If Patrick Hockstetter Wasn’t Played By An Attractive Actor I Think He Wouldn’t Be As Popular In

If Patrick Hockstetter wasn’t played by an attractive actor I think he wouldn’t be as popular in the fandom.

I don’t even think this is an unpopular opinion. The Bowers Gang is popular because they’re played by attractive actors. Except notice how people often keep Belch out of their fics or art? They don’t find his character attractive despite being a lesser evil compared to Patrick and Henry.

Seeing how people react to Belch is an indicator that their actions aren’t taken into account, just their looks. Patrick is attractive enough to get away with his actions, while Belch is ostracized for being… chubby? Cuz he burps? He is also horribly mischaracterized imo… read the fucking book. Anyway idc he’s bae fr. I love that silly guy!

If their actors were book accurate then there would be less of a fandom imo. Ofc there are people who find them interesting because they’re horrible people and naturally as human we are drawn to things we cannot understand. However, my point still stands.
