claire and the thingstiel

- In the two camps that like/do not like the nendo, there are reasonable and unreasonable takes.

- the two camps are constantly talking past each other and addressing only the unreasonable opinions.

Reasonable:

(Nay) It’s OK to find the death faceplate and the circumstances around it upsetting, and not wanting to buy it. Anya’s fate was very sombre and grounded in realism despite the fantastic setting, and that resonated with a lot of people not least in part of similar trauma.

(Yea) Wanting to buy and display merch says nothing about the owner as a person, simply that they enjoyed the game and want to see the physical representation of a character they liked and even identified with on their shelf (perhaps because of similar trauma!)

Unreasonable:

(Nay) People who want to buy and the devs who want to make merch of a SA victim are bad people and rape apologists.

(Yea) People who dislike the nendo are senstive snowflakes, it’s a game, it’s not that deep.
