you make really good points, I think I used the term karmic wrong sorry. I think of it more as not how I personally think he deserved all that happened to him (which thinking back os exactly what karma means, I messed up sorry), but as his fate being directly tied/parallel to anyas. I handnt noticed the toxicity of jimmy and curlys relationship, from the first playthrough I watched and the first interactions I had w fandom I saw so many ppl just. dismiss the terror Anya went through and focus too much on him as the "ultimate victim" and that just didn't sit well w me. I really dislike seeing ppl go "oh well nothing could've been done" I think it's much more complex than that. also I forgot to mention in the last ask that I really appreciate you bringing the point that this game isn't just about the harm of patriarchy but also very very critical to capitalism, I haven't seen too many ppl touch on this. I hadn't thought too deeply about how it makes "he deserved to become disabled as punishment" come up and I agree that's really messed up. I'll try watching a playthrough again with all of this in mind. but either way thanks! I really appreciate your answer 🫶🏼

I guess this is just part of being in a fandom like this. I've noticed a lot of people don't actually see posts outside of their curated view. So some people only get like anya posting or jimmy or curly and it can make it seem like that is what is saturating the conversation.

I mainly just follow the general tags and look for anything new because I'm like obsessed but I know some are only looking for what they want or believe to be the case and can get weird about other ideas.

Sorry if I came off mean its just a last few of the asks have been like circular conversations like this and its not draining per say but seeing all the nuance and details get overlooked to fit a straightforward and basic narrative really sucks cause there's a lot to explore character and theme wise.

#its like idk i feel like im yapping about the same stuff over and over and over again cause people confuse simple on paper with simple in #execution or like without the human factor like idk sometimes to humanzie Anya people dehumanize the other characters to an extent #which is also part of the systemic problem because by dehumanizing people you take away from the awareness like idk the statements #that curly was the captain and just a guy like have to exist together hes like an okay find decent even good captain just not great #hes not exceptional and i think a lot of people are acting like the game said he is when thats just jimmy like Swansea and Anya see that he #just a guy under everything else hence why they dont feed into the vitriol jimmy tries to serve about him crashing the ship and how they #talk to him pre crash even with anya i feel like people are so focused on trying to see what jimmy doesnt that they are adding intention w #where there isnt not even on like she cant be this scale more so you are treating this like everyone in this game is doing some secret gran #gambit when they are just trying to surviv in really back circumstances like having anya respond to jimmys behaviro through the #fawn effect isnt making her a weak depiction its a real response that can coexist with purposeful action because she is clearly scared of #Jimmy even if she hates and thinks he's incompentent like shes not gonna roll over for him but shes gonna be docile in his presence so he #doesnt create a reason in his head to lash out at her like people simply cannot combine concepts to create the complex responses we see in #the game and idkn why its so hard because not every statement contridicts like Jimmy is a monsterous asshole can exist with how #systematic oppression and social enabling create/allow people like him to do their worse cause at the end of the day he chose to do #everything he did despite other options vs the others trying to figure out the best option for all whether that was the best or not like #he dug his own grave vs the others sorta being lined up in front of theirs and shot like this is more interesting to me than him just being #like idk cartoonishly evil and gross and why cant concepts stakes like fitting aspects together is fun its like the worlds shitties puzzle #mouthwashing #mouthwashing game #anon #ask #ur fine anon im just insane and get frustrated easily when i think im explaining something bad
