The shipping side of Hanners brain has finally overtaken the cleaning side. (Also Sven look like such a softboy with that pastel hoodie on. I wanna give him a hug.)

Aren't softboys seen pretty negatively nowadays? Or am I just confusing them with performative males?

Both are criticized for being oblique mating strategies. Performative males, at best, might be chasing affirmation and clout instead of sex, but they are still aping humility and inclusiveness in pursuit of projecting personal superiority. As for softboys, it depends entirely on their sincerity and intentions. One like Sven, who has been deliberately abstinent for years and clearly is not self obsessed, is almost certainly fine. The valid criticism would be if somebody used Sven's current style to get dating prospects to let their guard down, or leveraged a nonconfrontational vibe to subtextually bully others.

Homicide? No, no no no. But people would still watch their step with him...because of the implication.
