On the Edge of Eldritch

ROUND 1 — Match 58 of 138

Arthur Lester (Malevolent)

Problematic because: "Lets see… There's the murder, the way he deliberately picks fights about stupid stuff with the entity literally acting as his eyes, the way he purposefully says hurtful things to said seeing eye-god, didn't even show up to his daughter's birth because of marital issues, oh, and who can forget the cannibalism that simultaneously forced John to continuously relive the murder preceding the cannibalism. Broadly put, Arthur is frequently selfish, callous, and cruel, especially to those he loves or is close to." Propaganda: "Arthur is the cockroach character. Man should be dead several times over, and in fact was dead a few times. He just keeps going and is an underdog constantly -- a blind human facing against literal gods and he just pushes on and commits to emerging victorious. Also who doesn't love a character with a massive guilt complex and an excessive supply of self-loathing?"

vs. Ewen Montagu (Operation Mincemeat)

Problematic because: "oh BUDDY. this is the world's most misogynistic man. he's got main character syndrome turned up to 100, to the degree where he literally writes a movie ABOUT HIS OWN LIFE, STARRING HIMSELF AS THE MAIN CHARACTER. he thinks he should be king of England. he hardly worked a day in his life, he makes everyone around him do his work for him." Propaganda: "he. he's played by Natasha Hodgson. and. she's pretty 🥺👉👈"
