#and i've also talked a lot abt how weird ppl have been towards Merry which i also think has endeared her to some people mdnfkjs

i went through the whole merry search on your account and i can't believe people used to hate her? how do you not love a messy bitch who starts drama.............

sooo true, anon. unfortunately we live in a world where people hate women 😔 but i will say you're right, it's gotten a lot better recently. i think it has to do with a combination of me really curating my audience over the past year, and in general things are very different now compared to when i started in 2020. more genderlocked companions, more trans characters, and it's pretty common now for games to have poly romance options, as well as love interests that will pursue other characters if the player doesn't show interest in them. (the last 2 being things people really hated Merry for in the beginning)

people definitely still don't like it, but i think they are more of a loud minority now than the loud majority like they were previously. which has been a really nice change to see :-)

#or maybe im just in my own little world after annoying everyone away LOL #but i've definitely noticed a change recently regarding Merry #i used to get a Lot of messages about how much ppl hated her or wanted to beat her up #very normal things #but now i definitely feel that she's become more of a favorite #again i think that's also largely bc i have a predominantly trans audience now compared to before #and my opinions and uhhhh. Personality have definitely pushed certain crowds away #and i've also talked a lot abt how weird ppl have been towards Merry which i also think has endeared her to some people mdnfkjs #unfortunately at the start tho she was a woman (gasp) a trans woman (double gasp) and she flirted with Lea and was antagonistic #which people REALLY did not like. mdnfkjsfh #i still get the occasional out of pocket message and i suspect after some scenes in the next update i will get a few more #but i DO still think it's definitely shifted and more people like Merry these days than ever before #so. go Merry!!! 🎊 #feminism<3 #ask #anonymous
