I personally think that sometimes people overcorrect on the “Kim isn’t a saint” argument or talk about him like he’s a static character, like the contradictions aren’t part of an ongoing arc. love 2 push Kim to interrogate his own flaws and beliefs more but I also think it’s obvious that he would rise to the challenge. some characters have such a glowing, radiant capacity for growth in them. the halo is real it’s just not about perfection it’s the overwhelming humanity

Is the regeneration similar to deadpool? Where you grow baby legs (if you lost your legs) and they grow into normal legs?
Do they grow from bone, to muscle, veins, and eventually skin?
Or do they grow under the skin over time? Like your thigh slowly starts to grow from nothing, to a stump, to a knee, and eventually completely all together?

It’s more ~funky~ than that, actually! In this comic, I kinda show what it is. Basically, a grey haze fizzes off of whatever area on Leo is messed up, and that area is mostly obscured until he fades back to his original self.

Does anyone else look at the characters they’ve made and are like... shook cuz of how fucked up some of them are? lolololol
me: i like to put a little bit of myself in each of my characters, tee hee! So relatable like wooow oh my goshhhh. 💕✨💕✨💕
also me: creates the shittiest, most horrifically fucked up, morally deficient, literal ‘garbage personified as human’ antagonists who would delight in gaslighting you and manipulating you into selling your ailing grandmother for a half-eaten tuna sandwich.
my brain: 👀

Vivia seemed to be in a really bad mood during Chapter 4’s mystery labyrinth.
Congrats, Vivia! The man you admired and cared for deeply who took you and your fellow massacre survivors in and swore to protect them murdered a man in cold blood!
If I was Vivia in that situation, I'd be pretty damn gloomy myself! Some semblance of regret may've took hold of him, wishing he could've seen the signs of Yakou's plan sooner and try to intervene. Much to his misfortune, the wheels of fate kept on turning. Since there's nothing he could do about it, he reached his last bastion when entering the Mystery Labyrinth. He shielded Yuma from the truth in hopes that they could turn their backs and walk away from it. He tested Yuma's will to the greatest extent, and in turn, Yuma eased him into acceptance as they both processed the truth laid out before them.
Don't even get me started on when Vivia discovers that Yomi sparked the match that lit Yakou's murderous intent. He had every right to be pissed! I wouldn't be surprised if it took a lot of self-restraint to stop himself from charging at mystery phantom Yomi.

There's something interesting to be said about the opinions of different fanbases based on culture and how it affects the votes but it's late and I can't write it out too much so only one example for today: amane
Down under the cut so if it gets too long it won't affect anyone's scrollin
Also warning the tags are long on this one
- <- this indicates a new talking point
Basically I think the jp/more asian parts of the fandom tend to lean towards greater good (amane guilty to protect shidou/mahiru/fuuta because if shidous incapacitated in any way someone's dying, mahiru is prone to dying any moment, fuuta is prone to cult mindset rn). Despite my non japanese speaking ass not being able to gather direct evidence for this, I use those surrounding me (asian in asian country) as evidence; namely, how they're mostly amane guilty voters
-Now I'm not saying my personal take but the reason given for guilting her is well. As much as it will cause her more woe it's one way of guaranteeing the safety of the prison. Shidou is the only medical professional after all, and she's "completely hostile" towards him, acc to jackalope. And she doesn't need to overpower him; shes smart, and could sabotage his equipment or just like. Go for his hands to incapacitate him. I doubt he'd fight back.
-Alternatively, it's because it would cause her to fall back on believing she's right. Telling her she's forgiven with how she's acting would cause her to believe her persistance and dedication to this (harmful) mindset is what got her forgiven in the first place
-Meanwhile more western? English fanbase ig I'm not too sure of demographic, but the English speaking side tends to focus on how it affects her. Because of the belief that another guilty verdict will cause more harm to her, an innocent verdict is the obvious solution. What I've seen is the greater focus on what caused the murder over the murder itself and the effects of an innocent verdict on others and then her beliefs. A focus on the past over what she's promised to do in the present and future perhaps. Idk.
-Another reason for the difference could. Possibly be how punishment is viewed? Western countries have much more stigma over any form of punishment but in Asian countries it's normal. Now while I'd say physical punishment isn't the way to go, the refusal of punishment shouldn't be rewarded (imo) but that's all I'll say on it.
-The English fanbase also focuses a lot on how young amane is and how her circumstances were terrible and all that. Those around me tend to focus more on her thoughts around the crime, what she believes the crime was for and how in the right she thinks she is. This may also be the cause of the moral grandstanding I see so often (ie. If you vote amane guilty you're a baaad person) (I don't agree with this btw. That's stupid this is fiction don't insult others over an opinion)
What I will say is the English speaking side is more sympathetic towards amane. They (y'all?) Take her situation into a lot of consideration, and focus on her age as a large factor. Whereas those around me and I assume might be close to the views of the japanese fanbase are more objective, looking at what harm she could cause and what's the greater of the two evils, as well as what she's going to do with the verdict (ie. Use the inno verdict as her doctrines are correct and very right).
There's slight thought given to her age and circumstance of course, by it that's not the main concern rn. Given the current situation, most of my milgram voting friends stay certain that an innocent verdict will not end well, hence the guilty vote. I mean I have a couple friends that feel bad for guiltying her because of her circumstance, but do it anyway cuz it's for the better. My opinion is that she should've been innocent trial one, since we wouldn't have known the concequences, but it's too late now and an innocent will cause more harm overall
tldr asian fanbase from experience focus on the crime itself + what they're gonna do with that experience whereas eng speaking fanbase focus on the circumstances surrounding the crime and on judging only the crime
In myyy opinion. Judging only the crime based on your interpretation isn't how the system should be working, it should take into consideration the prisoners' attitudes and how the prisoner perceives the crime as well.
I hope this was coherent I typed it out at 11pm and went to bed immediately after and I've barely edited anything cuz awake me is less coherent than half asleep me
Also hope this was an interesting post? This topic is interesting to me but I explain better in speaking over typing so it's probably hard to read but I hope this topic scritches y'all's brains like it does mine :)

//I think the more I watch d.bd discussion videos or read threads the more I realize people who enjoy certain k.illers will argue tooth and nail they're good game design, because they like playing them instead of realizing "Yeah its kind of bad actually that a killer is so un-interactive on the s.urvivors side its either leave and get hit or stay there and get hit anyway."
