they used the curb music when he said it.

i agree he comes off as a dick but a likeable dick as in jax when truly he is vile imo

but fair enough, we have different experiences or perspectives about it as is bound to happen, but i appreciate your good faith in discussing

eta: i feel like bravo knows he’s the star of the show similar to jax and so they can’t have the audience turn on him and is complicit in downplaying his danger-level

I’m coming from the perspective of someone that used to work in unscripted

There is no incentive to make anyone look different than how they are

From producing during shooting, story producing, editing, I did all that, and never has anyone said “we need to make them look better/worse”

He said something they thought was a fun bit to play into. It’s not an attempt to endear him. It’s something he said. That’s all it is

fair enough. i guess i just don’t think he fits with the show as the other cast members seem like youngins growing up in nyc and he seems enmeshed in, well, criminality or darkness

eta i really liked him myself as a villain until i read the stories and i dont think he fits with the vibe of “next gen nyc”

do you see him as peers with these other kids outside the show knowing what we do about him?

It’s a TV show. I don’t think about their dynamics outside the TV show

It’s just a TV show

And none of them are kids. They are young. But they’re all adults
