And that's what i felt we got from the show? That Ekko gave up his dream romance to do the right thing for someone who couldn't love him back but needed a friend in a dark moment? Especially given the ending. That's how i read it anyway, but then the fandom happened 🤷 - ThreadSky

And I didn't mind it before. The old TB shippers were a different breed and in the same boat as us. The new ones ... ehhhhh.

Yes, platonic tb, I'm very much okay with, they can be each other's good Judys. The new ones are hostile and I want to say more little man stans than Jinx stans and hunt down those who dislike little man and tb. If they want little man to be happy, Zeri and *barf* Ezreal exist. Jinx is off to Lux!

Jinx: 🎶And Demacia's waiting~ my new target is waiting~ Luxanna is waiting~ for me~ So full speed ahead~🎶

I'm not sure they actually like either of the characters? ekko gets reduced to this sexed up alpha male and jinx is his manic pixie trophy wife? who are these characters? I think they might just be in it for the horny, which...okay...but screaming 'canon' can gtfo, it ain't.

Ahh yes, "alpha male" the polite ego boosting/stomping way of saying toxic masculinity.
Definitely more for the horny.
They scream canon. We scream 'NOT!' what's also off putting is they pull the 'you got your lesbian couple (CaitVi) you don't need a second or third one' No! WE need ALL of THEM!

that's the thing for me. I'll always be Team Lightcannon but I respect people who like Ekko with Jinx even if it's not for me.
I just don't recognize THIS version of them getting peddled around since S2. it's so jawdroppingly OOC for both of them that it makes me almost as uncomfortable as J*lco. 😬

Oh yeahhh, that exists...I feel like I have to brush my teeth.
In my opinion, S2 wasted an entire episode of the alternate-timeline that could've just been the first fifteen minutes and then more story building to the main. That episode was like reading a Wattpad story that got a movie adaptation.

an Ekko who would talk a girl out of s*icide and then take advantage of her is Not My Ekko on levels I cannot even begin to put into words. It's just Not Who He Is, Period.
I don't think there's anything controversial about that statement😵‍💫 but i'd be skinned for saying it aloud elsewhere lol.

The new ones are definitely inclined to the toxic.
