When you view the depth of his sensitivity it is almost heartbreakingly sweet. If you had him as a friend and stuck by him, you had a defender for life. He was a very warm, loving man who cared deeply about his friends and family and did extensive charity work. He tried many times in his life to lose weight and quit smoking. They would rather have you believe he was just some pig that ate himself to death, or that he didn't give a shit about his health which is completely untrue. Like hardly any men in his family lived into their 40s. It didn't come to light until years after he died that he had a VERY strong genetic predisposition to heart attacks. Not to mention the deliberate misrepresentation of his death. The media never let him forget that he was fat and then wondered why he was touchy to references of it. I might be a little fucking overly sensitive about something that I had been mocked and bullied about my whole life. I find it particularly funny when people say that he was "overly sensitive" about his weight. Yes, he partied hard, but he worked hard too. He was abused and convinced that there was nothing worse or more disgusting in the world than the fact that he was fat. Like the guy literally drugged him to "help" him lose weight. I bet most people don't know that cocaine was given to him by an abusive personal trainer. People attempt to portray him as a drug addict or a complete mess, when people who knew him well tell you that is NOT who he was.

If anyone doesn't believe me they can see how he was described in interviews and movie reviews. Still, they spoke about him like a sideshow freak.
He was far from ugly, and besides that attraction is more than looks despite what many deeply shallow people may think. (He was literally in Playgirl's Top 10 Sexiest Men of 1985). To some, saying that you "look like John Candy" is meant as an insult, when in reality many women in his time found him attractive.
Because of his weight it's like they automatically view him as the butt of the joke. To see people treat someone who was so deeply sensitive and kind the way they do is horrible. Sometimes I get irrationally angry at the things people say about John. Ace and Peter are referring to their sexual relationship over here, though, for what that’s worth. whether it’s just meant as a joke to throw people off, envelope-pushing, or on occasion an appeal to their gay fans, it’s quite frequent. I’m only focusing on what’s being projected. Again, I’m not going to make any statements on any of their actual sexualities- that’s not what this is about these are real people. In KISS’ most infamous interview, Tom Snyder makes a pass at Ace, and Ace, inebriated, reciprocates (”I’ve got a little piece of pipe backstage I’d like you to work on.” “Tell me about it!”). Gene jokes about his and Paul’s secret relationship and makes rather forthright statements.
Sometimes the whole band starts hitting on each other. Gene hits on female and male interviewers without really skipping a beat. Ace tends to like to touch the other guys on the arm/thigh/whatever’s around. *You can argue plenty of ways for the general antics of Gene, Paul, Ace, and Peter in particular during interviews. (No, I don’t know why or when Gene started licking Ace and later Tommy I don’t think Sean can be credited with that stage move- I feel like Gene just saw Ace’s bare neck one horny evening and went for it, and Ace either didn’t mind or at least dug it enough that it just became a thing.) But it’s also intentionally erotic. I want to emphasize that they’re not the only band at the time that did things like this, and I also want to emphasize that, again, image is everything to KISS and they absolutely enjoyed doing this for shock value and to play themselves up as “transgressive,” subversive, and dangerous. There are a handful of concert clips where they go even farther with it (here is Gene simulating oral on Paul , and the second gif is Paul doing the same with Ace/Ace’s guitar). Does it look cool for three guys to be synchronizing their movements while playing guitar? Yeah. *Their stage moves- specifically the KISS sway, and Ace dropping to his knees while Gene and Paul do the sway- are courtesy Sean Delaney.
