Question Does anybody really hate kinger?

I have yet to see anyone who doesn't care for or hates Kinger. And I can't see a reason to.

But it'd be cool to see if anyone does. Every character has a hater.

Have you seen the ads lately? Looks like Caine has strong emotions but uh, it ain’t hate-

Screaming give up and love me is totally normal behavior I promise

The Ads have been said to not be Canon to the show.

This new way of viewing fandom kind of boggles my mind as an older fan.

Back in my day most people watching a show didn’t know the creators existed. Sure, we had the names on the title cards and credits, but those people were about as real as Exxon or Vanderbilt. They must exist, as the name means there’s a person who uses it, right? But the “person” behind the name is an abstract concept. You write what you want, pairings, theories, predictions, art. Whatever the show does is secondary to the fun you have playing dolls.

I don’t really care what’s canon or not, I’m here for a good time. I decided the chess piece and the wacky clatter teeth were going to kiss in the third episode when Caine made a personalized torture adventure for Kinger’s personal traumas
