“aaron minyard is the worst fox” sounds fake but ok
oh i’m sorry, you don’t believe me? well bud here have some reasons the other foxes are problematic™
Andrew
- literally carries knives around which would be fine if he didn’t regularly pull them out and threaten people with them.
- regularly shoves and hits nicky. sure, you and i both now there’s reasons that he is the way he is, but it doesnt excuse his violence.
- there’s also the taking people to a club and drugging them because he doesn’t immediately trust them thing.
- the whole “you can’t date anyone and if you do i’ll want them dead” deal
- regularly attacks people both on meds and sober need i honestly list the specific events
- fuck it lets list some
- attacking katelyn in the library, choking out allison, choking out kevin, i could go on

Neil
- has definitely killed people on the run (
cool_motive_still_murder.gif) - “i called you a fucking cripple” bruh
- neil literally stone cold curving everyone who isnt on the exy team
- if you can go on and on about how aloof and cold aaron then logically this here is up for judgement too
- thought allison deserved whatever she got from andrew after she hit aaron
- to him the only way to get back at riko was murder
- i hate riko too sharon but do i really have to say again what jake peralta said so well
Nicky
kissingassaulting neil to drug him- flirting with other guys despite having a boyfriend
- i know he has a List™ but neil, matt, and guys at the club aren’t on it
- genuinely believed andrew was better off manic and high than sober
- all the predatory jokes (i.e. getting neil drunk enough to “swing”)
Kevin
- the probably countless times he’s screamed at the others in practice for not being up to his standard
- im paraphrasing but he tells neil he shouldnt come out about his relationship with andrew because it will jeopardize his career sooo
- “what about the line up” dear god
- “it wasn’t a major loss” dear. god.
- the general insults out of practice. dude’s literally an asshole.
- andrew choking the explanation out of him after neil disappears implies kevin wasnt going to tell them that neil had literally just been hauled away to be tortured and killed
Renee
- murdered a guy and doesn’t regret it
- also sidenote i doubt Renee would be all that happy you goblins think Aaron is irredeemable
Allison
- slapping aaron
- bucko if you think someone giving you attitude is grounds to dish out a bitch slap pls reevaluate yourself
- the way she talks to the monsters is super nasty like. she’s not friends with them yea i get it but damn some of the comments and insults? allison girl calm down they’re people too
- on that point treating people like animals just because you don’t understand them is Not Good so jot that down
Matt
- punches kevin like 7 times c’mon dude
Now, before you get your knickers in a twist: this is in no way a post encouraging you to hate any of these characters. This is simply to show the lapse in logic surrounding hatred of Aaron. It’s highly biased to hate on Aaron for saying shitty things and being aloof or insulting when we only see him the the narrow and unreliable perspective of Neil - we only know what he knows and sees and how he feels about it while reading. You don’t have to like Aaron. You don’t have to love him. He doesn’t have to be your favorite character. Just consider that hating on him doesn’t make sense when other character do much of the same things he is condemned for, as well as having their own flaws. Aaron has a checkered past tragic as any of the other foxes, so he doesn’t deserve the vast amounts of hate so many are so quick to dish out (and fans of his are even less deserving of hateful messages and the like they often receive).
All the foxes are flawed, are problematic, do bad or questionable things. Aaron isn’t the only one who says or does shitty things, so hating on him doesn’t make sense. Stop sending hate to people who like Aaron. Reconsider how you see him. Have a grand day, i guess, too.
I’d add nicky invalidating neil’s sexuality and believing that andrew needed a girlfriend to get better + dan playing right into the prejudice that andrew is always at fault when higgins appears at the beginning of trk
