This was incredibly, immaculately written. Touched on all the theory and reasoning behind the memes (and why they're so justified and real,) while addressing the dangers of infantilizing broken men and male characters. Made my heart smile, cause as the kids say, "he's literally me." Kendall Roy and 20-something-year-old-teenage-girl solidarity forever. I will die on this hill. I bookmarked this article to show to my family who doesn't understand my deeply emotional connection to Kendall and this show. You made my night. Thank you, parasocial twin flame.

I haven't seen Succession but now I want to! I looovveee tv shows/movies that explore the complexities of life and human nature, so I'd probably like this show. Also, love what you said about people being quicker to coddle/accept male characters going through hardships compared to women. This is something I think about a lot, and I was so excited to see that someone else feels the same!
