Curate, connect, and discover
might have to be a bit of a party pooper rn but i think people (mostly on twt) are forgetting that erik didn’t beat that one guy to a pulp to ‘protect’ or ‘stand up’ against them. they found out he was the one who reported them, they jumped him & erik fought back in self defence.
people seemed baffled that erik wasn’t beating up felix right then and there but he wouldn’t do that straight away. i think a more accurate comparison is how he defended mathias at the party (end of s2) when no one else did and how he’s incredibly passive here now that he’s ’friends’ with felix in comparison. he would have and should have stepped in between them the same way that olivia did. or at least shoved felix back.
