There's a moment in I think SH2 where Pat and Matt get on the subject of outliving your children, and there's this one sentence that Pat ends with "but I don't have to worry about it cuz I already know I'm gonna die young haaa", and I could actually physically feel his dread creeping through my monitor. Jesus Pat.

I still don't understand why Pat doesn't like SA. It seems like he'd fit right in here.

It's probably one of those things where you hate the people that remind you the most of yourself. Also if he's familiar with SA through gaming, goons are pretty notorious in certain gaming communities for trolling and griefing the poo poo out of people.

Honestly the reason why Pat probably doesn't like SA (although I don't know if that's actually been said anywhere) is because there's this weird culture here of obnoxious contentless shitposts being funny. There's nothing necessarily wrong with that, humor is totally subjective and cultures form out of large numbers of people who share the same subjectivity, but I don't blame him for not wanting to partake. Despite goons' general similarities to Pat's outlook on life, that doesn't mean he'd be a fitting member of SA or is the reason he has distaste for the forums.

Matt is braver than Pat, is what I'm basically saying.

Yeah it's probably part this. Pat got burned on another website (luelinks/end of the internet) full of obnoxious shitposting when someone on there leaked stuff he posted to the bro team people on twitter. He was not happy about it. Same thing happened to Jason Scherer earlier this year (who also posted on eti in the past). Ended up that the Bro Team guy had an account and was the mods finally banned him but the whole experience probably made pat gun shy about posting on forums full of trolls that sometimes put posts behind a paywall.

I've seen more complaints about him being an annoying third wheel than anything else. Some people seemed legitimately upset about that which shows me even more that shipping is bad.

I've watched the LP up to the last episode and he hasn't really done anything particularly bad. I'm not sure where the really strong hatred came from, since at the beginning it was more like "Haha look at this friendzoned loser."

He does seem a little creepy though, because apparently there's a little thing in Episode 2 where if you look out the window he's basically trying to peek in Max's dorm room. :whitewater:

As admittedly disturbing as it is there's really no evidence it was real at all. In a section crammed with references to the audience/community that are basically "Hey remember this thing? winkwinknudgenudge", like the bottle collecting and everyone acting like crazy exaggerated versions of themselves and crazy stalkers, I'm not sure of the validity of an imaginary locker. It's a loving nightmare realm, unless you seriously think Chloe totally did kiss Victoria too.

It's Max's version of the world, meaning that's what she thinks Warren is.

My understanding of the game based on the podcast being that's how Max sees Warren and how the devs want the player to see him.

Which makes the notion that you can apparently choose him and that Woolie did hilarious.

Why does Woolie find it so hard to understand why they don't kill the kids in Ultra Despair Girls? Like there are so many problems with the game and its characters, but that is not one of them. His comparison of Max and Komaru was pretty stupid too.

Same time there's scenes of Chloe getting together with literally everyone and hitting on Jefferson while going "no this isn't right nooo!" It's really, reeeeally flimsy. You literally turn into Victoria at one point too and taking that as truth when it's surrounded by lies is hilarious.

Then again they made it clear they chose to become mass murderers at the end of the run so maybe Liam = Warren really was true.



Undertale talk aside I knew the fight would end early which is a shame but at the same time I'm kinda curious if they got the fact Sans was talking with Toriel. It didn't come off like they picked up on it but iunno v:shobon:v

I didn't watch Ultra Despair Girls, but letting serial murders run free sounds really loving dumb regardless if they're kids or not? Like the trope of "whoops we let the badguy get away again" is infuriating. Liam sorta kept repeating that a building fell on them, but Woolie made it sound like there was more then one?

I bet if they had been creepy and hit on the main character Liam would be on board with the murdering.

One of them molested the main character and you have to play a minigame to stop it before ripping the same childs clothes off. Said child has killed countless adults ontop of everything- she joins the heroes and is portrayed as one at the end.

There's 5 kids and 4 of them in the credits despite all the murder are painted as "no they totally reformed and are on the good guys side!" despite the slaughter and horrific things they did and the other one is going on to (apparently) be the series big bad in the future. The character that's going to kill even more was piled under some rubble and the cast just walk by her like eh w/e I'm sure it'll be fine due to the building collapsing which lets another character run in and save her.

All the characters in Dangan Ronpa are not great. By that I mean they're not written well.

The main character leaves the killer alone not because she thinks she'll be fine, but because she doesn't care. After trying to be hoisted as a Christ figure for bloodthirsty adults and murderous children, I think the answer of "gently caress off out of my town" is honestly one of the better choices I've seen a character take when it comes to this.

The game in general is poorly written trying to just suddenly make you forget that the kids murdered tons of people now that they're against the worst kid or Haiji's entire loving character, but Komaru's decision to just leave Monaca to her fate is one of the more sensible ones after everything that's happened.

She's too dramatic when things are just kinda bad and too calm when she's about to get drugged and murdered by a creepy photographer. I think it says more about her lines than her performance, tho.
