Fascinating!

I'm wondering if this fan development is something to do with millennials' psychology, i.e. in order to be virtuous you need to be able to demonstrate identity with some oppressed group.

Wouldn't surprise me. :P

I have a feeling that it's a subconscious attempt to make Raoul a more sympathetic protagonist and perhaps to counterbalance the 'Aristocrat = Evil' assumptions among the fandom/demographic (poor Philippe, the go-to source of villainy...)

Wait, people bash Philippe?!
