#tfc rant

this became longer than expected so skip if you don't have time, i don't mind

i've seen some people say how harle is a rapist while pierrot is a sweet baby (ignoring him being killer cuz idk if anyone really give a shit about that). no. just no he isn't. imo he is far from it. i useally pay attention to how characters act and react to certain things and i've noticed that while harle backs off when seeing the mc is uncomfortable with how he's acting. i have two examples, one for day one nd one for day two. for day one in tent scene after his show when he gets close enough to you that you hit the tent's wall he says some about you liking this (i don't remember the line and since im writing this night while i can't sleep i dont wanna play the game rn) and if you pick the option that you don't like it, he backs off instantly. in day two in the tent scene (the one where pierrot tied(?) you to the bed) he gets ontop and basicaly flirts with you and i think if you asked him to stop the scene ends faster then it would've if you were okay with him doing this. now on to pierrot. i have a few examples of why he's more of a sexual assaulter than harlequin. in day one, he kisses you in your sleep (in day one when you first wake up it says you have a strange taste in your mouth, probably and hopefully only a kiss from him) then again in the same day when you say you probably won't come back he literally drugs you and keeps you in a tent, you might say what about when the route where you buy druged food and eat it? well, after he found out you were druged. despit knowing where you live and most likely able to bring you home, he does the same thing -_-. day two, when he breaks into your house and you step away he fucking throws you on the bed and pins you. you might be saying what about the other tent scene with harle. if i'm not wrong (plz correct me if i am, i want this to be valid and unbaised as possible) it was said that harlequin would've stop if you were uncomfortable with it why he didn't stop when you tired to hit him or the fact you were scared? let's be honest, we all knew what was gonna happen if we followed and so did the mc but unlike us, the mc didn't know they were monster until later in that day, that why the mc was scared, not because they didn't want it

i'm not making this because i hate pierrot and love harlequin. i love both of them and in fact i hated harle at first until i payed more attention to his reactions. i love pierrot and i do call him my sweet little baby boy but if this was real life, i wouldn't like him because of how he acts, i might feel comfortable enough to talk to him but enough to let him touch me in any way (not because i hate him, i'm just very picky about who gets to touch me in any way) while with harle, i would trust him with my drink, i would pick him over a bear, and i would trust him to keep me safe in a bar or club without drawing too much attention and i would feel comfortable enough to let him hold my hand
