Regardless of your thoughts, feelings, or opinions, Curly very much is also a victim of Jimmy’s.

Curly is a victim of Jimmy’s.

Curly being a victim of Jimmy does not however make Anya any less of a victim. They were both different types of Victims, Anya being sexually assaulted and having her sense of safety, personhood, and autonomy violated. Curly was manipulated and belittled by Jimmy pre crash several times, Jimmy also completely twisted what Curly said a few times to warp it to his own perception. They did not have a healthy friendship.

Everyone on the Tulpar was a victim of Jimmy’s by the end.

- Curly in an unhealthy and unbalanced friendship

- Daisuke a victim of Jimmy’s Manipulation

- Swansea became a murder victim

- and of course Anya was a victim of rape and misogyny

But again, other characters being victimized by Jimmy do not detract from what happened to Anya or her Victimhood

#Mouthwashing #I’m sorry but everytime I see people act like Curly was horrible it drives me up the wall #despite being small all the characters in the game are complex #reducing them down to black and white concepts is an injustice #and you can really see peoples own biases come through with how they treat characters #Swansea is especially interesting to see biases play out around since most people see him in the middle #and they lean him either slightly more positive or negative based on their own biases experiences and preferred traits #some people dislike him because he’s an alcoholic which to me is kinda hmmmm #but others like him because of his strong fatherly traits #it’s both an interesting and frustrating phenomenon to me the way people perceive these five characters #Anya and Daisuke face the worst of it though in no small part to their gender and age respectively #long tags short it annoys me that people act like Curly can’t be a victim because of what Anya went through #and that he was Jimmy’s friend
