The way I see things, it’s not that Tubbo no longer cares about Tommy, his efforts to keep Tommy around and as free from harm as he legally can proves Tubbo still cares about him. However, Tubbo also isn’t willing to sacrifice the safety of the country and people he promised to protect when he was sworn into office.
This isn’t a corruption arc, this is Tubbo trying to balance his personal relationships with his political life and keep everyone safe while trying to hold onto everything he cares about, one of those things being Tommy. Y’all are just angst gremlins who won’t let up have nice things.
