I don't like touching fandom discourse but you guys genuinely only think the Pink fight in ch5 was a nothingburger fight because of misogyny. You see something overtly feminine and cute and suddenly it's not as deep as any of the other secret bosses.
They literally mirror kris and the player's relationship and definitively show we can't exist without kris and they can't without us and we'll have to learn to share the same goals and take care of one another to stay together and you guys all just said "haha hatsune miku gets the freedom motif wtf?? This doesn't make sense" and then don't read anything during the fight 🥲
Kris was so scared and shaken after the spamton neo fight because that showed no promise they could ever coexist beyond being a puppet. Pink is there to show it is possible to live alongside the player. They need to trust each other, the PLAYER needs to trust kris. That's the whole reason you can't get access to these fights specifically in the weird route because the player is ignoring kris' agency and wants and goals
