Hell, it's about time.
That cover looks absolutely horrendous. Ciel is making bad life decisions after bad life decisions, acting like a dumbass, wearing ugly ass clothes, and yet it's other people who are wrong for calling him a faggot? It's perfectly normal to reject people who are not fitting the norm, especially during the adolescence.
You know what... Let me be
autistic
for once. Now hold on, I am tying this back to Labelle but we need a little tangent first.
Remember this? This dude, Steve Requin. See this post for the guy's bio
"Assigned Male", by Sophie Labelle Verville / Guillaume Labelle
So, in that post I say he failed as an artist and became a garage janitor. But now he works in an office in some IT work or something. Garage job was a way to get hands on work experience, he didn't want to make a living from art, it's a past time and side projects. He used to, but while he did not fail per se, he didn't succeed as a full time job, so he cut his losses and tried to get the best of both world. He did art projects, as a sideline. So he went
Broke Magazine Artist -> Garage Janitor -> Old Apartment building Janitor -> Brand New Apartment Building Janitor -> IT Support.

(also lol @ COLE THE MOLE, nobody likes a snitch!
)
The guy's being a good sport. Says he "used to write stuff like this on forums, it's my turn to be subjected to it, it's only fair".
While I still thing his post on the rejection strategies without looking racist is somewhat dumb, it's not like we're making a thread on him.
Anyways, he's the original post by Citracett, which prompted my essay (the link above ^) explaining the context.
I think I found your answer on his blog.

Wow, this guy could almost pass as Sophie if he grew out his hair a bit...

OK so, he had his dumb article which we laughed at before but I accidentally recently found out (I googled some obscure old Quebec joke he happened to have brought up on his site) he has a couple blogs. There's the one above (requinroll) that's about comic hence why Sophie Labelle is on it.
His other one that's of interest today is called "My pretensions of Wisdom". It's interesting. The guy's become pretty smart with age, and he started his life as a total loser. And yep, I did change my mind regarding this guy. Clearly not a troon, if you dig in a bit deeper.

So he has this series called "You don't have to stay a loser"
https://steverequin.com/2014/06/04/pas-oblige-de-rester-loser-1e-partie-le-mythe-du-winner/ it has 14 parts.
Well anyways, in there, he talks about not doing stupid behaviours that will make you into a victim from other people. He talks about acting normal and how to properly function in society, social settings, etc... All from experience.
So, I find it utterly bizarre that he defended Labelle (against fake attackers at that), when Labelle's behaviour and how Labelle's characters are written, they act exactly how Steve tells people not to act to not be a loser.
And that's only the tip of the iceberg. Because there are more posts that reiterate those same lessons in a different form. And Sophie acts against all the good sense Steve tries to instill and share to other people. Hell, there's a couple of them explaining that no matter how you try to explain who you are to other people, in words, it's going to be your actions, and even your appearance, that people will judge you upon first, to decide if whether or not they want to be involved with you (in any way whatsoever).
Hell, he even made a blog on fitness recently because he wanted to share with people the advantages of staying fit (tip: It makes you popular), and his experiences (how to).
Like, Ciel acts like a total retard, Sophie tells people to force society to change, to tell people that whatever they're thinking is wrong and transphobic. Steve advises against that, and yet, he defends Sophie from fake attackers. Sophie chugs poutine like an ogre chugs children. Sophie has the worst eating/health/fitness habits ever.
This dude is the antithesis of the troon. He is the unicorn, the nega-troon who fixed his shit, got self conscious and stopped being a dumbass and became normal. He tells people how to be normal and not be faggots. And yet he defends Sophie. Why.
Probably ignorance I guess? Like everyone else.
Still, it's ironic. He has a blog telling people exactly what to do in order not to have a thread here. And he defends someone who acts in a way that deserves them a thread here. Instead of telling them to stop acting a fool.
