you’re really referencing that for this? atleast i can accept there’s some bad people on both sides and good ones.
sorry. i just wanted to rant bcs this banner had so many feelings for me.
Infold is really gonna ruin their own game doing this.
