(WIP) Reasons why Baldi isn't evil/a murderer/a bad teacher:

EDIT: He does indeed get upset at you when you fail a math problem, but tbh most math teachers are just Like That. XD BBCR and BBIEAL are considered non-canon/retconned by mystman12 himself ( which means the whole, "baldi getting mad at you for getting a problem wrong" thing isn't canon! Sadly though, that might also mean that the cute little interactions you get with Baldi after null is removed are also non-canon ToT

EDIT: Null didn't cause the corruption, he WAS trying to warn you about it, though! I believe it's something to do with the 99 entity. And yes, Baldi is intentionally supposed to chase you, but I believe it's literally just hide and seek, like in BB+. Either that, or he lightly reprimands you or tells you the correct answer when he catches you in this game. Null is also not actually a villain. He's an antagonist. As of now (Sept 2025) there are no actual villains in Baldi's Basics. Speaking of Null... HE was the reason BBCR and the original game were like that! Once his corruption was removed, the game -and characters- went back to normal! :D

-

In BB+, Baldi doesn't get mad at you for failing something, he gets sad (said in his own words in the Pic-Quick-Nic minigame description!) He only seems to get angry if you fail math questions or the activities like the matching minigame and balloon minigame, although if you intentionally fail the math question in the tutorial, he strangely doesn't... In the old camping math minigame he didn't, either.... He went "ohhhhh...." Just like with the other minigames.

-

He is literally just playing hide and seek with you in BB+! He asks you if you want to play, counts down, and then tries to seek you while you collect notebooks! (Also multiple descriptions of the game and tutorial say that he "tags" you instead of killing/harming you.)

-

If he really killed/harmed students for getting problems wrong, beans would've been dead ten times over! (He canonically has dyscalculia and has been held back multiple times now.) And yes, I know about his voice lines speaking of them throwing the book at him. It's a figure of speech meaning to punish or reprimand as harshly as possible, and this expression originally meant “sentence a convicted person to the maximum penalties allowed”. I believe Principal is the one who mostly punished him, since another of his lines is "I will be sent to the guy of the Thing, smacking my head and causing a ring" Honestly though, I don't think principal was really that harsh either, that just doesn't seem in his nature... He usually just gives you detention, he doesn't hit you or anything of the sort!

-

EDIT: Johnny is not technically a student (I think) but you get the gist of it! His students canonically love him! Johnny practically jumps at the chance to go on a field trip with him, and usually says "say hi to Baldi for me!" when leaving his store!

it's literally so exhausting being a black fan and seeing how people treat the sole black companion. he's an origin character but he gets treated like a secondary companion like jaheira, minthara, or minsc even by larian.
