Could be I'm from a different part of the internet, but don't people like that get viewed as the cringiest kind of fans? I'm thinking of the kind of people who made the Reylo ship their entire personality, or the people that'd send in hate mail to the actors and writers on Supernatural for having one of the protagonists chat with an attractive woman for half a second.
That's a different thing, there's just people who likes characters for the sake of just that, liking it then we have the insane "fans", the very same fans who ruin a lot of franchises 'cause moronic people in the higher ups listen to those people.
Those same people are the ones that dove face-first down the depths of delusion and insanity.
Kinda like those parasocial
fans of idols in JP or even worse, Netflix writers.
In this game's case it's just annoying 'cause there's no consistency in the PC's character itself, not just the PC tbh if you start digging for more.
Think of this game as the new VELMA and the first game as the old school scooby doo gang, anyone would be mad at this.
