I feel like there's a sharp contrast between how Pierrot acts in the game (all the spicy stuff he said to MC in their sleep) and how he answers to the creator's AMA's. Is he double faced or does he act innocent and clueless on purpose and is actually no better than Harleyquin about his intentions ?
I love your point of view about the whole lore !
??? I'm not sure I follow.
In the game he is pure/clueless 1000%
The fact that he gives you a bloody rose while actively bleeding, the fact that he kills that karen for you THINKING you'll like it? The fact that you can accidentally roofie yourself by eating the circus food and he's like: "oh....right.....we have that ...."---day2 MC asks him to explain and he's like ">_>"
He's a silly, just a dangerous silly.
But trust me, you can see his silliness in the game just as you can see how dangerous he is in the AMAs (he's been PLENTY threatening in the AMAs).
He just has two sides of himself, he's not using us or anything. For example: I have a version of myself when I'm with my family, as opposed to when I'm at work or with my friends. Same idea.
To MC, he tries to show the more positive aspects of his personality (just as we all do on a first date), while hiding the more negative/obsessive qualities at night while we sleep.
