How mofos be acting when they see Esdeath
View attachment 5261698
Esdeath my beloved <3 ... I named the Frostwrym in my TiTs play through after her. Akame ga Kill! may be babby's first dark manga but she awakened my love for evil women. I already was predisposed to strong women, but Esdeath got me down bad for unabashedly evil bitches. That series had so many bombshells in it, thinking back.
Keyword is in my first post, "personalized". Youre playing with other peoples creations, not your own OCs. Ergo, you cant expect every npc to evolve in the direction YOU WANT them too.
Which is how every single game works, so the expectation for it to follow your own individual head canon is ridiculous.
Okay...? I get that it's up to the writers to write what they want to write for their characters. I'm pretty sure most people here understand that. I do at least. But that doesn't stop me from criticizing them or the direction they take their characters. Just because something is the writer's vision doesn't make it gospel.
This is the equivalent of someone saying "Don't like it don't read it!" which on it's own is sound advice, but is ultimately just shutting down discourse. When you post something online for the public to see, they are free to have as many differing takes as there are about it. And you, the writer, are free to take the criticism to heart or just outright ignore it.
You also can't just tell people pointedly, "Don't headcanon this, or write that!" I mean, you can. You can also take legal action if someone tries to claim your characters as their own, or profit off of them, but you cannot force people to not write your characters in their own interpretation. Here's a link back to one of my earlier comments here touching on this:
I've said many times there are some characters that I'm just straight up not attracted to. Whether due to their bust, the fetish their geared towards, their body type, etc. If I mod CoC II myself, I won't touch them at all. So I hope you're not trying to frame this as all criticism leveled at Savin and friends are just angry contrarians who want every character to tailored to them. Because that would be the peak of bad faith.
