You'd be very surprised to learn that there is a part of the DE fandom who are into KimHarry (well. Mainly Kim, actually) who very much Do Not Like the game itself because it's too........... political is the wrong word, but also the right one. They don't enjoy media that touches on Issues, and unfortunately I've seen many hot takes which in summary is just 'I don't like how this is portrayed because I find it uncomfortable and upsetting and that's why DE is a bad game.'

These people also ultimately do not understand Kim as a character because they're busy turning him into The Perfect Flawless Man, so. Yeah. It's not as bad anymore, at least. Most of these people moved on to the next flavour of the month (ie 'the next media with Difficult content that they choose to ignore or outright shittalk because they're only there for like 1-2 characters kissing')

man… i personally hold the opinion that people should be free to interact with a piece of media however they want so i try to refrain from judgement in that regard but i ALSO think that to completely reject any nuance in characterization that challenges the portrayal of a character as a anything but a flawless perfectly shippable puppet would be a huge disservice to not only the creators and the game as a work of art (with a cogent message and rich narrative inextricably tied to those central themes!!) but to the player as well, like DE is a whole Experience and you’d be missing out on so much if you refuse to actually engage with it ykwim?
