>>38367151Absol has a terrible reputation, however I still find it a fun Pokémon to use since gen3.
In one of my runs I skipped the hyena and caught a mild one, taught him special moves along return and it quickly became my main powerhouse along slaking.
It's a good Pokémon even if it isn't my favorite like Slowbro, Tyranitar, Steelix, Hypno or Delphox.
Heck I have to see Hypno tied to a shit tier fetish and Braixen being a furry sex symbol that almost rivals the eves with a few outliers fetishizing Delphox.
Liking certain Pokémon do make you associated with this kind of bullshit even if Hypno is absolute bro tier people get the wrong misconceptions for you liking them, it's just something similar with Tsareena this gen and even if I really loved using her ingame you don't get the same kind of views if you say you like Araquanid and Wishiwashi even if I used those 3 in my team.
And yes I did use 2 water types, I didn't give a damn about it, Araquanid is a freaking giant bug before a water type and I wanted to use a good bug even if it overlapped with Wishiwashi.
TLDR people always judge for liking stuff, I want to fluff an Absol but given the bulk of Absol fans just want to fuck it I have to lay down on how much I like disaster doggo.
