There needs to be a German word for when you didn& #39;t get into something popular for years because your friends all said it was basic and problematic and then once you actually see it you& #39;re totally into it and you realize you yourself are basic and problematic

Critics: "What kind of a creep do you have to be to identify with Evan Hansen?

He& #39;s a self-pitying manipulative narcissist who& #39;s incapable of real relationships because he& #39;s so obsessed with his own pain he compulsively puts himself into the stories of total strangers"

"He somehow tricks a whole audience of randos on the Internet into thinking he& #39;s this deeply moral, empathetic person because he empathizes so hard WITH HIMSELF

All he does is express pity and compassion FOR HIMSELF and trick people into thinking he gives a shit about others"

"How delusional is it that the show gives us this spectacle of Evan performing empathy and connection on *social media* - the fakest possible way to do so - and literally shows him collecting likes and RTs as some kind of redemption, becoming the person he always wished he was"
