They're a pair that ruined the show and has no actual chemistry or real progression. They're a pair that took HB into a BET drama series and everyone's just gassing that up. I will never understand how people are into this ship. It's a ship that just doesn't add up. A ship with no real value or merit to it other than for people to make fanfics or sob under their blankets to.
I'm the opposite, i think Stolitz was, at worst, very unique and interesting so i can see why people fell liked it in season 1, but i dont get how they still like it in season 2.
Stolitz was a rare case of actually "
realistic twosided toxic yaoi". It's two assholes exploiting one another out of "necessity" and becoming codependent. You can call that fujobait yea but at least it's not fluffy uwu boring or cruelty porn (which is saying something).
But then season 2 turned them into childhood friends, UKEfied Stolas and turned both into angsty f a g g o t s and i dont understand why people like this. Stolas was once a fun character but
he's so goddamn boring now cause all he does is cry about blitzo and actively dragging this show down.
This is like how Yang x Blake from rwby got popular
by accident since people liked their dynamics (energetic bimbo x sassy goth) but when writers shipped them for real, they both turned into angsty bitches and arent fun to watch anymore but the shippers already spent too many years shipping them to stop.
With Stolitz i feel its sunken cost fallacy too. It's like everyone
knows Stolitz turned into a fanfic of itself but they spent too much and effort to quit now. Modern fandom are also insane because they can be fully self sustained from headcanons alone so canon doesnt even matter anymore.
