I'm not attacking your characterisation. That's your opinion and you can have it. I'm not trying to change your opinion. I'm just saying it's not objective, and you shouldn't find it strange that other people see it differently, or project an opinion as something objective.I mean yea obviously i am defensive you are attacking my opinion and argument, as oppose to me criticizing a random fictional character in an adult game. What exactly am i trying to project onto others? That acting like a anti-social, cold, asshole with a school shooter vibe is bad?
We are not talking about objective reasons, we are talking about objective traits. Yes, thats what i have been trying to do here this whole time...
I'd say there's plenty of evidence in the game for him being emotional, confused, without a school shooter vibe. He gets nervous, worried, he doesn't know what to do with feelings towards Bella or Nami. He starts as a stylised character and gets fleshed out with more details as the story develops. If we ignore the previous WIP versions that are released, it's only Bella's comments about him being incel/emo, and Mila's comments that even tie him to past Nika. If wearing black and having having a stoic face is enough to be a schools hooter, you've described all the lighting, sound and stage management working on a musical theatre show. His dialogue shows development over the entire season, with changes of perception. But that what's I get from it. I grew up with grunge, everyone looked like that and most of them weren't school shooters. Most of the people I grew up with were slightly nihilistic/existentialism/stoic. So I personally don't find his character unbelievable.
I don't find his character bad because it fits the story - a persona has a trauma and is affected by it, and slowly starts reconnecting with the world around him. That you see it differently is completely fine.
