>>42911112That’s a good point. It’s even lampshaded in one of Leon’s most popular quotes, that the audience can be cruel and just want someone to lose for their entertainment (I think that’s what he said?) and honestly, it really does strengthen the fact that people just don’t take him seriously and that breaks my heart.
I’ve wanted to write a short fic on Raihan’s latest defeat against Leon, and he’s in the locker room by himself and he begins to see the outpour of hate against him on his social media, calling him a loser, and he breaks down crying.
