Like why are you so against Richard lmao? Why are you even here? It's his life, it's his right to keep his relationships a secret from the public eye."with how reclusive he is as far as we know he could very well be dating someone."
If that's the case:
of the boy who has agreed to be locked in the dark into a relationship with him.
"Oh but he made Froy become a recluse" were you there? Were you there when Richard made Froy sign an NDA? Were you there at the basement he kept Froy? If you have a closeted partner who doesn't want to share your relationship with the public but is happy to do so with his friends and loved ones (as seemed to have been the case, considering how much Froy was hanging out with Richard's family and friends) then the normal person thing to do is respect it.
