#Jimmy harshly like the characterization speaks volumes dimwit

You babify Curly way too much
I don't consider it babyifying more realizing the situation these characters were in and understanding the complexity of their choices. I always mention that Curly should've done more but the solutions people give aren't realistic at best or ignoring the plots and themes entirely at worse.
A lot of takes do act as if Curly wasn't guilty at all but I try to talk about the parallel of that tragedy between Jimmy, Curly and Anya, the difference between good intentions and ignorance along with trying to explain view points of characters we don't get. I don't think Curly did anything in his inaction about Anya out of malicious intent but inaction and misguided intent. It's how he parallels Jimmy who was genuinely menacing and tormenting her.
I don't know why people act like Curly should be punished further in the story. The game centers around his torture and dehumanization at the hands of Jimmy so he finally understands what Anya went through and couldn't escape. I don't strip him of the wrongs for enabling Jimmy and not protecting Anya but I do explore the deeper reason in his thinking and he's not characterized as intentional malicious, but just too focused on the wrong aspects.
I just dont understand making something so grey black and white when it comes to Curly's effectiveness as a friend/protector to Anya and a friend/enabler to Jimmy, but people tend to forget the form part of that statement.
#like he cant just kill or cryo or lock up Jimmy#it sounds simple but think about this as Curly being their superior and friend like the only concrete villian is Jimmy because he is#intentional while the game literally shows everyone at their worst#like he should've done more but think really hard about the viable options in canon before just saying why didn't he chew out or reprimmand#Jimmy harshly like the characterization speaks volumes dimwit#i make character analysis on tumblr dog if you want a specific interpretation just look at another blog you just allowed me to character#anaylze and fandom critique again like I love mirrored suffering and more complex than you could ever understand#swansea throwing it back video#mouthwashing#ask#anon
