"tragic characters who do horrifying things while brainwashed"

Is that what most of Kevin's fanbase focuses on? I didn't realize that. (I know there are definite hints at him being brainwashed and tortured, but I don't see a lot of mention of it in fandom. Granted, I'm not saying I'm a huge part of the WTNV fandom so if you wonder why I don't know this...well, that's why.)

Mostly I see people talking about how deliciously disturbing he is, but again, I don't spend a lot of time in the fandom so I'm not seeing everything.

If Kevin fans are coming from that angle, then I can better understand it. It is an angle with lots of opportunities and I can see where the interest comes from. (Maybe not the extent of the interest, but the general idea which is the important part.)

It's definitely what I focus on! And, like, I can't claim to see everything in the rest of the fandom either, but I've never seen anyone going "the personality we see is the real, non-brainwashed Kevin, and he's a fine upstanding guy." When people talk about liking him, they either like that he's deliciously disturbing, or they like the idea that there's a sympathetic character under the Strexification.

There are some really engaging longfics that focus on Kevin getting rescued and rehabilitated. I've written shorter ones, and I never feel like they're hurting for an audience. Whether or not we're the majority, there's a good number of us.
