ugh i totally agree with everything you said about v in that anon response. tbh i'm still so confused about what cher/itz was going for there? they make it clear that he did what he did because he was trying to protect everyone he possibly could and they explicitly show that he was a victim of domestic abuse who couldn't bring himself to leave his abuser (because she manipulatively placed sole responsibility for her mental health entirely on him), making him a sympathetic character (1/4)
but then they turn around and **** him with no chance for redemption, instead giving the redemption arc to said abuser who gets a new start with no consequences for her actions, and also gets the continued love and admiration of the very people she betrayed. and the audience is supposed to be okay with this because?? fuck v i guess?? i will never understand why chertz made such a compelling, complex, extremely flawed but still sympathetic character and just threw him in the trash like that (2/4)
and called it a happy ending. like i would say itâs intentionally bittersweet and youâre supposed to feel for v, but so much of the fandom shits on him as much as the characters in the game did and iâm just? am i missing something here? i just donât know. i just donât see how we as the audience are supposed to villanize him after all the development the game gave him, but i also canât see how weâre supposed to be okay with how his story ends. itâs just super frustrating and imma be forever (ž)
bitter about how he was treated in the game. (itâs actually why iâm not as active in the fandom as i was before playing sevenâs route). itâs seriously tragic and honestly v was such a great character and deserved to be part of a narrative that treated him better ;_;. (sorry for the multi-part rant i just got a lot of v feelings and reading that ask brought em all up again lmao) (4/4)
well you basically took the words right out of my mouth? i donât have anything to add besides emphasizing my intense frustration over the ending bullshit. it REALLY pisses me off that half of the rfa are totally in the dark about the whole situation. they literally go full circle with lying about r*ka. did they not see where that got v? r*ka being around literally helps no one. toss her ass in jail, she can get help there. oh right they were gonna but zen just had to have a dream and prevent it from happening jfhsdgd iâm not really mad at him for that since he didnât know everything about what was going on but was instead told that r*ka was just a disciple But alsoâŚ.did he not question as to why they were trying to ship her off to jail. anyway thatâs off topic lol.Â
chrtz really must not have expected people to like him so much considering the whole no justice/redemption thing. they truly just brushed him under the rug and acted like nothing even happened. seven deleting the files about r*ka makes me want to explode lmao jfhgkjh GOD i truly canât with this canon ending shit. what does k****** v even do for the plot? like oh good everyone forgives him AFTER he d***?! fuck that. but alsoâŚugh. imagine they keep him alive and r*ka pops up in his vicinity lmao iâd delete the app right then and there.
anyway v deserves sooooo much better than all the shit he got. deserves better than his abusing ex-fiancee, deserves better than being brushed under the rug, deserves better than getting no justice whatsoever. i will definitely remain bitter about how they treated him. then they tossed his closest friendship in the trash in the dlc HAhahaâŚgreat. just great.
