Yes, I have noticed you're leaning into the heel role. Good for you. I think you'll find, though, that you won't get the hateful attention good heels get. You'll just largely be ignored and put up with.
So enjoy "feeding off the crowd's negative energy". I don't think there will be much. No one is "white knighting", we've just been trying to ask you to be a decent guy. You don't want to be, and you want to pretend you aren't in the wrong while offering no evidence to that. Cool man. Keep doing you.
This is a pretty tight knit group. I still consider myself to be a bit of an outsider here. But at least I try to be myself. Everyone, for better or worse, is pretty genuine on here. You want to play a character and make no real connections with anyone? Dope, have fun.
Honestly I'd respect you more if you really did go full heel, ala "yeah fuck that bitch I scammed her she was an easy mark". At least you'd be real. This "I won't discuss particulars" pussyfooting is sad.
