"how can m/f ships be good-" first of all through the power of bisexuality anything is possible so write that down. second of all if we start othering ships based on gender and nothing else we're no better than the opposition. third of all you need to watch more addams family

one big thing i think people outside fandom (like, all fandoms, fandom in general, not any particular one) tend to misunderstand is they know it's a subculture of people who are weirdly deeply invested in fictional media, and they hear about drama caused by people in those subcultures being unhinged in not-fun ways, and they think the unhingedness comes from the fact of being overinvested in works of fiction.

which is a natural assumption, but in my experience that's not really the case? like in my experience the drama llamas in fandom are usually not the ones who are just genuinely very deeply into the fiction. i've known people who are basically thinking about star trek or x-men comics or supernatural pretty much 100% of their free time and ime that type of person is usually very nice and surprisingly functional in their regular life. when someone's a constant nexus of fandom drama it's usually not that they are obsessed with the actual work of fiction the fandom is about, it's at least one of the following:

what they're obsessed with is not the source material but their unhealthy parasocial relationships with one or more of the people who created it

what they're obsessed with is not the source material but some elaborate shared-universe subset of fanfic about it that's only barely related to the original at this point, and/or an esoteric reading-against-the-text reinterpretation of the source material (often if the canon is active and ongoing this leads to becoming actively hostile toward it for its inevitably increasing failure to conform to their preferred fanon)

what they're obsessed with is not the source material but the fandom itself and gathering clout within it, so that the source material basically only exists to them as a tool for scoring points in increasingly arcane fandom disputes

and very often you get the same person doing 2 and sometimes even all 3 of these, and that's where the trouble really starts

Idk y'all, I just don't think meaninglessly breaking up one of gaming's most formative wlw couples with little to no explanation is really the move. In today's media climate especially, when it feels as though all the doors Max and Chloe helped open are suddenly being slammed shut again... Whine about the validity of bae vs bay, doomed narratives, trauma-bonding, and ill-founded time traveling anxieties all you want, Pricefield is a pillar of the queer games community, a significant moment in history, and destroying it has an impact. And I think people affected by that impact are allowed to be mad about it.

"but Bay ending was always the good ending and Bae ending the bad ending because it doesn't fit the theme of the game, why don't you understand?"

Maybe, just, maybe, people aren't actually okay with glorifying the ending that is so deeply rooted in a homophobic trope and that lowkey says that "you should accept the world needs you dead" to every single LGTBQ+ player playing the game?

Maybe going against fate no matter the price is an attractive idea to people who have been told by extremely heteronormative environments all their lives that they should just "give up and accept it and become the heteronormative definition of normal"?

And maybe punishing your players for rejecting BYG is a glaringly short-sighted move, reflective of said heteronormative worldview?

Also, just a thought, but maybe ending your game on such an "intended" message that a gay woman dealing with traumatic experiences deserves suicide by gunshot goes against every single thing the game had to say about mental wellness?

At least there was a choice to reject it - that is, until a different developer team came, decided to make a fanfic cash-grab of a sequel, and tut-tut at you how only one ending deserves "happiness".
