"oughhh you can't like carmine, she's abusive, she says 'its not like i hit him' in one scene so she's toxic and bad and you shouldn't portray her in a sympathetic light!!!" speaking as someone who genuinely has a toxic relationship with his older brother... shut up lmao

#part of her arc is literally about how she's wrong about how she treats outsiders and kieran and grows past it #like yeah her behavior is a major contributor to his mental breakdown but thats... the point. that shes in the wrong #and tries to make amends for it #like man idk thats better than what my own brother's done for me skldfjslkdf #also tbh thats another case where im like ''what does the original japanese text say'' bc thats a very pointed phrase #its also only one phrase in a game where she's otherwise concerned for him and is bad at showing it #i would also say that line could be interpreted in different ways... like why are kieran and carmine in custody of their grandparents?#not their bio parents?#tbh i think ppl are just put off that theyre not perfect siblings and dont do therapy speak lmao #im also a lot more forgiving to lines like that when theyre coming from characters who are very obviously wrong #like its not just a throwaway line that gets disregarded or seen as ''hehe CLASSIC carmine!'' no her relationship with kiki is strained!!#idk. reading wc and having to read jayfeather emotionally abuse a baby orphan with zero consequences will make you much more forgiving #of characters like carmine #echoed voice
