Corey was always a monster. He didn't need a redemption arc

So um. I don't get why some fans wanted a redemption arc for Corey. Did we not play the same game?? He was always a shitty person.

Corey has been nothing but an unapologetic bigot since the moment we met him and DONTNOD clearly took inspiration from Stephen King villains like Henry Bowers.

He was heavily implied to be abusing and manipulating Dylan and Kat is vocally against him, so, he's angry at Kat for getting in the way of him being controlling. It's also implied that Corey did something to Kat to warrant her wanting to curse him. The letters we get from Dylan to Corey paint a miserable and failing relationship. The letter/exchange from Kat and Dylan suggests Kat TRYING to get Dylan out of an abusive relationship and Dylan trying to defend him.

The only scenes we get of him are hurling slurs at both the girls. If you don't film Dylan or Corey, when Dylan is trying to calm him down he says "don't fucking rush me" "why are you being a bitch all of a sudden" Then if you don't film him during The Abyss chapter, he yells at Kat saying "I will drag you by the ponytail and teach you not to spy on your sister" this is after Kat calls out his plan on stealing the Ranch from the Mikaelsens.

Liking D&D. One smile for like half a second, nodding to the song and responding to a medical emergency the way any remotely responsible adult would have. I don't think that was ever supposed to imply he wasn't an asshole. Also, him being friends with Autumn's cheater ex wasn't a fucking sign that Corey was a prick? Like Autumn said, birds of a feather.

Also Corey's personal home situation while tragic did not justify him being an abusive bigot.

He treated the ranch like his property. Just like Dylan. He used Dylan to get the ranch and to enrich himself. So technically, he's a gold digger.

The ranch wasn't even his. He had just convinced himself that because he was in line to get it, he immediately had ownership, and took it as Kat trying to destroy everything that was 'rightfully his' and a personal attack against him.

Corey's rage that came after just showed the pebbles that were left in the earlier parts of the game: he is not a good dude

Abusers come off like everyone else. They have likes and dislikes. They have friends and people that like them. That doesn't mean they aren't abusive assholes. I've seen friends who are friends with abusers who defend their actions "well I've never seen that happen" Unless you're the target of his abuse or happen to witness it, you might never know.

A lot of abusive people shows signs they 'could' be better, but then they revert back to their old ways. It's unfortunately realistic and it's kinda nice that the game painted him in the toxic light he should be seen in, when so many games or shows will try to make them redeemable instead.

I for one, am grateful that the game didn't shy away for Corey being the abusive turd that he was. It wasn't the Abyss that made him this awful. It just ramped up his shitty character.

I am also grateful they didn't go the Billy Hargrove direction by making him "possessed" and wiping away his shitty actions a season ago because fans woobified him enough to get the stupid writers to ignore his racism and abuse of his step-sister.

Also. I've known friends who had a Corey in their lives and it really disturbs me that fans want violent, bigoted and abusive men to be seen anything but the violent and bigoted abusive men they are.

Sometimes people are just awful. They don't need anything more or have something good "deep down". Sometimes, there are no shades of grey and a turd is still a turd.

That's not 'bad writing', that's just real life.

Also. It's not Corey you should be rooting for redemption, it's Dylan for choosing Kat over her abuser. Dylan is the person you should be rooting for, not her abuser.

They were driving a rented 2024 Chevy Malibu with Oklahoma plates. The traffic stop escalated when the musicians said they were Canadians. After an officer brought out a detection dog, the sisters were told the vehicle had tested positive for narcotics. After a physical search turned up nothing more than a bottle of wine and one of the sister’s medication, the questioning continued.

“The officer speaking to me seemed to believe that Canada was the root of where all these drugs were coming from,” Cassie said. “It seemed very much in line with the narrative that has recently been touted.”

The Trump administration has accused Canada of flooding the U.S. with the synthetic opioid fentanyl. The unsubstantiated claim is being used as pretext for tariffs placed on Canadian goods.

Before the MacDonald sisters were released from their detainment, they were both subjected, in separate police vehicles by different officers, to a loyalty test.

“Mine asked, ‘I have an important question to ask you, which do you prefer, Canada or the United States?’” Cassie said. “It seemed weighted, as if whether we were going to be given a further difficult time or if we were going to have the opportunity to go on our way depended on the answer I gave.”

People are now starting to spread misinformation about the sequel to Life is Strange Double Exposure just because they hate the game, saying it's been cancelled when there's no proof of that. Imagine how tired we are. 💀

Tesla is tanking so hard it is dragging the entire EV segment's sales down into the negative. When you omit Tesla from the equation, EV sales are up 13% across the board.

Don't let anyone tell you EV sales are in a slump.

I really wish people would stop pretending that Life is Strange Double Exposure is a bad game, I'm tired of that. 🧍🏼‍♀️

I don't care what anyone says, it's a good game.

[resipunk]

Everyday I see someone saying Double Exposure should be retconned out of existence just because they didn't like it when it shouldn't be, they can't even celebrate Chloe's birthday without bashing and trashing the game.

Double Exposure lives rent free in their heads fr.

Dylan you are so pretty, I love you. 🥰

Has anyone noticed this too? A girl who lost her mother.

No wonder Caitlyn was so fucking angry at this time, not only was it an attack on the memorial after losing her mother and being kidnapped and tortured etc... but her people died and children lost their mothers, just like this girl. And Cait was definitely feeling her sadness and fear.

This also reminds me of those people who say Caitlyn changed just bc her mother died, or how can she change just bc of one person's death? Well idiots IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!!

Like “Oh but she’s from Piltover, she gets all the luxuries that ppl of Zaun don’t” burying your mam in a nice casket does not make the pain any easier to deal with assholes!! she went through sm and people still overlooked her trauma as if she shouldn't be sad and angry bc she's an enforcer, rich, and an adult. WHAT STUPIDITY IS THIS? Seriously what does all this have to do with the character not being traumatized? These people should study psychology and educate themselves a little.

Like people forget this all happened to her in the span of less than a week. She went from a peaceful, pretty sheltered life to being terrorised by Jinx with almost no reprieve.

Video edited by: @mirellvi on TikTok

These people are asking and others are angry why Caitlyn has changed, this girl has been through hell bc of Jinx.

Jinx didn't show any mercy to Caitlyn. And Caitlyn has every right to hate her!! People who overlook what Jinx has done to her are so annoying. The change that happened to Caitlyn It did not start when her mother was killed.

She is gets more hate than the actual villains, and she did less harm than any other leader of Piltover or Zaun. People who excuse characters like Viktor, Sevika or Silco and even Ambessa, but they draw the line on Caitlyn?? they just wanna hate her tbh. Like they don’t comment on the bad and worst things that (Silco, Viktor, SINGED) did

Silco flooded the lanes with shimmer, pay the enforcers to 💀 zaunites and kid / nap children to work on his shimmer factories, and he was a perpetrator of his people suffering. All this and people are justifying his actions, well what about Caitlyn!?

And now someone will come with their stupid excuse and say “Silco is oppressed and wanted to free Zaun” Well being oppressed does not justify him oppressing his people too. Like where is the independence you guys are talking about, when he hurt his people to obey him, and force children to work in dangerous factories and pay enforcers to kill anyone who opposes him, why didn't he pay enforcers to work with him for benefit Zaun, if he really cared about people in Zaun!? And of course there is no need to talk about Ambessa and Singed, the most evil characters who did selfish things, and Viktor as well. But People Don't Care🙄

(I love Viktor btw) but what he did was so bad and terrible!! way worse than what or any other character.

But again people don't care what bad things Viktor did or would do, is it bc he's from Zaun, or bc he's a man? Anything goes... So I really want to know what's wrong with these people who hate Caitlyn so much.

Like it's okay to not like her and not accept her character, but spreading false information about her like “she gassed all of Zaun or that she does dictatorial things” which is absolutely not true. or worse, insulting and cursing people who love Caitlyn and spreading lies about them like they support corrupt regimes or that they are part of the KKK or that they support police brutality in real life bc they love a fictional character. This is so fucking crazy and I sick of it!! Like what makes these people think that I would be act like a fictional character in real life? They really need therapy.

Like they criticizing her bc they feel morally superior bc she's an enforcer and rich?? This is really so ridiculous.

Double Exposure will always be canon no matter what anyone says, people need to stop pretending that it isn't canon just because they don't like the game.

Life is Strange Double Exposure is not a "garbage" game and I'm tired of people pretending that it is.

Saying that Blake Lively suing the man who sexually harassed her constantly is a “feud” is so disgusting, J*stin B*ldoni is disgusting and anyone who defends him is too.
