#if i was a greedy ceo id keep my golden goose (kokichi) alive for constant corporate harassment

can i be honest and say that the idea of danganronpa being a tv show where the tv actors are legit murdered on live television, and thats just that, never made sense to me.

i know we get vagueries of the world being all rotten and fucked up and its not like i deny this! but i think a big corrupt tv company that has a death grip on the worlds attention would want its actors around after the season ends for contracting shit, merch ads, interviews, etc etc etc.

it just makes more sense to me then actually killing off popular characters and basically never being able to do anything w them again bc you fucking killed the actor playing them. VR au just makes so much sense yknow

#im thinking abt this from like a corrupt capitalism standpoint #i do enjoy the usual art/fic of the survivors coping in a fucked world w/o their friends ofc #i just think. Personally. theyre all kept alive #if i was a greedy ceo id keep my golden goose (kokichi) alive for constant corporate harassment #like um no sir you signed this contract we wiped from your brain before putting you under so you belong to US now #NOW GET UP THERE AND POSE FOR THE CEREAL COMMERCIAL. #also partially related to the topic but i think tsumugi is as much as a pawn as the other characters #she was simply allowed to write the basic structure of the plot and was given the mastermind role #i totally think team DR meddled with her story tho lmao
