Some Byler fans reduce anyone who doesnât ship them to being âbiased,â which is honestly a pretty self-centered take. Everyone has their own life narrative, and Willâs is about coming to terms with his identity as a sexual minority. But thatâs his personal journeyâitâs not Mikeâs responsibility, nor anyone elseâs. Mike has always seen Will as a friend, with no romantic intent, so he has no obligation to reciprocate or carry that emotional weight. Thereâs also no reason to expect everyone to prioritize Willâs personal struggles above everything elseâcharacter development shouldnât be forced onto others to complete. And considering how lately some of them have been attacking creators from other ships, it just comes off as kind of sadâlike, how far do you have to take a ship to end up like this?
