Sweet no Death ramble...

[Spoilers under the cut!]

Honestly I feel like what most "Stella antis" fail to consider is that she has much less control than they think. Like obviously she's in control of her planet and its residents... but that's it. That little planet is literally all she has. If Stella let all the residents be free and stopped tending to them she would literally lose her only purpose. Star witches get batted to their planets and are forced to start playing God, and they can't refuse because there's literally nothing else for them to do. And of course that doesn't mean that Stella is totally completely 100% in the right all the time and Lambchop isn't allowed to feel the way he feels, but it feels like some people just want Stella to be the "villain" unabashedly without even considering her side of things.

I guess it kinda stems from the fact that most of the in-depth star witch lore is on Arcade's social media and not in the game. I don't blame people for not knowing it, since I do believe that you shouldn't tuck away important lore in miscellaneous places and just expect people to know where to look. However there's plenty of media that has bits of lore scattered all over the place, and I honestly think if the star witch lore was more well-known (if it had been included in the game somehow OR if Arcade started more openly advertising the comic and other stuff) then people would be more understanding of Stella.

Also, even ignoring the way it changes fans' perception of Stella, that is genuinely an interesting concept. The fact that on her planet Stella is considered a God and is obviously much more powerful than everyone else, but in the grand scheme of things she's actually average and not that special at all. I think it's the idea that even the people that would be considered Godlike by our standards actually don't stand out among their own kind and in a lot of ways are more similar to us than we think.
