Re: raise your hand if

Yeah. Ngozi liked (still likes?) Kane and Seguin and she clearly based Kent off of the two of them. Kane has a history of being sketchy around women and beating cab drivers, Seguin outs gay fans and makes homophobic remarks a lot. I guess Kent was supposed to be a douchebag that you could love, just like them.

Then Kane's rape allegation came out and all of his fans either defended him or denounced him, but some of those that denounced Kane flocked to Kent, who was a warped mirror image of Kane anyway, and brought all of Kane's characterization baggage (that they like?) with them, I guess.

NA

I always found it funny that Bittle seems based on the fanon for Kane and Kent is more like the actual Kane. Bittle/Jack is like the old, hand-wavey non-problematic fics people used to write and Jack/Kent is the recent - 3 years or so - Your Fav Is Problematic redemption fic people write now.

Which I guess is to say that I agree with you anon and am glad I got bored of Check Please before Kent even really showed up.

What is your context for "fics people used to write" and "fic people write now"? Do you mean in Check Please fandom? Or where?

I'm pretty sure they meant in hockey RPF fandom.
