Tcoaal Chapter Three Is FuckinG My Brain Up. WHAT ARE THESE PUZZLES MAN……..

Hello! i'm glad you brought up in your tags how Ashley spread that rumor about Andrew, because I've seen no one talk about it and it disturbs me so much?? People constantly harassing Andrew, telling him that he deserves to die and how he did something awful to his sister when he had done nothing at all. I thought that I would see some people talk about it by now. But I've seen no one bring it up or I've seen people try to excuse/cover it like 'Oh, maybe Julia actually did the rumor instead' as if the game didn't directly tell us to our face that it was Ashley. It also makes sense why it would be her. She wants no one to be near him, just her. So why aren't people acknowledging this fact more? I say this as someone who enjoys both Andrew and Ashley's characters as horrible people (Though I have hope for them in burial for them to be better to each other, and maybe Ashley's growth out of leyley, but that's just hope- whatever Nemlei does is gonna be good)

they did indeed explicitly tell us that she spread the rumors, and it’s important to note that it was not that andrew is in love with her, it was specifically that he has been raping her since she was a child and her goal was to ruin his social life entirely, make him an outcast nobody wanted to be around and destroy all other relationships for him, current ones and potential future ones. she told people that her brother is a rapist and child molester when he has never laid a finger on her, let’s not bullshit around that.

enough said.

do i think this means she can’t learn to be good to andrew and recognize and respect that he has personhood? no. in burial we have seen that ashley is capable of change and growth and she can slowly learn to see andrew. but ashley’s actions in the past and in decay are utterly incompatible with her supposedly loving him, caring for him and respecting him as a person, and perceiving him as a human being deserving of those things at all.

i’m absolutely not interested in takes where people claim these two things can be true at once here (in decay and in the past). all of us who have survived abuse have had to accept that someone who abuses you and continuously harms you with no remorse doesn’t love you, no matter how many times they say this, and in decay we left “toxic relationship” and “abusive tendencies causing unintentional harm” behind a long ass time ago. this isn’t toxic and unhealthy, this is abuse on an undeniable extreme level. full stop.

i miss when people could just dislike things without somehow making it a sociopolitical statement.

it's never "i just don't like that show/comic/movie/manga/anime, i think it sucks".

now it's gotta have some deep reason tied to your personal lore or identity or wtv the fuck. essay youtubers are the worst at this.

at this point i just don't bother to read/watch any critiques of anything anymore, i hate having to click out of a vid midway, wasting 15 minutes of my time because you bring out some bullshit looney excuse like "that anime is misogynistic because the protag has her titties out" or wtv.

just say you don't like titties and move on, man, it's not the activism you think it is.

they actually looked so cute here lmao
