Re: Characters you disagree with fandom on

Space Marine 2 - Leandros

Look, he's a dick. He turns the player character in for heresy in game 1. There's a whole subreddit called FuckLeandros. He's *hated*. The haters come up with reasons to hate him: he broke the rules by reporting the PC (fanon, almost certainly untrue), becoming a Chaplain was a punishment (absolute nonsense, Chaplains are respected and appreciated), and Papa Smurf hates him (total nonsense, Calgar could have stopped his promotion.)

And I kind of love him.

He is absolutely a dick, he is absolutely a kill joy, he is absolutely a paranoid freak, and that's PERFECT! He is carrying the setting* On! His! Back! Without Leandros the game is apologetically Pro-IoM, Ultra Marines are the Best Guys and everything they do is right actually. So I love Leadros as a part of the story. It's important to me that the IoM fucks *us* over because no amount of flying zombie baby cyborgs are as impactful as the player feeling personally slighted.

*Warhammer 40k runs on the logic that Everyone Is The Bad Guy and the Imperium of Man is Bad Actually (tm) in part because it is a paranoid, fascist, inefficient hellscape.

But there's more than that! He did something he *knew* was right (reporting Titus for suspected heresy/chaos taint) and it *was* right by all the rules on which he bases his life (fite me) BUT IT STILL TURNED OUT BAD! Titus passed all the tests but was still tortured for a century and kept away from the Ultra Marines for another century. My man could have *GUILT* ok? For as much as these dweebs are Catholic Space Nazis none of them have GUILT and finding a character who could is so D E L I C I O U S ok I lap it up. Plus his helmet is badass. Plus he is *so* obsessed Titus I can't help but want them to kiss.

basically whenever reditors go FUCK LEANDROS I respond with I"M TRYING

(Also, there is so much hot art of Erebus who is so unrepentant evil and dickish I miiiiiight be falling for him too omg I am putting up pitons about that one help help help)
