I secretly am growing to hate Martin just as much as you do...
The thing is I LIKED Martin in season 1. As I'm sure many other Martin haters would agree—in his first few appearances he was actually pretty fun. But then came season five, and immediately he became so insufferable and irritating and now I can't really stand him in any context. Which is a shame, but I can't help it.
The fandom around jmart also annoys me immensely too. People are just SO OBSESSED with them, making cute art of them in the apocalypse even though I found that entire last season to be so insanely depressing because of jmart's constant arguing (AKA them just consistently not understanding each other and their senses of humour, oh and of course Martin trying to force his boyfriend to murder people out of jealousy!!). I genuinely don't get how anybody saw that as cute. Even the person who recommended the podcast to me told me their arguing was just playful couple bickering, when it absolutely was not.
Honestly I kind of wished I had never listened to season 5. I would probably enjoy this fandom a lot more if I could live in blissful ignorance about Martin's true personality lol. As it is I have all of the jmart tags blocked and yet I still keep coming across them constantly...
lowkey real like i miss when i was also fandom brainrotted because like the idea of a like canon fluffy gay ship where it was all hurt/comfort and one of them was a cute fat guy and the other was this fucked up scrawny loser is like genuinely really nice esp when you’re like 13 like i was. like i loved martin my first listen and i got really into jmart (wrote fanfic and everything). lowkey kinda sad i became so dissolutioned but i just can’t get back into the fandom like that anymore
