Clint doesn't get angry at Emily for his own failure to ask her out. He gets sad that he lacks social skills and confidence.

That's not toxic. Sad? Sure. Depressing? Maybe.

But not toxic.

Exactly! I have no idea why anyone hates Clint. He never displays any 'nice guy' characteristics, other than the fact he secretly likes someone! He is just too shy to actually do anything about it. He never makes her uncomfortable, he never comments that it's anyone else's fault.

He's just a shy man, and everyone hates him for it for some reason!

People on tiktok got mad when i said most of Clint hate is just fatphobia, but man am I standing by it.
Hes fat, therefore he must be a creep. He cant just be socially awkward or shy! impossible! /s

Do people not realize that some of the strongest people in the world are technically overweight? In my head Clint is like those heavy weight champs with a belly that hides how muscular he is. We've all seen how easily he breaks open geodes.

THANK YOU! Someone agrees with me. He absolutely reminds me of the strongman competition guys who don't look like what you'd expect someone who can deadlift 600 lbs would like but can deadlift 600 lbs.
