I think acting like Jimmy’s struggles on Earth were like legal or related to being a criminal are so odd. Not in a bad way but just odd.

Like don’t get me wrong, I personally believe he’s had a run in with the law but I feel like it’d be minor, not even something that would get him a record. It could’ve, but it was dropped, not worth the time to pursue someone that down on their luck, probably not a dime to his name.

He’s a bad guy don’t get me wrong but it’s seems like his issues were with not being well-adjusted? In the whole sense, he’s snarky and unnecessary rude. He’s quick to anger and says things to pit people against each other. He likely doesn’t have many friends and we know he’s not financially well. I think tacking on bad traits diminishes the fact of what he did. Trying to fit him to that obviously evil arch type is a little bland to what he actually is. He’s normal enough to be a minor blip on the radar and that’s how he gets away with what he does.

Jimmy is ultimately scared of being in trouble. He gets into it but panics. He hates being confronted and he just doesn’t do things were he knows or perceives a bad outcome will happen to him.

#like he has misdomeaners in my mind no doubt but running from the cops? nah he’s not stupid enough #also it’s just like I only see it being used to say Curlu knew or should’ve known how bad he was before he gave him the job and I think #that’s a cop out cause like just let him be an evil tumor that infects people like a big #point is that their was reasonable doubt in Curlys mind about Jimmy if he was just that shitty always do you really genuinely believe he’d g #get him the job like he’s surprised Jimmy adjusted well due to the responsibility they have not because he’s being a law abiding citizen #it’s just like adding on shit for the sack of adding it on and like how do I use this in discussion like I think he dodged rent #got into bar fights for catcalling and Curly like thought this was a sterile enough thing to keep Jim clean #like he’s a morally bankrupt person by the end of the game but it’s implied he was just really grey back on earth hence why he has leeway #from anyone at all like ughhhh ask me about it cause it’s like again adding facts to characterize th that just aren’t canon #and it can overshadow the symbolism or story trying to design them from points we’ll never know #mouthwashing game #mouthwashing #jimmy mouthwashing
