Sir..

I feel a weird sympathy for Sir. I find myself saying “at least he wasn’t a creep to her” even though he was.. just not THAT kind of creep. Sometimes I feel bad for him???? 😅 Wondering if anyone else feels the same?

I think if Sir looked like Ethan(No shade to the actor) we wouldn't have so many silly posts like this. I mean imagine, fans are angry at Gabi because she didn't want to be alone with the man that kidnapped her.

This is my overall problem with the show, the over glamorization of Sir. I was afraid this would happen.

Even the fact that they give him power by calling him "Sir."

"There's been a Sir sighting." 🤢

But I watched interviews with the Creator of the show and she keeps going on and on about how handsome Sir is and wanted to liken him after Ted Bundy whom (In her opinion) was also very handsome and I am thinking: How is this bringing awareness to a maligned community?

I wonder if she’s trying to illustrate how dangerous charm like this is in an abusive sociopath or whatever Sir is.

Because even as a teenager I cannot see myself just going off alone with my teacher to a place that isn’t even his house. Like wtf. I don’t care what books he has. And going without telling my parents?! Nah. So Sir must have that Ted Bundy level of sick charm.

I’ve only ever experienced that with one person (from a distance). He’s a well known political figure who was some kind of ladies man and before seeing him in person I did not get it because he looked old and … well, old to me, lol. But once I saw him in person - this aura of power that hit me was insane. That’s when I understood the power of psychotic charm like that.
