I had an ex oomf who was obsessed with that game (reason they're an ex oomf) and it was like ummmmmmmm? Interesting way to behave 😭 happy to see someone else who hates it and wants to save angel 😭
like dgmw i love mutual obsession i love crazy4crazy i love corruption i love going off the deep end i love when protags become villains themselves i Love shit like that. where its equal. i was honest to god under the impression angel was just as fucking nuts. i had NO. IDEA.
and i figured at least if they werent both fucking deranged murderers itd still be like. interesting and compelling. but it literally wasnt. at least not in the way it was intended to be. i loved angel like i really really really liked angel! i was so distressed for them the whole time bc like they are So utterly fucked over in every way possible. but it just felt like trauma porn and like their helplessness was being fetishized hardcore.
like i get it, horrors not always gonna be comfortable for everyone, thats kind of the point, but theres a difference between "this is uncomfortable" and "this is the authors barely disguised fetish"
like i kinda liveblogged the entire thing to my bestie and i was so fucking mad the whole time. i hated it. angel martinez take my hand i will share my stimulants with you and we can job search together. please. help me help you beloved i have Been you.
