#ignored in favor of pushing the agenda that everyone in five is filth down to the core and that's just not true

one day when i am not busy dying on the inside and out i will write an honest-to-god essay about how people are, for the lack of a better descriptor but simultaneously for the lack of a more perfect one, too edgy about five.
#like yeah five is an edgy game and the darkest in the series and gloomier than all of its predecessors but. i lack the words for it now but
#there are important little moments in five where light shines through the carpet haphazardly thrown over a pile of garbage that oft get
#ignored in favor of pushing the agenda that everyone in five is filth down to the core and that's just not true
#i just- deeeeeeep sigh. people are so shallow sometimes man
#this is how we get those characters that do not resemble the original in the slightest that either take one trait of the given character an
#then bloat and exagerrate it until the character is a caricature of themselves OR projections of what the people would like these character
#to BE in order to... be able to wrap their heads around them and their motivations more easily‚ i guess??
#i don't know it feels to me like people just don't want to bother with the intricacies of complex characters and that's how the wood plank
#versions of characters get created and then passed around ad infinitum
#sweet grouchy baby boy who never did anything wrong ever. man who is either an innocent little big guy or satan himself. guy who is
#objectively one of the most flawed individuals in the series being worshipped as a hero (griffith syndrome). guy who is either depicted as
#an obnoxious playboy who only cares about getting laid and having as much skin exposed as possible at all times or the most vile man on
#planet earth while being neither. the fucking. masochist cyborg thing. i'm gonna explode
#oh and if you point out that there needs to be depth to any analysis of these characters if you are to do them justice you end up with a
#gaggle of people saying oh yeah of course everyone in here is awful and they all have pig hearts
#and i'm just wondering why this is the default conclusion most come to and not‚ you know‚ the thought that complexity does not inherently
#imply rottenness but rather that even in the most horrible of situations you can find something good
#i'm not the happiest or the most fortunate of individuals but i still refuse to believe in the idea of inherent evil that's being sold for
#cheaper than a copy paper pack these days
#but that has nothing to do with this my point is if you're trying to do media analysis you've got to look beyond... i don't have a word for
#this... i guess you could call them fanmade stereotypes? no that's not it‚ my point is that people need to open their eyes to how complex
#motivations and circumstances and human connection are and face that complexity head on instead of rubbing the story with sandpaper until
#it's satisfiable to them
