I don't know why I'm still on twitter tbqfh. Like I'm not my most happy with LMM either but I just passed the Worst take on why he casts himself as the lead in Hamilton when there is LITERALLY an interview where he explains that people werent creating plays where they wanted him/people like him as leads, so he made plays where he/they could be
LOVE☆STRUCK
Like... Critique Hamilton all you want but literally he did the thing that everyone who barks back at those calling for representation tells them to do????? He made the content he wanted to see/participate in himself???
LOVE☆STRUCK
I already muted the tweet but it was something like "weird how lmm made hamilton described as so pretty & cool when he TOTALLY WASN in history & made this love triangle that DIDNT EXIST and MADE HIMSELF THE LEAD, pretty gross" and i'm like

Roo
because it's fun to gatekeep
Naem
stepping back and thinking about why something is like this or like that??
LOVE☆STRUCK

Naem
also on a personal note I know LMM isn't a Perfect Dude or anything and I sure wish Hamilton wasn't a Disney+ exclusive because I refuse to support Disney+ but
Naem
I still think there is v real merit to what he's accomplished, and also I like it when he plays a funny superhero duck on TV, and maybe that's allowed
LOVE☆STRUCK
no ink you are perfect my phone is just slow
LOVE☆STRUCK
But like yeah!! There's plenty of historical fiction for kids that's ~""revisionist""~ but as long as it's a cartoon it's whatever ig

because the story chapter he was in was the hottest garbage imaginable, but also 'columbus, but canonically chaotic evil' is an inspired take that got wasted
