The way the narrative constantly makes Rebecca/Amanda suffer REALLY pisses me off. Genuinely this is SUCH overkill.
Let's start from the beginning because most of the fandom does not seem to realize/acknowledge this. Rebecca already had trauma BEFORE being adopted by Sam. He mentioned "despite all she'd been through" as in reference to her life prior to adoption. I'm going to be clear with you all, the fact Rebecca was in a situation which required her to need to be adopted implies that most likely, she'd already been in a traumatic situation. I've witnessed myself how even for very young children, the very act of taking a child from one home and placing them into another one can be traumatic and very disruptive to their development and affect them for the rest of their lives. Regardless of what exactly Rebecca went through, it is clear she was already healing from something that would've affected her for her entire life. Luckily, Sam (being fictional father of the year) was very kind and patient and a healing safe figure in her life that she very much needed.
Amanda 3 spoilers below:
Now what happens if you take a child who has already been through the pain of 'losing' a parent and make them go through it again? That in itself already felt cruel. Then you factor in the ways Hameln treated children in general that probably also applied to Rebecca, they isolated her from the world and experimented and operated on her. They transformed her into a cartoon character without her consent and made her play the role of Amanda for TWENTY YEARS, all whilst being trapped and isolated from all positive relationships and being stuck with someone who was emotionally manipulative and abusive towards her. Her friends grew up without her. Her father was killed. That friendly librarian she was friends with? Killed. Her first real fellow-child friend? Killed. IN FRONT OF HER. SHE FELT HERSELF ROTTING. She was being watched and haunted by the meatman who was/reminded her of the horrible people who operated on her body and rejected her autonomy. Not to mention all of the very very toxic ideas she parrots especially in Amanda 3 that Sam definitely did not teach her (blaming Wooly and/or Hameln). Her trauma with doctors and nurses too we have to consider here. And then we have the ending of the series where Rebecca is set free. She has literally lost everything. No therapist will ever believe her, I was discussing this with a friend who said: "if she even tried to explain it they would probably send her to a psych ward" and like... I hate to admit it but I think my friend has a point, unless they were able to fully prove Hameln's crimes (unlikely) they wouldn't believe her. The majority of the world probably doesn't even believe cursed tapes and demons are real. She cannot go to the hospital without them calling the police. Hameln is still DEFINITELY after her. They burnt down Kate's house for all this literally yesterday. She lost 20 years of development, she can't get a job because she is missing most of her k-12 education and can't even go to college. She will probably be in some way disabled for life as a result of being stationary for 20 years, probably having extreme fatigue, muscle weakness, and chronic pain if I were to guess. She's probably going to be running from Hameln for the rest of her life until they are destroyed. I'm barely mentioning even half of the issues that will arise. She escaped the tapes but she is essentially trading one hell for another.
But something seems especially cruel to me how every good thing she's ever had got ripped away from her. Her life, Sam, Kate, Chickenscratch. All to a little girl who was already probably struggling with the trauma of having her original home and family taken from her regardless of the reason. Like... why??? This is just plain CRUEL. No other character in this narrative is made to totally and completely suffer the way Rebecca has. Her entire story is mostly just... pure suffering. Why???? She doesn't deserve any of this!!! Why doesn't the narrative torture Hameln or Wooly?? Especially Wooly! Beyond me just being really sad for her and really just not wanting to see a little kid go through nothing but trauma over and over and over again (which was NOT what I was expecting in the first two games I do not know what I expected but it wasn't this)... it's just not great writing. If you make an entire character's arc just suffering over and over and every positive thing you give is just there so as to perpetuate further suffering there comes a point where you desensitize your audience. Also, in one of my writing textbooks for college I literally read this the other day but there's a whole section talking about this and how if you're writing a good story everything your character goes through you put your readers through too like emotionally. If you put the character through too much without the proper sensitivity it does turn your readers away from the story or at least limit how much they allow themselves to care. I love her character but she NEEDS something good and happy in her life that she is allowed to KEEP. Her narrative shouldn't be only suffering and pain. She should be allowed to have happy memories unclouded by guilt and trauma. OH NO TO MENTION I THINK @cctypical or @curliiwurlii mentioned that she's going to have SERIOUS survivors guilt from this too so tack that on to the list. BUT SEE?! What was the point in all of this? The more I analyze the story the more it starts to fall apart because what was the point? The message? What the heck is this story even trying to say??? Ugh... T^T my girl needs some justice guys. She really needs some justice. This just hurts... this game just hurts... Don't mind me I'm just going to keep imagining Amanda/Rebecca being HAPPY and having FUN and having GOOD THINGS while also making Wooly pay for his actions in my mind and burning down Hameln and punching the CEO and blowing up the meat market with the meatman inside. Fuck this game guys fuck it so much.
