basically the story behind this is that i said that curly wasn’t as bad as jimmy and didn’t deserve what happened to him. they commented implying that he did deserve what happened. i replied and said “me when i’m slow” and instead of furthering their point, they blocked me and posted my @ on their story for their friends to attack me because apparently i’m ableist.

they were also a jimmy fan and a jimcurly fan. nothing else needs to be said.

but i looked at their videos and they posted jimcurly mpreg and immediately had my day destroyed.

i got attacked by a jimcurly shipper who drew jimmy mpreg and curly as the father yesterday i think i’ve finally hit rock bottom

it’s also worth mentioning that every time i see a jimmy hate video there’s always someone in the comments saying “uh well curly isn’t a good person either” like dawg WHO said he was. WHICH demons are you fighting rn.

edit: to clarify i’m talking about the post i saw. the fucking post i saw said nothing about curly being a good person but they still decided to bring up the fact that he’s not. that’s what this fucking rant is about. it’s about people bringing up curly’s flaws when curly isn’t even mentioned. use context clues.

“curly deserved everything that happened to him and he’s just as bad as jimmy!”

society if people would let me like curly without saying “erm he’s jusht ash bad ash shjimmy ☝🏻🤓” or “curlysh not a good pershon either ☝🏻🤓”

I personally wanna share my opinion about why I disagree with the "bro code" characterization/take of Curly. Can I do that, WITHOUT having an annoying rat in my ear telling that "I excuse his actions!" or that "I infantise him!" please?

Okay so, I disagree with it cuz the take basically says "he dgaf about Jimmy's abuse and only started to care when it affected him personally" when. It's literally heavily implied Jimmy has been abusing and manipulating before the crash.

Like please don't tell me you genuinely believed Jimmy and Curly ever had a healthy friendship. I'll bang my head against the wall please.

Once again if you disagree that's fine but keep scrolling please

i dont really like it when people dumb down Curly's characterization to just the guy enabling Jimmy. I get that that makes it easier to not like him, so that's why a lot of people do that, because they feel guilty about sympathizing with someone who's done smth fucked up like that, but i really don't think it's giving Curly the justice he deserves.

regardless of if you like him as a person or not, Curly is still a victim and he suffered greatly at Jimmy's hand. Just because he did something fucked up doesn't make him a 'monster' (sorry because i saw someone say that he looks like a monster post-crash and thats sticking with me because why TF are we saying disabled burn victims look like LITERAL MONSTERS- yall use some common sense I BEG)

Dumbing down characters is what fandom does best, but i think it particularly irks me in Mouthwashing because of the nature of the story. Jimmy already thinks of the rest of the crew poorly and doesn't see them for how they really are, we don't need to be doing that too.

I also feel like people don't really recognize the fact Jimmy manipulates and abuses Curly too, even before the crash. What Curly did was fucked up but for the love, don't dumb him down to just this one thing he did.

THIS EXACTLY. i would also like to mention that they were ON A FUCKING SPACESHIP. a fucking CRAMPED AREA. they were at curly AND JIMMY’S mercy. it’s not that curly didn’t care, it was that he didn’t want to trigger his unpredictable co-pilot and make things worse. he was trying to protect everyone and make sure jimmy didn’t do something.

should he have done something? yes. did he know HOW to handle it without triggering his unpredictable best friend? definitely not.

saying that curly “deserved what happened to him” because of that is fucking insane. it’s easier to say “i would’ve done [insert action here]” when you’re safe on earth in your room than to actually DO the action you say you would’ve done when you’re trapped in space with a completely unpredictable co-pilot.

'curlys lack of proper intervention enabled jimmy to continue his abuse towards anya and the rest of the crew and his character is a showcase of how men refuse to acknowledge the issue and take it seriously when their friends turn out to be predators. his inaction becoming the initial cause of everyones demise in the end is part of the games commentary on rape culture and how it affects the victims and everyone around them'

and

'curly isnt an inherently evil person but in fact a very human and relatable character who was genuinely upset with wht jimmy did but didnt want to take drastic measures in tht very moment to avoid causing more harm to anyone bcuz he knew jimmy was unpredictable and prone to becoming aggressive and he tried to handle the situation carefully (altho failed to do so in the end)'

r 2 statements tht can coexist btw

[paytenphobic]

u guys hear the new interactions??!???

[paytenphobic]

i understand that captain curly sucks for not disciplining jimmy for what he did to anya, but saying that curly is “just as guilty” or “just as bad” as jimmy and saying he deserved what happened to him is CRAZY WORK.

something that i noticed a lot is that a lot of wyllstarion shippers will randomly say some shit like “ugh why do people ship BLOODWEAVE when there’s WYLLSTARION” like brother you can like a ship without comparing it to the most popular one in the game.

don’t even get me started on the people on twitter who say “bloodweave is only more popular because it’s two white men” 😒 can we please like a ship without comparing it to others or trying to make another ship look racist 😭

i just failed both dice rolls to get gale out of the portal and he said “i can feel myself slipping away! i’ll perish in here!” now i feel like ending it all

[paytenphobic]

some freshman was in the hallway and asked me what i was doing in class and i said “oh, my weights class?” and he said “no your other class. YES YOUR FUCKING WEIGHTS CLASS.”

what do people gain from having a fucking attitude for no reason? like at that point just k¥s if you’re that miserable.
