Someone will make a post like “Why isn’t anyone talking about this incredibly obvious plot point” like it’s not spelled out for the audience and warrants deeper analysis

"The creator definitely didn't put that much thought into it" well then clearly someone else has to and I think I'm the weirdo for the job

So Clark was obviously the real villain of the story— he’s an alcoholic who at the very least verbally abuses his wife and he ropes two of his young staff members into helping him map the backrooms when he knows they’re dangerous. I’d even argue that he has no concrete evidence that the still lives aren’t cognizant or feel pain and yet he hurts them without hesitation, something Mary objects to. Also, if still lives are memories or impressions of living people then symbolically the red haired still life in business attire represents Clark’s law student wife who instinctively runs away in terror from Pirate Clark. They’re mimics of their real world counterparts. In the end he refuses to take accountability for anything he’s done his refusal to change is what kills him— Pirate Clark, the literal amalgamation of the worst parts of him, eats him alive. And you can’t even really be mad at the monster then because it’s just doing what it’s wired to do.

The moral to the story of Backrooms is that nostalgia is the real killer. To live in warped memories, ignorant of the real world and its problems, while initially comforting will consume you entirely in the end if you let it.
