Connor got a good early start with being one of the first boys and being hooked with one of the OG SK. He was made and able to be a standalone character instead of simple love interest and token.

True. It is ZAQ's choice to not try to associate his character with SK, but his original character has been adopted and part of the SK fandom.

It's good that he didn't spaz out and demand people stop doing it to 'respect' him.
