Yes yes, of course!! I’ve always felt very very strongly about Angelina and her “relationship” with Franco. There’s always been very weird sides of the fandom that completely deny Angelina shaping the way Barbi views and treats women because she abused him. Even if it’s not explicitly stated in game or in his comics, it’s very heavily implied since seeing her name makes him feel grief and horror (said in an evidence document).

YES YES YES!!!!!! 🥹🥹🥹🥹

Correct me if there’s rules I didn’t know about, but I’m Franco everything. Franco kin, Franco yume, Franco everything, I love him 🥹🥹🥹🥹🫰🫰🫰🫰

Just want to say that I do really love how vocal you’re being about Angelina, because it needed to happen. Some Outlast fans are terrified of a bit of nuance and the idea of a victim not being perfect, and it’s really sad to see. I see a lot of the take that it’s misogynistic to say she’s an abuser, but I’d argue that it’s actually way more misogynistic to imply that women can’t be abusers, that’s just viewing her as some delicate flower who can’t do anything. I’ll agree with the take that she probably was abused and probably did face misogyny, but Franco was also abused and he faced ableism; they like to conveniently forget about him being abused when his abuse is canon, and hers is speculation. What she did wasn’t justified, and neither was what Franco did, but Franco actually has a lot more to his character than just being a bad person. Angelina is a very one note character who only exists to abuse Franco, to be part of the reason behind him being a bad person, and that’s all we learn about her. Franco probably initially learned misogyny from Salvatore and the rest of the mafia, but Angelina wasn’t making that any better. She was supposed to be a mother, and instead she took advantage of her disabled stepson. There’s no reason to like or support her. I have so many reasons to not like her, but I don’t want to just ramble on in your ask box.

Side note, keep up the amazing art! I’m a big fan of all of it, you draw the characters very well!

Ill start with PLEEEAAASSSEEE ramble in my ask box!!! I love talking to people, I will respond to almost everything if I can, put whatever you want in my asks, it’s very baron!! 🥹

I’m glad you brought up the rest of her being pretty much all speculation. Theres literally nothing else stated about her (to my knowledge), it’s all assumptions because of the time period they lived in. It’s, of course, not out of the realm of possibilities for her to have also been abused, or faced other challenges because of the period they were in. But none of that is a reason for her to sexually abuse who was supposed to be her son. To my knowledge, none of Franco’s other stepmothers sexually abused him, she had no reason or excuse to. She’s inexcusable, and I can never respect someone liking her 😮‍💨

i rlly dont get it.... just bc outlast features heavy stuff doesn't automatically mean that everyone likes or justifies it! if anything, it's an invitation to look at everything thru a more nuanced pov . since every single character ended up in the trials due to their inability to truly cope w the environment they grew up in. angelina is a testament to franco's survival and lack of any sort of healthy parental support, not open field day for weird ppl 😭

anyway, frfr hate those outlast fans & have a good day/night ♡

No fr tho. I don’t understand how people like her character, we have no substance about her outside of her grooming Franco. It’s so disturbing seeing people love her *for* being a groomer.

Obviously everyone in outlast is horrible, no justification, but they have backstories and behaviors that make people like them. Angelina has nothing else…..
