You know, when we found out Tary was a sheltered trust fund baby with no concept of how money and not having any works, he was everyone’s precious shiny sparkly son in a matter of two weeks.

I saw some people criticizing him over lording his wealth over the player character most obviously affected by spending most of her time in poverty, but it was never a big thing somehow. Instead, said player character was always called a greedy bitch for haggling down prices and caring about loot and amassing wealth, none of which she ever spent for herself until the year break (and even then Percy had to talk her into it).

And yet somehow, Caleb mentions he grew up in poverty once, and everyone’s ready to jump on his working class hero down with the burgeoise’s dick immediately and shame Jester for lashing out when she was upset. Stay classy, fandom. Stay fucking classy.

Let’s not forget how charming everyone finds Caleb “miscounting” his money and shortchanging people.

Oh, oh yeah, Caleb seems to be very equal opportunity with who he cheats out of money, in opposition to the moral guidelines Molly follows and tries to get Nott to follow. I also wouldn’t believe ANYTHING he says about his backstory until proven otherwise, because I have yet to meet a poor and/or working class person who would actively make themselves look poorer and dirty on purpose.

Also, getting all the money a basic wizard education costs, spell book and all, is kinda hard to do with less than 50G earned in a lifetime.
