Talk:Billy Hargrove
Just a quick note, I'm not quite sure if the PPOV template fits this article but I figured it would be better safe than sorry. When it comes to the pro vs anti Billy debate, I'm pretty biased in favor of his character. As such, anything I add about criticisms of his character will probably be lacking a fair bit of nuance. -- Polaris (talk) 20:21, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
- Update: I’ve removed the PPOV template since I don’t think what I have in the controversy section really warrants it at the moment. If anyone else feels like it applies, feel free to add it back in. -- Polaris (talk) 04:40, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
Links for Fan and Fandom Responses
I feel like there's a lot to write about the fandom response and controversy about Billy, but I'm only sort of aware of it as I only hang out in the sapphic pairing part of the fandom online. But I've come across some other urls that I'm adding below that have a lot of responses or offer information that might be useful (some of these are already referenced in the article now):
