'Kris being an outcast who likes freaking people out means they must be a Bad Person™️ and thus taking their free will and piloting them like a puppet is actually Good™️ morally speaking'
How about I eat your skin how bout that
#the lack of nuance people address Kris with makes me want to bite things every day
#also they are LITERALLY A TEENAGER who as far as we know is JUST A BIT WEIRD
#tho I think part of it may be a purposeful commentary on how we treat characters vs real people even in a story we buy in2 very genuinely
#bc certain traits both behavioral and physical- when observed in the context of a story- set Villain Flags mentally
#whereas irl the same actions or things would be considered (fairly) innocuous
#or at least not judged on such a concious unabashed definite level
#I think its similar with Berdly how every1 is like 'this bitch annoying can we please kill him'
#and then in Snowgrave you fucking DO- wish granted
#but in-universe all you've done is fucking murder a teenager whose biggest crime is being kind of obnoxious
#even with a universe you're invested in and where you care a lot about the characters
#your role as a player/observer taking on the identity of someone in that world- no matter how immersed you get-
#is still fundamentally different from how things are viewed in-universe
#because you are still reacting to things as you would a story while characters are applying the standards of what to them is real life
#EVEN WHEN you buy into the fiction that the characters are meant to be concious beings who you the player r interacting with thru the game
#not that this is necessarily a 'bad thing' but ut and it seems dr are works abt exploring our relationship to fiction and its characters
#and about how much we think we empathize with them but also treat them in a way we'd never treat people
#but yea the amount of ppl I see saying Kris is EEEEEEVIL bc they have red eyes and like knives and steal pie
#and because they don't seem to want to stick to the script the story has laid out for them
#and how them being EEEEEVIL or even just Not Vewy Nice :( makes taking over their body not AT LEAST morally questionable
#is infuriating
#maybe bc they don't want to deal w the fact that we as a player are participating directly in their suffering
#if not the entire cause of it/the person its for in the first place
#and like I get it that sucks and I feel bad thinking abt it too but I think thats kinda the point
#the victim doesn't have to be perfect or likeable or even a good person for their suffering to matter and be fucked up
#but that rationale is very commonly used in stories to dismiss/diminish/justify morally troubling actions
#and tbh I think that one is used for how people treat real-life narratives as well to some degree
#ok bye
